Medway Taxi & Airport Transfers

The Medway towns — Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham — sit on the Thames Estuary, built around one of England's best-preserved historic dockyards and Rochester's castle and cathedral. With the M2 running along the southern edge of the towns and the A229 climbing Blue Bell Hill to the M20, Medway is well connected to London, the airports and the Channel ports.

RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Medway (Chatham, Rochester & Gillingham) and the rest of south-east London and Kent. Every journey is quoted in full before you travel — airport transfers, station runs, cruise and ferry ports, business travel and days out — with professional drivers, flight tracking and 24-hour availability, 365 days a year.

Airport transfers from Medway

We run to and from every London airport from Medway around the clock. Distances and typical door-to-door times are shown below; your fixed fare is confirmed at booking and does not change if traffic is slow.

*Typical ranges for guidance only — actual journey time depends on the time of day, roadworks and weather. When you book we suggest a pickup time that gives you sensible margin for check-in. Meet-and-greet on airport pickups includes flight tracking, so if your flight is late your driver simply meets the actual landing time.

Local knowledge: getting around Medway

From Medway the M2 west to the M25 at junction 2 is the road for everything north and west: the Dartford Crossing for Stansted and Luton, or round the M25 for Heathrow. Gatwick is via the M2, M25 and M23 or, when the M25 is troubled, across country on the A229 and M20 to junction 5 then the M25 south. Our drivers know the Medway City Estate and Strood one-way system, and Rochester station's HS1 services to St Pancras in 35 minutes make it a regular meeting point for the whole conurbation.

Main roads

• M2 junctions 1–4
• A2 Watling Street
• A228 Frindsbury
• A229 Blue Bell Hill

Rail and public transport

Rochester, Chatham and Gillingham all have Southeastern High Speed services to St Pancras in around 35–45 minutes, plus classic routes to Victoria and Cannon Street. Trains are great for a quick trip into town, but for early flights, late arrivals, luggage, children or a group travelling together, a pre-booked fixed-price car from your door in Medway is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.
