RushXO

Mitcham Taxi & Airport Transfers

Mitcham is built around one of London's largest surviving commons, midway between Croydon, Sutton and Wimbledon. It has one of England's oldest cricket greens, a busy market town centre and a dense network of Tramlink stops, and it is well placed for both Gatwick down the A217 and Heathrow via the A3.

RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across Mitcham and the rest of south London. 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.

Local knowledge: getting around Mitcham

The A217 towards Sutton and Banstead is the direct road south to the M25 and M23 for Gatwick, while the Croydon Road takes you east to the A23. Mitcham's town centre and the Fair Green junction are the slow spots, so our drivers often use the Willow Lane and Beddington Lane industrial roads to skirt round them. Mitcham Junction is the main rail station for Thameslink and Southern, and Tramlink runs through to Wimbledon and Croydon.

Main roads

Rail and public transport

Mitcham Junction has Southern and Thameslink trains to Victoria, London Bridge and St Albans, plus Tramlink; Mitcham Eastfields and Tramlink stops at Mitcham and Phipps Bridge are also handy. 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 Mitcham is usually quicker, simpler and — for two or more people — often no more expensive.

Can I book a pickup from Mitcham Junction station?

Yes. Alongside standard saloons and estates we run executive vehicles and people carriers across Mitcham for business travel, weddings, events and airport transfers. Choose the vehicle class when you request your fixed-price quote.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Nothing changes for you. Your driver monitors the flight and adjusts the pickup time to the actual landing time, so you are met when you arrive rather than charged for waiting. This applies to every airport pickup we bring back to Mitcham.
