New Addington Taxi & Airport Transfers
New Addington sits on high ground east of Croydon, a large planned estate on the edge of the Kent border that is served by the tram rather than a railway line.
RushXO is a TfL-licensed private hire operator providing fixed-price, no-surge taxis and executive cars across New Addington and the wider Croydon area. Every journey is quoted in full before you travel, with flight tracking and 24-hour availability, 365 days a year.
Airport transfers from New Addington
New Addington is unusually well placed for Gatwick, which is a short run south via Featherbed Lane and the M23 or down through Croydon and the A23. Heathrow is the longer trip because it means crossing to the west of London, so we normally recommend a wider margin for morning flights.

Local knowledge: getting around New Addington
Central Parade is the hub of the estate and the easiest place to be collected from, with Lodge Lane and King Henry's Drive the main routes in. The lanes towards Biggin Hill and the Kent border are narrow and unlit, so we usually route airport journeys back through Addington Village and the A2022 rather than across the hills at night.

Rail and public transport
New Addington is the southern terminus of the tram, which runs to Addington Village, Lloyd Park and East Croydon in around 25 minutes. There is no National Rail station on the estate, so almost every airport transfer, early start and late arrival here is made by car.

Can I book a pickup from the tram stops?
Yes. We collect from Central Parade, King Henry's Drive, Fieldway and Addington Village. Tell us your tram arrival time and your driver will be waiting at the stop – useful late at night when the tram is the last leg of a longer journey.
Do you run early-morning airport pickups from New Addington?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and early departures are among our most common bookings here because the tram does not run early enough for the first flights out of Gatwick.
Do you offer executive chauffeur cars in New Addington?
Yes. Alongside standard saloons and estates we run executive vehicles and people carriers across New Addington 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 New Addington.
