Fixed-fare private transfer · per vehicle · 24/7
A Stratford to Leicester private transfer with Rushxo is booked as one fixed price for the vehicle - not per person - covering the full door-to-door distance of about 114 miles. You will know the exact fare, the vehicle class and the pickup plan before the day.
This page sets out everything most travellers ask us about the route: realistic journey times at different hours, what each vehicle class costs, how the fare compares with the train and the coach, and how pickup actually works on the day. If anything is missing, the booking desk answers on phone and WhatsApp around the clock.
The Stratford to Leicester run is about 114 miles by road, but the clock depends heavily on when you travel. These are the planning figures our dispatchers use for this corridor:
Off-peak - mid-morning, early afternoon and most of the weekend. The realistic default for planning.
Weekday peak - roughly 07:00-09:30 and 16:00-18:30. Book the earlier pickup; the fare does not change.
Overnight - after 22:00 the roads empty out. Popular for dawn flights and late arrivals, at the same fixed fare.
Estimates for a direct run in normal conditions; your driver follows live routing on the day.
| Vehicle | Fare | Passengers | Large cases | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Saloon | from GBP 285 | 3 | 2 | Toyota Prius / VW Passat class. The standard fixed-fare car for up to three travellers. |
| Estate | from GBP 320 | 3 | 4 | Same passenger count, double the boot. The right call for golf bags, prams or airport-sized luggage. |
| Executive | from GBP 415 | 3 | 2 | Mercedes E-Class class. Leather, water, phone chargers - for client pickups and occasions. |
| MPV (6 pax) | from GBP 395 | 6 | 4 | VW Sharan / Galaxy class for families and small groups travelling together. |
| 8-seat minibus | from GBP 470 | 8 | 8 | Mercedes Vito class. One vehicle for the whole party, luggage trailer arrangeable. |
From-prices per vehicle for this route, fixed when your booking is confirmed. Reasonable hand luggage is additional to the case counts shown.
Because the fare covers the vehicle, the per-person cost falls fast with company: the saloon at GBP 285 works out near GBP 142 each for two travellers, GBP 95 for three - and the MPV splits six ways at around GBP 66 a head. That is the arithmetic that makes private transfer competitive with rail on this corridor for groups.
Unlike rail between Stratford and Leicester, a private transfer leaves on your schedule, takes your luggage without limits, and costs the same per vehicle whether one of you travels or four.
| Option | Indicative cost | Door to door? | Runs at night? | Luggage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rushxo private transfer | from GBP 285 per vehicle | Yes | Yes, 24/7, same fare | Confirmed at booking |
| Train | GBP 44-104 per person* | No - station to station | Limited / none | Self-managed |
| Coach | GBP 20-46 per person* | No - stop to stop | Sparse overnight | Hold limits apply |
*Indicative public-transport ranges for comparison only; actual ticket prices vary by operator, date and booking time - check operators for live fares.
The honest version: for a solo traveller on an advance ticket, the train can win on price. The private transfer wins when the value of door-to-door shows up - luggage, groups, odd hours, hard deadlines, or simply not wanting to manage two station transfers with a family in tow.
Message or call with Stratford to Leicester, your date, time and passenger count. Quotes usually come back within minutes, 24/7.
We confirm the exact fare for your vehicle class in writing. That number is now fixed - traffic, hour and weather cannot move it.
Before travel you receive the driver's name, vehicle and contact, plus the operator handling your leg of the journey.
The driver arrives at the agreed slot, helps with luggage, and takes the best live route for the 114-mile run. Pay nothing extra at the kerb.
Round trips and multi-stop days are quoted as a single fixed package, usually below two separate one-way fares.
One vehicle, the whole way. No connections to miss, no dragging suitcases between platforms, no waiting on a cold concourse at midnight.
Drivers are locally licensed private-hire professionals working with vetted local operators on every leg of the network.
A human answers. Booking changes, delays and special requests go through real support on phone or WhatsApp, 24/7.
Your fare is fixed at booking. Late-night departures, early flights and Friday traffic do not change the number we agreed.
For meetings or events with a hard start time, give us the must-arrive-by time instead of a pickup time - we plan backwards from it.

Same-day is often possible, but 24-48 hours ahead guarantees vehicle choice - especially for minibuses, executive cars and dawn airport slots.
