From the doorstep collection in Thatcham to the door-to-door drop in Reading, every detail is handled by a professional, route-experienced chauffeur.
The price you see is the price you pay. Any toll, the London Congestion Charge and waiting time are built into the quote — agreed at booking and never altered, whatever the traffic does on the day.
We plan your Thatcham pickup around your flight, train or sailing via the A4, M4 and M25, building in a sensible buffer. On the return we track your inbound service so the driver is already adjusting if it runs early or late — reasonable delays are never charged.
Every driver is TfL Private Hire licensed, enhanced-DBS checked, and knows the London road network inside out. Suited, courteous and discreet.
Pre-dawn departures, late-night arrivals, last-minute bookings — our dispatch runs around the clock, and a 5am job costs exactly the same fixed fare as a midday one.
Saloons, executive Mercedes and BMW, six-seat MPVs and 8–9-seat minibuses — valeted before every job, with complimentary bottled water and phone chargers.
On the return, your driver waits at the terminal or concourse with your name on a board, tracks your service and helps with the luggage — no taxi-rank queue. A 4.9-star service across 4,850 patrons.
Every vehicle is available for this route. Fares below are fixed one-way, Thatcham to Reading, and include a 60-minute free wait (or tracked arrival wait) at collection.

On the return we collect you from the door at the time you need, with no waiting at a rank.

On-demand apps apply surge pricing that peaks exactly when you most need to travel — early mornings, late nights, holiday weekends and bad weather. A RushXO fare does the opposite: calculated on genuine road distance, quoted as a single fixed figure at booking, and never altered. No surge multiplier, no peak uplift, no night premium, no Bank Holiday surcharge. Whatever the traffic does, the driver absorbs the delay; your fare does not move.
Thatcham is a market town in West Berkshire on the River Kennet, three miles east of Newbury and a claimant to the title of oldest continuously inhabited place in Britain. It carries the RG18 and RG19 postcodes and sits on the A4 with its own station on the line to London Paddington. For travellers here the realistic routes to the airports, the London stations and the coast run via the A4, M4 and M25, where a pre-booked fixed-fare car removes the changes and the parking. We collect door-to-door from anywhere across Thatcham and the surrounding area, plan the timing around your service, and lock the price at booking.
Reading is the county town of Berkshire and the commercial heart of the Thames Valley, set at the confluence of the Thames and the Kennet. Its mainline station is one of the busiest interchanges outside London, served by Great Western intercity trains, the Elizabeth line and CrossCountry services, while The Oracle and Broad Street anchor a major shopping centre. We drop at the station, the town centre or any local address door-to-door, and on the return collect you from the door.

For families and groups the journey is far simpler in one vehicle than split across cars or managed by public transport with its changes. A single RushXO MPV or 8–9-seater carries everyone and all the luggage door-to-door for one fixed fare — frequently cheaper per head than the alternatives, and far less stressful with children or early starts. Child seats and boosters are provided free on request; just tell us the ages and number of children at booking.
A pre-booked RushXO transfer means your driver is named and identifiable to you in advance, holds an enhanced DBS check as a condition of their TfL Private Hire licence, and operates a fully insured, logged vehicle. You receive the driver's name, number, and the vehicle's make, model and registration before pickup. A female chauffeur can be requested for lone or late-night travellers, at no surcharge.
