From the doorstep collection in Tonbridge to the terminal drop-off at Tilbury, 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 Tonbridge pickup around your flight, train or sailing via the A21, M25 and M20, 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, Tonbridge to the Port of Tilbury, and include the Dartford Crossing and a 60-minute free wait (or tracked arrival wait) at collection.
RushXO prices the Tonbridge to Tilbury journey on genuine road distance rather than a meter that climbs in traffic. A saloon starts from around £95, with executive, MPV and minibus options priced accordingly — all quoted as a single fixed figure for the vehicle, with the Dartford Crossing included, ideal for cruise luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fixed fare from |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | Up to 4 passengers | £95 |
| Executive (Mercedes/BMW) | Up to 3 passengers | £112 |
| MPV | Up to 6 passengers | £118 |

From Tonbridge we head up the A21 to the M25, track it round across the Dartford Crossing, then drop down to the A1089 and the Port of Tilbury terminal. It is a fast, mostly motorway run, with the M25 and Dartford the main variables, which is why a route-experienced driver and a sensible buffer matter when a sailing will not wait.
The Dartford Crossing charge is already inside your fixed fare. On the return we time the collection to your arriving sailing.
| Distance | 40 miles |
| Off-peak | 1 hr 10 min |
| Morning peak (07:00–09:30) | 1 hr 40 min +30 |
| Evening peak (16:00–19:00) | 1 hr 50 min +40 |
| Overnight (22:00–06:00) | 1 hr 00 min |
Indicative times for the full run. We always plan your pickup with a sensible buffer for London traffic.

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.
Tonbridge is a medieval market town in west Kent on the River Medway, famous for its motte-and-bailey castle and four miles north of Royal Tunbridge Wells. It carries the TN9 and TN10 postcodes and has a fast mainline station to London. For travellers here the realistic routes to the airports, the London stations and the coast run via the A21, M25 and M20, where a pre-booked fixed-fare car removes the changes and the parking. We collect door-to-door from anywhere across Tonbridge and the surrounding area, plan the timing around your service, and lock the price at booking.
The Port of Tilbury sits on the north bank of the River Thames in Essex, about 25 miles east of central London, reached via the A13 and A1089. Its London International Cruise Terminal — the restored former Tilbury Riverside station — is the capital's historic ocean gateway, the arrival point of the Windrush generation and now a base for cruises to the Baltic, Norway and beyond with lines such as Ambassador and Oceania. We drop you at the terminal check-in timed to your sailing, and on the return collect you for the run home.

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.
