Fixed-fare private transfer · per vehicle · 24/7
If you need to get from Westminster to Poole without juggling timetables, a pre-booked private transfer is the simplest option there is. Rushxo confirms a fixed fare for the full 123-mile journey before you commit, and the price holds whether you travel at 3 pm or 3 am.
Below you will find the working numbers for this journey - vehicle-by-vehicle fares, peak and off-peak timings, a straight comparison against rail and coach, and the booking steps from quote to drop-off. Prices shown are from-prices per vehicle; your exact fixed quote is confirmed before you book.
The Westminster to Poole run is about 123 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 300 | 3 | 2 | Toyota Prius / VW Passat class. The standard fixed-fare car for up to three travellers. |
| Estate | from GBP 335 | 3 | 4 | Same passenger count, double the boot. The right call for golf bags, prams or airport-sized luggage. |
| Executive | from GBP 435 | 3 | 2 | Mercedes E-Class class. Leather, water, phone chargers - for client pickups and occasions. |
| MPV (6 pax) | from GBP 415 | 6 | 4 | VW Sharan / Galaxy class for families and small groups travelling together. |
| 8-seat minibus | from GBP 495 | 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 300 works out near GBP 150 each for two travellers, GBP 100 for three - and the MPV splits six ways at around GBP 69 a head. That is the arithmetic that makes private transfer competitive with rail on this corridor for groups.
Unlike rail between Westminster and Poole, 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 300 per vehicle | Yes | Yes, 24/7, same fare | Confirmed at booking |

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 Westminster to Poole, 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 123-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.
Child seats, extra luggage space or a larger vehicle for groups are arranged at booking - tell us once and it is handled.
Door to door means door to door: the driver meets you at your address, helps with bags, and drops you exactly where you are going - not at a station two miles away.
A human answers. Booking changes, delays and special requests go through real support on phone or WhatsApp, 24/7.
One vehicle, the whole way. No connections to miss, no dragging suitcases between platforms, no waiting on a cold concourse at midnight.
Travelling on a Friday afternoon or a bank-holiday weekend? Book a pickup slot 20-30 minutes earlier than the calculator suggests - the fixed fare does not change, but your arrival buffer will thank you.
Need the return leg too? Book both directions together; round trips on this corridor are quoted as one fixed package.
Add a WhatsApp-enabled number at booking: driver details, live updates and same-day changes all happen in one thread.
Most bookings are paid by card once the fare is confirmed. The price agreed at booking is the price charged - no meter, no surge, nothing to settle in cash at the kerb unless you prefer to.
Short comfort stops are no problem. Planned detours or extra pickups just need to be mentioned at booking so the fixed quote covers them.
