What can affect your fare
The figure is built from your actual journey, so a handful of things move it:
- Airport drop-off and collection charges
- Tunnel and toll charges
- Journey distance and route
- Other applicable external costs
That's why you'll always see your exact, up-to-date price for your specific journey before you book, worked out from the tariff and the fixed fares shown above.
Where the money actually goes
A fare with us pays for a licensed local driver, a car that is maintained and inspected, and an office that answers the phone at 4am.
Cheaper rides exist. What they tend not to come with is twenty years of the same company answering the same phone number, and a customer base that books us out of habit rather than necessity.

Taxi Price Questions
The questions we get asked most about how our fares work.
The tariff starts at £3.80 (£5.70 for a 6-8 seat minibus) plus roughly £2.20 a mile, which puts a short hop across Billericay at around £6-9. From 8pm, overnight, and on Sundays and bank holidays a small supplement applies. Whatever the journey, the exact figure shows before you book, on the website, the app or over the phone.
Anything longer, airports, stations, cruise terminals and long-distance runs, is quoted as one fixed figure before you travel, tolls and the Dartford Crossing included. The "from" fares are published on this page. Local work runs on the standard tariff instead: a start rate plus a per-mile rate, with evening, overnight and Sunday supplements.
The tariff and every fixed "from" fare we publish are on this page. We do not print a price for every journey imaginable, because the true figure depends on your exact route, the time of day, and whatever the airports and tunnels are charging that month. Put your journey in and the current price comes back before you commit to anything.
Type your pickup and destination into the website or the Mayflower Cars app and the fare appears in a few seconds, before anything is booked. Prefer the phone? Ring 01277 624000 and the office will quote it.
Airport transfers are quoted as a fixed fare before you travel. From Billericay, saloon fares start from £48 to Southend, £75 to London City, £78 to Stansted, £105 to Gatwick, £110 to Luton and £117 to Heathrow; 6-8 seat minibuses and other pickup points are priced accordingly. Enter your journey on our website or app to see your exact fixed price. Tolls and the Dartford Crossing are included.
Yes. We provide fixed-fare transfers from Billericay to the cruise terminals at Tilbury, Harwich, Dover, Southampton and Portsmouth, plus Eurostar terminals and all the main London stations. Congestion charges are included where applicable, and all fares are agreed before you travel.
On fixed-fare work, yes. Where the route uses a toll or the Dartford Crossing, that cost sits inside the quote from the start. Nothing gets added at the drop-off.
Neither. Your fare does not climb because it is raining, busy or past midnight, and there is no fee bolted on for the act of booking. The figure quoted is the figure charged.
