For airport transfers from Medway postcodes, fixed prices are available on our website for every major London airport.

Customers can book through the app, website, or phone, with cash or card payment options confirmed at booking. Every booking goes through the app, the website, or a phone call, confirmed before the driver moves. This booking process helps protect passengers and keeps pricing transparent.

Why Every Express Cabs Driver Is Vetted Before They Carry Passengers

Every driver in our fleet is DBS-checked, licensed by the relevant local authority, and trained before they carry passengers. You can track your driver in real time from the moment of dispatch. Our vehicles are fully licensed and maintained to meet private-hire operating requirements. Calls to the office are recorded for training purposes.

We don’t dispatch drivers who haven’t been fully vetted, regardless of demand. If you book a cab for a late-night return from a Chatham or Rochester venue, the driver who arrives is a licensed, vetted driver; no unlicensed vehicles.
