Fixed-Price Taxis in Gerrards Cross
Know the fare before the car arrives. Every GX journey from Gerrards Cross is priced as one agreed figure, and this page explains exactly what that figure includes.
What does a fixed-price taxi actually mean?
It means the fare is agreed before you travel and does not change on the day, however long the journey takes. GX Executive And Taxi quotes every trip from Gerrards Cross this way. There is no meter in the car, no surge when demand rises and no extra charge after dark. Give us your pickup, destination, time, number of passengers and luggage, and we reply with one figure.
A fixed fare is not a vague estimate that can drift upwards. The only things that can change it are changes you make to the booking, such as an extra stop or more passengers, and we set those out plainly below.

What is included in a fixed fare?
Quoted Before Booking
You see the full fare by phone, WhatsApp or the online form before anything is confirmed.
Traffic Is Our Risk
A jam on the M40 or a diversion round a closed road does not add a penny.
Same Price at Any Hour
Midnight, Sunday morning or Boxing Day, the fare is set by the route, not the clock.
Airport Charges Included
Terminal drop-off fees are inside the quote, not added at the kerb.
Can a fixed-price fare ever change?
Only if the journey you booked changes. Our terms and conditions say the quoted price stands provided the details stay the same, and list the exceptions:
- Extra stops added during or after booking.
- Waiting beyond the free allowance, for example if you ask the driver to wait while you pop into a shop for twenty minutes.
- More passengers or luggage than were booked, especially if a larger car is needed.
- Cleaning after soiling.
Traffic, weather, roadworks, the time of day and busy periods are not on that list. If something does need to change, we tell you the new figure before the car moves.
Fixed fare or metered taxi: which works out cheaper?
On a clear road the two can land close together. The difference shows on bad days. A metered cab stuck behind an accident on the M25 keeps charging; a fixed fare does not. Fixed pricing also lets you compare firms properly, and budget for regular trips such as a weekly hospital appointment or a school term of runs. Our article fixed-price vs metered taxis works through examples, and airport parking vs taxi does the same sum for holiday trips.
Rated 4.9★ by our passengers
Trusted by hundreds of travellers across Gerrards Cross and the Chilterns, with 46 Google reviews and counting.
“Nice clean car, cheerful and welcoming driver. Would recommend.”
“Always great service and on time.”
“Nothing but wonderful experiences with this firm. Fair prices, friendly and polite drivers. We've had amazing feedback from our staff at school too, saying how patient the drivers are.”
Why doesn't GX publish a price list?
Because two trips that sound identical rarely are. A run "to the station" from a flat on Packhorse Road and one from a house out past Fulmer are different distances, and a family of six needs a different car from a solo commuter. Rather than print a "from" price that almost nobody pays, we quote your journey precisely, usually within minutes, and you decide.
What details do you need for a quote?
Five things: where you are starting, where you are going, the date and time, how many people, and how many bags or items such as a pushchair or golf clubs. For airport pickups add the flight number. If the trip includes a stop or a wait, mention it now so it is built into the figure rather than added later. Call 01753 858585, WhatsApp us or use the quote form.
What does a fixed quote look like in practice?
Here is an illustration rather than a real booking. Suppose a couple in Gerrards Cross are flying from Heathrow Terminal 5 for a week, with two large cases, and they send the address, the flight times both ways and the luggage. We reply with a price for each leg in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, including the drop-off charge on the way out and flight tracking on the way back. On departure day the M25 is slow and the run takes the full 35 minutes; the fare is unchanged. A week later the return flight lands forty minutes late; the driver adjusts to the new time and the fare is still unchanged. The only reason it would have moved is if they had added a stop or a third passenger with more bags.
Before booking any airport car, run through our checklist for a reliable airport taxi, which starts with confirming the fixed price and what it covers.
How can I pay for a fixed-price taxi?
You can pay by card or cash, arrange payment over WhatsApp, or put regular journeys on a monthly invoice through a corporate account. Wondering whether to add a tip on top of a fixed fare? Our UK taxi tipping guide covers what is usual.
Which journeys are most often booked at a fixed price?
From Gerrards Cross, the regulars are the station run, trips to Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, shopping and school journeys, and airport transfers, with Heathrow around 20–35 minutes away. Longer trips follow the same rule: one figure for the whole car on our long-distance service. Fares do not rise overnight either, which matters for the 24 hour taxi bookings.
Do other towns get the same fixed-price service?
Yes. Every place we cover has a fixed-price page describing its typical trips and pickup points:
- Fixed-price taxis in Beaconsfield
- Chalfont St Peter, Chalfont St Giles and Little Chalfont
- Stoke Poges, Farnham Common and Fulmer
- Denham and Iver
Which vehicles can I book at a fixed price?
All of them, with the vehicle named in the quote. A Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series carries up to 4, a SEAT Alhambra 6, a Mercedes-Benz V-Class 7 and a Ford Tourneo 8. The whole fleet is shown with capacities, and the same pricing applies to chauffeur bookings on our executive cars page.

Is a fixed-price taxi fare really fixed?
Yes. Once agreed, the fare does not change because of traffic, diversions, weather or the time of day. It only changes if the booking itself changes.
What could make my fixed fare go up?
Only changes to the booking: extra stops, waiting beyond the free allowance, more passengers or luggage than booked, or cleaning after soiling. We confirm any new figure before the car moves.
Do you charge more at night or on bank holidays?
No. A journey from Gerrards Cross costs the same at 3am, on a Sunday or on a bank holiday as it does on a weekday afternoon.
Are airport drop-off charges included in a fixed fare?
Yes. Any terminal drop-off charge is included in your quote.
Why don't you publish prices on the website?
Journeys that sound alike differ in distance, time, passengers and vehicle, so we quote each one individually instead of showing a starting price few people would pay.
What do I need to tell you to get a fixed quote?
Your pickup, destination, date and time, number of passengers and luggage. Add a flight number for airport collections and any stops or waiting you need.
How can I pay?
By card or cash, via WhatsApp, or on a monthly corporate account for regular business travel.
Can I cancel a fixed-price booking?
Yes. Cancellations with reasonable notice are free. A charge may apply for very short-notice cancellations or once a driver has been dispatched, and we will always discuss it with you.
