Long Distance Taxi & Executive Travel
From Gerrards Cross to Southampton, Silverstone, Oxford or the other end of the country: one car, one driver, one fixed fare agreed before the wheels turn.
What counts as a long-distance taxi, and how does GX price it?
Any journey that takes you well beyond South Bucks: a cruise terminal on the south coast, a regional airport, a race meeting, a university drop-off or a one-way trip to another city. GX Executive And Taxi quotes each one as a single fixed fare for the whole car, door to door, agreed in writing before you travel. Slow motorways, roadworks and diversions are our problem, not an extra line on your bill.
We collect from Gerrards Cross and every town we cover, at any hour. Drivers are licensed for private hire and DBS-checked, and the cars range from executive saloons for one or two passengers to an eight-seat Ford Tourneo for a group with luggage.

How do cruise transfers from Gerrards Cross work?
We check your ship, terminal and check-in window before the day, set a pickup that gets you there inside that window, and take you to the terminal drop-off rather than a remote car park. For Southampton, roughly 70 miles away, allow around 90 minutes via the M40, M25 and M3. Dover is about 97 miles via the M25, M26 and M20, and we plan on two to two and a half hours.
Southampton has several cruise terminals, and the one you need depends on the ship, so the booking asks for your sailing details. The return is booked at the same time, and we watch for the ship's arrival so the driver is there when you come through. Our Southampton guide and Dover cruise and ferry guide go through the port-day details.
- Terminal confirmed from your sailing details
- Pickup timed to your check-in slot
- Cases lifted in and out for you
- Return collection arranged before you sail
- Seats for up to 8 with luggage
- Both legs quoted together upfront
When does a long-distance taxi beat the train?
- When three or four people share, the fare is split across the car

- When the start is before the first train or the finish after the last
- When the rail route means changing stations across London
- When you want to sleep on the way home

Which events do Gerrards Cross passengers book long-distance cars for?
Summer is the busiest season. We drive race-goers to Royal Ascot and the Epsom Derby, motorsport fans to Silverstone and the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and groups to Wimbledon and Henley Royal Regatta. Each has its own page with drop-off points and advice on getting away at the end. Away from the summer calendar, our guides cover Cheltenham Festival, Twickenham and Wembley.
How is a long-distance fare worked out?
We price the route from your pickup to the destination, the vehicle and any waiting or return leg, then give you one figure. Any airport drop-off charge is already inside that figure. There is no mileage reading at the end. If the driver is waiting for you at an event, the waiting time is agreed in the quote. Our fixed-price taxi page explains why agreed fares suit long journeys, and long-distance taxis from Gerrards Cross sets out when a car makes more sense than rail.
Which vehicle is best for a long trip?
Couples and solo business travellers usually choose the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series. Families going on a cruise tend to need more boot than seats, so the SEAT Alhambra (6) or Mercedes-Benz V-Class (7) is the safer choice. A group of eight with bags travels in the Ford Tourneo. Sharing one vehicle rather than running two cars also cuts emissions, a point made in our guide to sharing transfers.
Can you do a day trip and bring us back?
Yes. A wait-and-return booking suits a day in Oxford, a family visit or a funeral some distance away. Tell us roughly when you want to leave for home and we include the waiting in the fare. A day trip to Oxford from Gerrards Cross is a good example of how people use it.
Where do you collect from?
Anywhere in our area: Gerrards Cross, Beaconsfield, Amersham, the Chalfonts, Denham, Iver, Slough and the villages in between. Businesses sending staff on long trips can bill them to a corporate account, and 4am starts are routine for our 24 hour drivers.
