Bluewater taxi fares
One-way guide fares in a saloon (sedan) starting from Bluewater. Because the centre is next to the A2 and a mile from M25 Junction 1b, airport prices are close to those from Dartford. Any tolls, the Dart Charge and airport drop-off charges are already in the figure wherever the journey requires them, and we confirm the exact amount before dispatching the car.
| Journey | Fixed fare (from) | Journey time |
|---|---|---|
| Bluewater → Greenhithe station | £8 | 5 min |
| Bluewater → Ebbsfleet International HS1 to St Pancras | £13 | 8–10 min |
| Bluewater → Dartford DA1 town centre | £13 | 8–12 min |
| Bluewater → Gravesend DA11/DA12 | £19 | 15–20 min |
| Bluewater → Darent Valley Hospital | £8 | 8–12 min |
| Bluewater → Bexleyheath DA6/DA7 | £25 | 15–25 min |
| Bluewater → Sidcup DA14/DA15 | £29 | 20–30 min |
| Bluewater → Tilbury cruise terminal via the Crossing | £18 | 15–25 min |
| Bluewater → London City Airport | £45 | 30–50 min |
| Bluewater → Central London Zone 1 | £66 | 40–70 min |
| Bluewater → Gatwick | £72 | 45–70 min |
| Bluewater → Heathrow all terminals | £82 | 60–90 min |
Prices are for a standard saloon (sedan), one way. Where available, an estate costs the same and takes more shopping; a 6-seat MPV is roughly a quarter more and an V Class roughly half as much again. The quote already covers the Dartford Crossing, ULEZ and any airport drop-off charge. There is no booking fee, no card surcharge, and no late-night premium.
Where your driver meets you at Bluewater
Bluewater is a big site with a ring road, several multi-storey car parks and separate entrances for each anchor store. A vague "outside the main entrance" leads to phone calls and wasted minutes, so we agree a specific point when you book.
Give us the store you are nearest
Tell us which department store or entrance you finish at – the John Lewis end, the House of Fraser end, the Marks & Spencer entrance or the Showcase Cinema side. Each has its own drop-off area and nearby car park, and we send the driver to that one.
Drop-off and pickup bays
The surface-level drop-off bays outside each entrance are where we collect. Drivers wait in the bay rather than circling the ring road, and you get the car and registration by text so you can spot it.
Cinema and restaurant late pickups
For the Showcase Cinema and the restaurants around the Winter Garden and the Village, the driver waits at the nearest bay to that block. Book for the end of the film and we time it to the advertised running time.
Heavy shopping
If you have a full trolley, wait inside by the entrance and the driver will come to the door and help load. Ask for an estate at booking if it is a big trip – same price as a saloon (sedan) where available.
If plans change while you are there, message the new entrance to 020 8888 9988 and we redirect the driver. It is easier than walking the perimeter with bags.
Late-night taxis from Bluewater
The shops close in the evening but the cinema, restaurants and bars run late, and the last buses do not suit everyone. Ride-hail coverage around Greenhithe after 11pm is unreliable, and prices climb when a film lets out and forty people request a car at once. That is when pre-booking earns its keep.
- Same price at midnight as at midday. A Bluewater to Dartford run is from £13 whatever the time. Gravesend from £18, Bexleyheath from £23.
- Book it before you go in. Send us the film or the restaurant reservation time and we allocate a driver for the end of it. If the meal runs long, one message moves the car.
- A named driver waiting at a named bay. No app roulette, no cancellations, no wandering around the ring road in the dark.
- Groups sorted. A 6-seat MPV or V Class minibus takes the whole table home in one car for roughly 25% or 50% more than a saloon (sedan).
We also do late pickups from the nearby hotels for guests heading into London or to the airports for early flights, and we cover Christmas late-opening evenings when the car parks are full and getting out takes patience. More on our late-night taxi page.
Airport transfers from Bluewater
With the A2 on its doorstep and the M25 beginning a mile away at Junction 1b, Bluewater makes a handy meeting point for an airport run – plenty of families gather here so the car does one pickup instead of two. Prices match our Dartford airport fares.
| Airport | From | Time | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| London City | £45 | 30–50 min | A2, Blackwall Tunnel, A13 – no drop-off charge |
| Gatwick | £75 | 45–70 min | M25 J1b to J7, M23 – £7 drop-off included |
| Stansted | £81 | 55–80 min | QEII bridge, M25, M11 – £7 drop-off included |
| Luton | £97 | 70–100 min | Crossing and M25 – £5 drop-off included |
| Heathrow | £82 | 60–90 min | M25 or A2/A4 – £6 drop-off included |
On the return, we track your flight and allow 60 minutes of free waiting once you have landed; a driver with a name board in arrivals can be arranged on request. We cover the cruise ports as well: Tilbury from £18 via the Crossing, Dover from £106 along the A2 and M2, and Southampton from £150. Route detail is on the Gatwick, Heathrow and Dover pages, with the overview on our airport transfers page.
