Newham is covered for every London airport, cruise port, station and point-to-point trip. Drivers who know the local roads plan around the traffic, and airport pickups are flight-tracked so the timing holds.
Booking takes about two minutes and your fare is fixed from the start. Here is how a journey works, step by step.
Enter your pickup and drop-off for your Newham journey on our booking page, or call us. You get an instant, fixed price — no meters and no surge pricing.
Choose a saloon, estate, MPV or 8-seater, add child seats or meet and greet, and confirm in under a minute. We send your driver's name, number and car before pickup.
On airport journeys we track your flight by number and adjust the pickup to your real landing time. Your driver can wait in arrivals with a name board and help with your luggage.
Your driver takes you directly to your destination and you pay online, by card in the car, or on account — always at the fixed fare you were quoted.

Round-the-clock booking and travel.
Newham, in east London, is home to Stratford, the Olympic Park and London City Airport at the Royal Docks. With the airport so close, transfers here are short and frequent, and Stratford offers fast rail links. We collect from any Newham address and quote a fixed fare before you travel.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from Newham, though the fastest journey on the day depends on traffic and which motorway corridor you take — a numerically closer airport can still be the slower option if it means crossing London rather than joining a direct route. Here is roughly how each of the six compares, in normal traffic:
Of all the areas we cover, Newham ranks 1st closest to London City out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
London City — about 2 miles (15–25 min by road); Newham lies to the north-north-west of it.
Heathrow — about 28 miles (45–70 min by road); Newham lies to the east of it.
Stansted — about 30 miles (40–65 min by road); Newham lies to the south-south-west of it.
Gatwick — about 35 miles (40–65 min by road); Newham lies to the north-north-east of it.
Luton — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Newham lies to the south-east of it.
Southend — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Newham lies to the west of it.
One rule marks a minicab out from a black cab: you cannot wave one down. Every journey is pre-arranged, and the driver and vehicle both require a separate private hire licence to work legally. Booking through Airport Move reflects exactly that — your fare and pickup time are confirmed in advance, and a licensed driver meets you at the time agreed, never hailed on the road. In Newham specifically, London City is the closest of the six by road — roughly 2 miles away, with Newham lying to the north-north-west of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Newham reaches every London airport just as reliably.
the main approach roads are at their busiest on weekday mornings and early evenings around Newham, as commuter traffic overlaps with airport and local trips. Early or late weekday journeys benefit from extra time in the schedule; quieter periods fall on evenings, weekends and school holidays. Whatever the traffic, your driver plans the route in advance and the fare does not change.
On the day, your driver confirms the pickup point in advance so there is no last-minute searching, and for airport legs the flight is tracked so the car is ready whether you land early or late. Allow the usual airport routine either side of the drive itself: security and check-in on the way out, and passport control or baggage reclaim on the way in, both of which our free waiting allowance already covers.
Sort out group size and luggage when you book, not on the day: four passengers and two large cases fit a saloon well, while an estate, MPV or 8-seater handles more — extra suitcases, pushchairs or sports bags included. This kind of journey sees more demand over school holidays and summer, so booking with some notice makes it easier to get the vehicle sized correctly.
Most Newham bookings with us start as an airport transfer, but the same fixed-fare minicab and driver cover plenty more of your travel:
A regular commute or the school run, billed to a business or family account.
A wedding, night out or event transfer, planned to your schedule.
A car kept at your disposal with hourly hire.
A connection on to a cruise port or hotel.
Something sent rather than someone carried, with courier delivery.
Step-free travel in one of our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
