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 Romford 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.

Romford is a busy market town in north-east London in the borough of Havering, with the Elizabeth line and a lively centre. Stansted is a run up the M11 and London City is close. We collect from any Romford address and quote a fixed fare before you set off.
By road distance, London City is usually the shortest run from Romford, 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, Romford ranks 18th closest to London City out of 64 by road distance — a genuine relative marker, not just a raw mileage figure.
London City — about 11 miles (25–40 min by road); Romford lies to the north-east of it.
Stansted — about 28 miles (45–70 min by road); Romford lies to the south of it.
Southend — about 29 miles (45–70 min by road); Romford lies to the west of it.
Heathrow — about 35 miles (45–70 min by road); Romford lies to the east-north-east of it.
Gatwick — about 40 miles (50–80 min by road); Romford lies to the north-north-east of it.
Luton — about 40 miles (50–75 min by road); Romford lies to the south-east of it.
A minicab is different from a black cab in one important legal respect: it cannot be hailed on the street. Every journey has to be booked in advance — by phone, app or website — and both the vehicle and the driver must hold a separate private hire licence. That is exactly how booking with Airportmove works: you agree the price and the pickup time first, and a licensed driver arrives exactly as arranged, never flagged down on a passing road. In Romford specifically, London City is the closest of the six by road — roughly 11 miles away, with Romford lying to the north-east of it — which is often why local minicab bookings here lean that way, though a fixed-fare car from Romford reaches every London airport just as reliably.
For Romford, the roads are predictably busier on weekday mornings and early evenings, when local commuters and airport traffic both use the main approach roads. Booking an early or late weekday slot is where a little extra time helps most; outside peak hours and on weekends, journeys tend to run more smoothly. Our drivers watch the traffic and adjust the route, not the price.
Your pickup point is confirmed ahead of time, removing any guesswork on the day, and flight tracking on airport journeys means the car adjusts to when you actually land rather than when the schedule says you should. The usual airport steps still apply either side of your drive — check-in and security, or passport control and baggage reclaim — and the included waiting time is there to cover them.
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 Romford 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.
