Recognised Excellence
The Award-Winning Best Taxi from Dartford across the QE2 Bridge
Get London Transfer is the 2026 UK Transport Awards Winner for Best SME Transport Provider, awarded by SME News. The award is independent — judged on on-time performance, complaint handling, pricing transparency, driver standards and verified passenger feedback.
The Dartford Crossing isn't a destination in itself — it's the gateway from Kent to Essex. Most of our Dartford passengers crossing the QE2 Bridge are heading to Lakeside Shopping Centre, the Tilbury cruise terminal, Grays town centre, Thurrock services for a car-share collection, or a residential address in Thurrock or Tilbury. The award-winning service covers all of these for a fixed saloon fare — with the .50 Dart Charge already included.
The journey is roughly 10–15 minutes off-peak from a typical Dartford address (DA1–DA18) to the Crossing approach or an Essex-side drop, and 20–40 minutes during weekday peaks when the toll plaza congests. The fare doesn't change either way — that's the point of an award-winning fixed-fare service.
