You can use both without any problem. It is the same way of say to be in a hurry , to make haste.

Exactly. "Less hurry, more haste" - "Menos apuro, más prisa". - Gekkosan, Jul 11, 2010

Why does any language use different verbs? Variety is the spice of life and each word has it's own little nuance that helps us to express ourselves as we would like.
We have: in a hurry as well as in a rush also have to go,
running late, behind schedule, got to dash as well as many others - all giving the same general meaning but allowing us variety in our speech which is half the fun of speaking
