Braintree to London City Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Braintree to London City taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Braintree to London City Airport cost?
Your fare is fixed and shown in the price table above, beginning with the saloon and rising by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the price shown above is exactly what you pay, whatever the traffic does on the day.
How long does the Braintree to London City Airport journey take?
Allow roughly the drive time shown above. Most of the route runs on the A120, A12 and A13 dual carriageways, so outside the morning rush the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the busier stretch around Chelmsford.
What is the best route from Braintree to London City Airport?
The usual run is the A120 to the A12 southbound, then the A13 into the Royal Docks and the terminal. When the A12 is congested around Chelmsford, an experienced driver may take the M25 and A13 approach instead to keep the journey flowing.
