Cambridge to Southend Airport Taxi from £139
LondonAirport‑Taxi.com heads down the M11 and across Essex on the A130 instead, arriving at the terminal on one fixed fare.
Available 24/7, 365 days a year. See every Southend fare.
Looking for a reliable Cambridge to Southend Airport taxi? LondonAirport‑Taxi.com picks up across the city — colleges in the centre and along the Backs, Mill Road and Romsey, Chesterton, Trumpington, Cherry Hinton, the Biomedical Campus around Addenbrooke’s and the Science Park out by Cambridge North — on a fare fixed at the point of booking. Southend often gets overlooked from Cambridge because Stansted is so close, but when the flight you want leaves from the Essex coast the drive is straightforward. The car goes south on the M11, cuts across Essex on the A120 and A130, and finishes beside Rochford, with the M25 and A127 kept as a second option.
The station beside Southend’s terminal is genuinely handy if you are already on the Liverpool Street line; from Cambridge it means heading into London first and doubling back. For the return leg, give us the flight number and your driver will watch it land, meet you in arrivals with a name board and wait free for the first hour after touchdown. Child seats are free in MPVs and bigger cars, with a maximum of two per vehicle, and are fitted before the driver sets off. Card, Apple Pay, PayPal and cash are all accepted, and cancellation is free up to 12 hours before pickup.

Cambridge to Southend: Distance, Drive Time & M11 Route
Leaving Cambridge, the driver joins the M11 at Junction 11 by Trumpington or Junction 13 off Madingley Road and heads south past Stansted to Junction 8. From there the A120 runs east towards Braintree, the drive drops south round Chelmsford to the A130, and the A130 carries you past Rettendon to the A127 at the Fairglen Interchange near Rayleigh, a short run from the airport. When the A120 or the Chelmsford stretch is congested, the alternative is to stay on the M11 down to the M25 at Junction 27, go east to Junction 29 and take the A127 past Basildon and Rayleigh.

University Terms and Visiting Academics
At the start and end of term, students and visiting researchers move with a lot of luggage and often at awkward hours. A taxi from a college lodge or a Newnham doorstep straight to Southend avoids hauling cases through Liverpool Street at rush hour.
Biomedical Campus and Science Park Travel
Staff at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and the Science Park regularly fly to meetings in Europe, and a fixed fare with an emailed receipt makes the expense claim straightforward. The driver tracks the return flight, so a late landing is handled without a phone call.
