Common questions about Cheltenham to Southend taxis. More on our FAQ page.
The fare is fixed and shown in the panel above, opening with the saloon and stepping up by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so the number you see at booking is exactly what you pay, however the M25 behaves on the day you travel.
Work to the drive time shown above. The great majority of the route is motorway — the M5, the M4 and the M25 — so outside the peak hours the timing is steady; your driver adds a sensible buffer for the busier stretches of the orbital and the A127 approach.
The usual run is the M5 south to the M4, then east to the M25 and clockwise round the northern side of London to the A127, the Southend Arterial Road, which carries you east into Rochford. The whole drive stays north of the Thames, so there is no Dartford crossing; an experienced driver watches the motorway reports and switches to the A13 near Rayleigh Weir when the arterial is congested.
Yes. We collect from every Cheltenham neighbourhood including Montpellier, Prestbury, Charlton Kings and Leckhampton, as well as the wider GL postcodes such as Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Bishop’s Cleeve and Winchcombe, all on the same fixed-fare basis to Southend.
