Real reviews from customers who've used our Southend Airport taxi service.
starstarstarstarstar
"Flew into Southend from Amsterdam, family of four heading to Chester Zoo for a long weekend. MPV, plenty of room for all our luggage. Driver took the M25 then straight up the M6 and across to Chester. Three and a half hours and we were at the zoo entrance. Fixed price split four ways was far better value than four train tickets from Liverpool Street via Euston. Driver knew the zoo entrance road on Upton-by-Chester Road perfectly. Brilliant service."

"University of Chester student, originally from Southend. Fly back to Southend from Faro every semester. Saloon every time, driver takes the M6 north then across to Chester, about 3.5 hours, drops me at my Parkgate Road campus accommodation. So much easier than the train with all my bags. The fixed fare makes it predictable on a student budget. I've been using this service for two years and recommend it to every UoChester student from Essex."

"Flying back from Malaga via Southend, heading to Chester for a heritage city break. Executive car, driver met me in arrivals and got me to my hotel in the Cathedral Quarter CH1 in just under three and a half hours via the M25 and M6. Immaculate car, professional driver who knew Chester inside out. Honestly the only sensible way to get from Southend to Chester without multiple train changes and lugging bags through London."
