Durham to Southend Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Durham to Southend taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Durham to London Southend Airport cost?
The fare is fixed and shown in the price panel above, beginning with the saloon and climbing by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing and the airport fee already included, so the number you see at booking is the number you pay, however the A1(M) and M25 behave on the day.
How long does the Durham to Southend Airport journey take?
Allow around the drive time shown above for the near-three-hundred-mile run. The great majority of it is motorway and dual carriageway along the A1(M), the M25 and the A127, so outside the peak hours the timing is dependable, and your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the busier stretches of the orbital.
What route do you take from Durham to Southend Airport?
The standard drive runs the A1(M) south the length of the country to the M25, then clockwise over the northern side of London — staying well north of the Thames, so there is no Dartford Crossing — round to the A127, the Southend Arterial Road, which carries you east through south Essex to the terminal at Rochford.
Do you cover Chester-le-Street, Bishop Auckland and Consett as well as Durham?
Yes. We collect from every Durham neighbourhood including Gilesgate, Neville’s Cross, Framwellgate Moor and Belmont, as well as the wider DH area such as Chester-le-Street, Consett and Stanley, and nearby towns like Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor, all on the same fixed-fare basis to Southend.
