Plymouth to Southend Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Plymouth to Southend taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Plymouth to London Southend Airport cost?
Fares start from £452 in a saloon and rise by vehicle size, with the exact figure shown above before you book. It is an all-in price with no surge and no extras added later, so over the full 273 miles the amount you see is the amount you pay, whatever the traffic on the M5 or the M25 that day.
How long does the Plymouth to Southend Airport journey take?
The drive is around 5 hours and 10 minutes covering roughly 273 miles, most of it on the A38, M5, M4, M25 and A127. Because so much is open motorway the timing is dependable outside the peak hours, and your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the Bristol stretch and the orbital.
What is the best route from Plymouth to Southend Airport?
The standard run is the A38 out of the city to the M5, north to the M4, then east and onto the M25 for the clockwise loop over the northern side of London before the A127 into Rochford. The whole drive stays north of the Thames, so there is no Dartford crossing involved on this leg.
Do you cover Saltash, Ivybridge and Tavistock as well as Plymouth?
Yes. We collect from every Plymouth neighbourhood including Mutley, Peverell, Plympton and Plymstock, as well as the wider PL postcodes such as Saltash, Ivybridge, Tavistock and Torpoint, all on the same fixed-fare basis to Southend.
