Portsmouth to Southend Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Portsmouth to Southend taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Portsmouth to London Southend Airport cost?
The fare is fixed and shown in the price 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 the number you pay, whatever the traffic happens to be on the M25 or the Dartford Crossing that day.
How long does the Portsmouth to Southend Airport journey take?
Work to the drive time shown above. The bulk of the run is dual carriageway and motorway along the A3, the M25 and the A127, so away from the rush hours the timing is dependable; your driver adds a sensible cushion for the orbital and the tunnels at Dartford.
What is the best route from Portsmouth to Southend Airport?
The usual line is the A3(M) and A3 north to the M25, then anticlockwise round the southern side to the Dartford Crossing, over the Thames into Essex, and east on the A127 to the terminal at Rochford. When Rayleigh Weir is busy an experienced driver can drop onto the A13 instead to keep the last few miles flowing.
Do you cover Havant, Fareham and Gosport as well as Portsmouth?
Yes. We collect from every part of Portsmouth including Southsea, Fratton, Copnor and Cosham, and across the wider PO postcodes such as Havant, Fareham, Gosport and Waterlooville, all on the same fixed-fare basis through to Southend.
