Looking for a reliable Southampton to London Southend Airport taxi?

Southampton to Southend Airport Taxi – Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Southampton to Southend taxis. More on our FAQ page.
How much does a taxi from Southampton to London Southend Airport cost?
Your fare is fixed and shown in the price panel above, starting with the saloon and rising by vehicle size. It is an all-in figure with no surge pricing, so whatever the traffic on the M25 or the queue at Dartford that day, the amount you see when you book is the amount you pay.
How long does the Southampton to Southend Airport journey take?
Plan around the drive time shown above. Nearly all of the route is motorway and dual carriageway along the M27, M3, M25 and A127, so outside the peak hours the timing is dependable; your driver builds in a sensible buffer for the orbital and the Dartford Crossing.
What is the best route from Southampton to Southend Airport?
The standard run is the M27 to the M3, north to the M25, then anticlockwise round to the Dartford Crossing and over the Thames into Essex, before the A127 carries you east to Rochford. Southampton sits south of the river, so this Thames crossing is unavoidable; an experienced driver watches the tunnel queues and Rayleigh Weir and can switch to the A13 when it helps.
Do you cover Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford and Totton as well as Southampton?
Yes. We collect from every Southampton district including Portswood, Bitterne, Woolston and Shirley, as well as the wider SO postcodes such as Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Hedge End, Totton and Romsey, all on the same fixed-fare basis across to Southend.
