Gatwick to Southend Taxi

This route crosses the Thames at Dartford. Northbound uses the tunnels rather than the bridge. The Dart Charge applies between 6am and 10pm and has to be paid by midnight the following day - we handle it, and it is included in the fare we quote you. Nothing extra is collected on the day.

About 1 hour 25 minutes off-peak, nearer 1 hour 54 minutes at busy times. Rayleigh Weir, where the A127 meets the A129, is a long-standing bottleneck and is usually where queues into Southend begin.

62 miles by road, on the M23, M25 and the A127.

The M23 north to Junction 8, anticlockwise round the south-east quadrant of the M25 to Junction 1a, over the Dartford Crossing, then Junctions 31 to 29 and the A127 east past Basildon and Rayleigh.

Yes. Both Gatwick terminals, plus Crawley, Horley and the surrounding area.

We track the flight and move the pickup automatically. Collections at Southend Airport include 60 minutes of free waiting from the moment you land.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
