Where your driver meets you

Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, unless your confirmation says otherwise.

Waiting time. Your driver waits up to 60 minutes from the time your flight actually lands. Give us your flight number and we follow the flight, so a delay to the flight itself will not normally result in waiting charges. Need longer? Tell us and your driver will stay, at £5 per 15 minutes. See our cancellation and waiting policy for full details.

A smaller, quieter airport

Southend is compact, so arrivals and departures are usually quick compared with the larger London airports.

The drive to London

The usual routes are the A127 and the A13. Central London is typically 70 to 100 minutes away, so for a departure, leave plenty of time for traffic in east London and Essex.
