Southend Airport Taxi vs. the Train
Southend Airport has its own railway station with direct trains to London Liverpool Street. However, a fixed-price taxi is often the better choice, especially for groups, families, or anyone heading to destinations not served by the Greater Anglia rail line.
Train from SEN
- The train only goes to London Liverpool Street and stops along the Greater Anglia line, not to your home
- You must pay a separate fare for every person in your group, so costs rise fast for families
- There is very little space for large suitcases or pushchairs on busy commuter trains
- Early morning and late-night train services are limited and may not match your flight times
- There is no direct train service to Basildon, Brentwood, Colchester, or many Essex and East London locations
- You still need another taxi or bus from Liverpool Street to reach your final address in London
- Nobody is there to help carry your bags or assist with young children
Direct Airport Taxi
- We pick you up at your door and take you straight to any address in Essex or East London
- You pay one fixed price with never any extra charges per person in your group
- You pay the fixed price you saw at booking, even if it takes you longer than expected to clear the terminal
- Because our trusted network partners track your flight, your driver adjusts for delays automatically
- Your driver greets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and helps with your bags
- We run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long
- Child seats and booster seats can be added to your booking, and your driver always helps with your bags
