Totals count every traveller at the fare shown; children often travel cheaper or free.

When not to book us: Southend is the one airport on this list where the drive is shorter than the rail journey even on paper. OSRM puts the road at 56.2 km and about 54 minutes free-flow; the train is 64 to 74 minutes with two changes, at Stratford and Canning Town. The rail case is convenience at the start, since the station sits opposite the terminal, and price: £12.80 off-peak, £18.70 at peak. That is cheap for one. For two it is £25.60 off-peak and for three £38.40, each still changing twice with their bags. One person with a backpack should take the train. A couple with luggage, a team, or anyone arriving on an evening flight should price the car, which goes from the terminal to the ExCeL entrance without a platform in between.

Where you meet your driver

  1. London Southend directs drivers collecting passengers to its Express Pick-up and Drop-off, directly opposite the terminal. Your driver will tell you exactly where they are standing when you call.
  2. Your flight is followed, so a late arrival moves the collection time with it. Express pick-up is included as standard; meet and greet with a name board in arrivals is a paid extra.
  3. At ExCeL, the two doors that matter are the West Entrance, beside Custom House, and the East Entrance by Prince Regent, which ExCeL recommends for the ICC. They are about 600 m apart, so pick the one nearest your hall.
  4. ExCeL's page gives a West point (E16 1XL) and an East point (E16 1FR) for drop-off and pick-up, under coaches and minibuses, and does not set out where cars and taxis wait. For WTM London, the organiser's page says the taxi point is at the west end.

Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.

Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.
