Taxi to Southend Airport from Welwyn & Hatfield
Just under an hour from Welwyn Garden City to London Southend on clear roads, with a fixed fare and flight tracking included.
We accept all major cards and digital payment methods.
Out to the Essex coast
London Southend is a smaller airport near the Essex coast. Allow about 56 minutes from Welwyn Garden City when the roads are quiet, and roughly 54 from Hatfield. Most of the drive is on the M25 heading east before turning off towards Southend, so motorway traffic is the main thing we plan around.
Because it is less than an hour each way, a Southend transfer is an easy one to arrange alongside your flight. Give us both dates and times and we will price the outbound and return together, fixed before you travel and unaffected by anything the M25 does on the day.
Arriving back late in the evening is no problem, as we operate around the clock. We track your inbound flight, so delays do not cost you extra. Drivers are licensed for private hire with enhanced DBS checks, cars are plated and insured for private hire, and every fare is paid by card.
