The route runs north on the A21 and M25, across the Dartford Crossing and into Essex on the A127 – about 55 miles. The Dartford Crossing is the pinch point, so for departures your driver agrees a pickup time with a proper buffer for the bridge and tunnel traffic. We track your flight for the return pickup.
There is no sensible train route from Tunbridge Wells to Southend Airport – it means crossing London and changing, at well over two and a half hours with bags, and the first trains are too late for the earliest check-ins. Driving yourself means airport parking on top of the crossing charges. The taxi is door to terminal, at a fare fixed before you go.
Travelling as a group? The MPV and 8-seater minibus fares are in the table above, and we also run 10, 12 and 16-seater minibuses for larger parties – one vehicle, one fixed fare, everyone together. Book the return journey at the same time as the outward one and both ends are sorted: your driver will be at the agreed point at the agreed time, and if your plans shift on the day, call us and we will do our best to adjust. Regular travellers on this route – weekly commuters, hospital visitors, students – can set up a standing booking so the same run is confirmed every time without re-booking.
