Fixed Price — What It Means

A fixed price is not an estimate, a quote or an approximation. When Gatwick Taxi Transfer confirms £20 from Basildon to SEN, that is the charge that appears on your card. Not £20 plus the SEN barrier. Not £20 unless the driver takes a different route. Not £20 before the bank holiday surcharge. £20. That is the price.

SEN Drop-Off Included

The London Southend Airport £8 drop-off charge is pre-settled by Gatwick Taxi Transfer via the registered operator account before the driver leaves Basildon. The driver enters the SEN terminal forecourt and drops at departures kerbside. The Aviation Way retail park — previously used by drivers for free waiting — was closed by SEN in March 2026.
