Our family transfers include free fitted child seats (infant carrier, toddler, and booster), pushchair space, patient experienced drivers, and generous boot room in estate cars and MPVs. One direct ride, stress completely eliminated.
Every Gatwick Airport to Southend Airport taxi includes our complimentary meet & greet service — your driver waits inside Gatwick's North or South Terminal arrivals hall with a personalised name board, assists with all luggage, and walks you directly to your vehicle. Combined with dual flight monitoring (we track your inbound Gatwick flight AND your outbound Southend flight), the timing is seamless — even if your Gatwick flight lands late. Full Gatwick Airport taxi with luggage assistance at both airports — terminal exit to terminal entrance.
There is no direct public transport link between Gatwick Airport and Southend Airport. The train journey requires a minimum of three changes — typically Gatwick → Victoria or London Bridge → Tube/Walk → Fenchurch Street → c2c to Southend Airport. Total journey time: 2.5–3.5+ hours with luggage through some of London's busiest stations. A taxi from Gatwick to Southend Airport takes just 80–100 minutes direct via the M25 Dartford Crossing, making it the only practical option for passengers with connections to make.
Gatwick Express or Thameslink to Victoria/London Bridge (30–35 min), then Tube or walk to Fenchurch Street (20–30 min), then c2c to Southend Airport (55 min). Total: 2.5–3.5+ hours with at least 3 changes across different London stations. Off-peak tickets cost £30–£50pp. Luggage is extremely awkward across escalators, Tube escalators, and station concourses — especially during rush hour. Early-morning and late-night connections are limited or impossible.
There is no direct bus or coach service between Gatwick Airport and Southend Airport. National Express connects Gatwick to Victoria Coach Station, but there is no onward coach to Southend Airport. Any bus-based journey would require travelling into central London and switching to rail — taking 4+ hours with extremely limited luggage space and multiple changes. Completely unviable for inter-airport connections under any time pressure.
Direct airport-to-airport in ~80–100 mins via the M23/M25/Dartford Crossing/A13/A127 — no train changes, no Tube connections, no central London navigating with suitcases. Full boot space for long-haul luggage, 24/7 availability, meet & greet inside Gatwick arrivals, fixed from £110 (Dartford tolls included). The only practical, reliable, and time-efficient way to transfer between Gatwick and Southend — and when 2+ passengers share, often comparable to per-person train costs.

|---|---|---|---|
| Journey Time | 4+ hours | 2.5–3.5+ hours | 80–100 mins |

Bottom line: Public transport between Gatwick and Southend requires navigating central London, costing 2.5–3.5+ hours and £30–£50 per person. The £110 fixed price taxi Gatwick to Southend Airport takes under 100 minutes, bypasses London completely via the M25, and for 3 passengers sharing works out at just £37 per person — comparable to the train fare but three times faster and completely stress-free. For anyone with a connecting flight, a private transfer Gatwick to Southend Airport is the only realistic option.
