Southend Airport to Coventry Building Society Arena taxi and Coventry Building Society Arena to Southend Airport after the event, fixed fare from £314 each way

Southend Airport to Coventry Building Society Arena and back: fixed fares

The Southend Airport to Coventry Building Society Arena journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Southend Airport to Coventry Building Society Arena is a fixed fare from £314 each way, about 128 miles and 3.0-4.3 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £565, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after match days and arena concerts. An 8-seater for a group is from £455, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls and any London charges where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price after the last encore.

Pick-up in Southend Airport, drop-off at Coventry Building Society Arena

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Southend Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to Coventry Building Society Arena without a queue for the rank. At Coventry Building Society Arena we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for match days and arena concerts when the roads around the venue are closed.

At 128 miles this is a 3.0-4.3 hrs drive in normal conditions. Event-day queues are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.

Coventry Building Society Arena to Southend Airport: the journey home

Coventry Building Society Arena to Southend Airport is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of match days and arena concerts, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Coventry Building Society Arena

For match days and arena concerts we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Southend Airport for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
