One-Way Transfer
A one-way transfer covers one journey between two addresses: the terminal to a house on the Becontree estate, the airport to a gate at the Ford plant, or a home near Valence Park to Southend Airport for an easyJet holiday. As your flight comes in, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time; for a departure, you set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Round-Trip Service
Round-Trip Service books both directions in one reservation: Southend Airport to a hotel close to the Ford plant on Monday, then from that hotel to the terminal on Friday afternoon once the site visit is over. When your project dates are settled, both rides go into one reservation. With both directions in one booking, the return is secured from the start; you set both pick-up times yourself, and the confirmation lists them.
Hourly Service
Hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one vehicle with you for a set number of hours. When you book, you set the start at SEN, the final address and the hours you need, and you add the day's plan to the reservation so the chauffeur has it before your flight lands. It suits an arrival day with appointments, not a straight run to one hotel.

London Southend Airport to Dagenham: Route and Drive Time

Dagenham is in east London, in the borough of Barking and Dagenham, on the north bank of the Thames; the airport is further east along the estuary, in Essex. The drive is 30 miles, normally 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes, westward across south Essex and into Greater London.

Dagenham has three quite different destinations. The Becontree estate, built between the wars, covers much of the district; Dagenham East grows around its District line station; the riverside is where Ford's plant stands. Say which one you need; the route's final stretch depends on it. Journey times vary with traffic and weather.

Meeting Your Chauffeur at London Southend Airport

Southend's one terminal handles every arrival, from short business hops to summer holiday flights.

From the moment you take off, the chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time. Your booking confirmation tells you where to meet, and the exact spot follows the airport's own pick-up rules.

A train from the airport reaches Liverpool Street in about 52 minutes, but Dagenham's stations are on the District line and the c2c route, not on that line, so going by train involves changing at least once, luggage and all. The car heads west to your address without one.

Arriving at Your Address in Dagenham

Ford has built at Dagenham since 1931. Car assembly ended in 2002, but the riverside plant still produces engines, so a business visit here comes with a gate, a building and a contact name.

Give the exact address when you book, and your confirmation shows where the car will pull up. For the Ford site, name the gate or building where you are expected; on the Becontree estate, the street and house number are enough.

Valence House, a manor house in Valence Park and home to the borough's museum and its archives, is a good landmark for addresses in the middle of the district.

From Dagenham Back to London Southend Airport

Allow 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes for the journey, and add a margin before a morning flight. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

London City Airport is much nearer to Dagenham, so Southend makes sense when your airline or route is only there. There is only one terminal to drive to, so no terminal goes into the booking.

If you are leaving straight after a day at the plant, set the pick-up at the gate where your meeting ends rather than at your hotel.

Dagenham lies 30 miles west of the terminal, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes on a normal day.

Will the chauffeur know if my Southend flight lands early?

Yes. The chauffeur tracks your flight and plans the pick-up around the real landing time, even if you touch down ahead of schedule.

At Southend, where do I go after baggage reclaim?
