“Arrived exactly on time for our airport transfer to Gatwick and the driver helped with all the suitcases. Much cheaper than Uber, and a comfortable car. I'd definitely recommend.”

“We used Value Cars to Heathrow and back. The communication was superb and our driver Mark was friendly and professional on both the pick-up and drop-off. Highly recommended.”

Basildon taxis & airport transfers
From a quick hop across town to Pitsea, Laindon or Vange, to a 4am run to Stansted, Value Cars has kept Basildon moving for more than 20 years. We are licensed by Basildon Borough Council and on the road 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with local drivers who know whether to take the A127 or cut behind Pipps Hill when the traffic backs up. That local knowledge, and a 4.7-star rating from 2,405+ Google reviews, is why the town keeps calling us back.
Basildon sits between the Essex and London airports, so airport runs are what we do most. Stansted is our nearest, with Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, London City and Southend all regular runs. Every fare is agreed before you travel, your flight is tracked so a delay or an early landing is never your problem, and your driver is there to meet you when you land.
Popular runs from Basildon, every one at a price agreed up front:
Need a cab now? We cover the whole of Basildon and out into the Essex towns around it: the town centre and Eastgate, Pitsea, Laindon and Vange, Fryerns, Lee Chapel and Langdon Hills, plus Wickford, Billericay, Benfleet and Canvey. Licensed drivers, a car close by, and you pay by card or cash, whichever suits.
Travelling as a group? Our 6 and 8-seaters take the family, the cases or the whole night out in one go. Ideal for airport groups who would rather not split across two cars, parties heading to Festival Leisure Park, and days out across Essex and into London.
