· 286 reviewsI recently used A&B Taxis for an early morning transfer to Southend Airport on Sunday 26th July 2026, with a 4:00am pickup, and I couldn't have been happier with the service. My driver, Mr Bannon, was absolutely fantastic. He arrived bang on time, was incredibly professional, friendly and helpful from start to finish, making the journey completely stress-free.
