Here are some tips for hiring minibuses and coaches to pick up passengers from London Southend Airport:

•  Book early, especially if you need vehicles during peak times. There is often high demand for minibuses and coaches around flight arrival and departure times.

 

•  Compare prices from different providers. Rates can vary widely so shop around for the best deal. Make sure you understand what is included (e.g. fuel, parking fees, wait time etc).

 

•  Consider vehicle size carefully depending on your group numbers. Make sure you don’t pay for more seats than you need. But also factor in luggage capacity.

 

•  Check if the provider offers flight tracking. Some will monitor inbound flights and adjust pick-up times if flights are delayed to save you waiting around.

 

•  Agree on designated pick-up points at the airport. Minibuses and coaches cannot access right outside terminal entrances so have a clear meeting point.

 

•  Provide the driver’s mobile number to passengers so they can make contact if needed after landing. Drivers should also have passenger contact details.

 

•  Allow adequate buffer time in your itinerary for potential traffic delays. Build in rest stops for longer coach journeys.

 

•  Have a contingency plan in case of delays/issues e.g. access to a waiting lounge, alternative local transportation options.
