The whole thing runs to about 13 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 35 min off-peak becomes 50 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock. --- ## Where we meet you at ExCeL London The Western or Eastern entrance taxi ranks on Western Gateway. ExCeL is over a kilometre end to end, so it matters whether your hall is at the West or East entrance - tell us the hall number when booking. **Address:** One Western Gateway, Royal Victoria Dock, E16 1XL. --- ## Pickups across Upminster We pick up anywhere in Upminster and the surrounding East London postcodes - RM14. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day. Upminster pickups take in all of RM14. Controlled parking and one-way systems are the driver's problem, not yours - they will text the nearest legal stopping point. --- ## When to leave Doors are usually an hour before the event starts. Allowing 50 min for the drive from Upminster plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night. --- ## Getting back from ExCeL London The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves ExCeL London at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £55 back to Upminster. --- ## What every booking includes - One point of contact if plans change on the day - Luggage carried and loaded - no per-bag charges - A text with the driver's name, photo and registration before pickup - Licensed private hire driver and a fully insured, inspected vehicle - Child seats on request at no extra cost - A fixed price agreed before you travel - no meter, no hidden extras --- ## Upminster to ExCeL London - frequently asked questions How much is a taxi from Upminster to ExCeL London?

ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports. ### My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer? Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one. ### How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule? EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged. ### Do I need ETIAS as well? Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it. EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the [EU Travel to Europe site](https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees) before you travel.
