Booked the Saloon at £60 to get from my BA arrival at London City to catch an easyJet to Malaga from Southend. Driver was waiting at arrivals with a name board. Smooth A13 run — made my Southend flight with over an hour to spare. Brilliant service.

Used the MPV 6-Seater for a family of five travelling from London City to Southend for a holiday to Faro. All luggage fitted perfectly, driver was professional and the fixed price of £95 was fantastic value for the whole family. No stress at all.

My LCY flight was delayed 30 minutes but the driver tracked it and was still there when I landed. Jumped in the Executive Saloon at £95 and got to Southend with time to spare for my easyJet to Palma. The flight tracking is a brilliant feature.
