“Flew into London City from Amsterdam with my husband for a weekend at Southend. The driver was waiting at arrivals and took us straight to our seafront hotel in under an hour. £55 fixed fare — so much easier than the train with our luggage. Brilliant start to a lovely weekend.”

“6-seater MPV for a family day out — two adults, three kids, and a pushchair. All in one car, child seat already fitted when we arrived. Driver dropped us right at Adventure Island entrance. Arrived in 50 minutes. Kids were thrilled. Will book again for our summer Southend trip.”
