Booked the Executive Saloon for £105 to connect from a British Airways flight at London City to my Ryanair departure at Stansted. Driver was waiting at arrivals with a name board. Smooth run via the A12 and M11 — arrived at Stansted with plenty of time. Will book again for every LCY to STN connection.

My LCY flight was delayed 35 minutes but the driver tracked it and was still there waiting when I landed. Jumped in the Saloon at £70 and made my Jet2 connection at Stansted with time to spare. The fixed price was brilliant — no surge charges despite the wait.

Used the MPV 6-Seater for our team of five flying from London City to Stansted for a Ryanair connection to Barcelona. All luggage fitted easily, the driver was professional and took us directly to the terminal. Corporate invoicing was arranged quickly too. Highly recommended.
