"Flew into Southend from Amsterdam with my family. Needed to get to the Cathedral for a heritage tour that afternoon. Executive car was waiting, driver took the M2 straight through, dropped us right at the Cathedral Gate in 90 minutes. Couldn't have been easier. The kids loved it and there was plenty of room for all our bags."

"University of Kent student, fly into Southend every term. Saloon, always exactly what it says on the tin. Driver drops me straight to my college on the Canterbury campus, knows the site well. The M2 route from Southend is actually brilliant. Fixed price, sorted at booking, nothing to think about on the way home."

"Pilgrim group of six, flew in from Faro. MPV was perfectly comfortable for all of us. Driver was knowledgeable and friendly, took the A2 into Canterbury perfectly. Met us with the name board in arrivals, no fuss at all. Fixed price split six ways was outstanding value. We'd been dreading this transfer but it was the best part of the trip."
