starstarstarstarstar
"Six of us flying into Southend from Malaga, heading to a Six Nations match at the Principality Stadium. Booked the MPV — masses of room. Driver took the M4 all the way, dropped us right at the stadium gates in bang on 3 hours. Fixed price meant no splitting the bill stress. Brilliant service, use it every year now."

"My daughter started at Cardiff University this year. We took the estate car — driver knew the Cathays campus perfectly, loaded everything in, M4 the whole way, easy as anything. The train would have been a nightmare with that much luggage. Already booked for Christmas and Easter. Couldn't recommend more highly."

"Business meeting in Cardiff Bay, flew back from Amsterdam. Saloon cab, driver waiting with a board, straight down the M4 to my hotel by the Millennium Centre. Exactly 3 hours as quoted. Professional driver, clean car, fair price. The fixed fare is a huge deal for expense claims. My permanent Southend taxi."
