starstarstarstarstar
"Flew into Southend from Amsterdam, needed to be at a client office in Chelmsford city centre by 9am. Executive car, driver took the A12 all the way, no fuss. We were there in under 30 minutes. Brilliant for this sort of intra-Essex business run. Fixed price on the expenses, clean car, professional driver. Will use every time I fly into Southend."

"Anglia Ruskin student, fly Southend to Malaga for holidays. Saloon every time, driver knows exactly where the campus entrance is in CM1. The A12 is quick and direct — 30 minutes and I'm at my accommodation. Much easier than lugging bags on the train and then getting a separate taxi from Chelmsford Station. Highly recommend."

"MPV for our family of five, landed at Southend from Faro with loads of bags. Driver was waiting with the name board, the A12 was smooth and we pulled up outside our home near Great Baddow in well under 40 minutes. The split across five people made it genuinely good value. Much less stressful than any of the alternatives. Would book again without hesitation."
