starstarstarstarstar
"Cheltenham Festival race-goer, Group of four from Rayleigh. We fly easyJet from Southend to Malaga every March, return in time for Festival week. This year we booked the MPV from arrivals. Driver M25, M4, M5, off at Junction 10, A4019 into Cheltenham and straight to Prestbury Park GL50 4SH. Two hours forty-five minutes from Southend arrivals to the main entrance gate. He knew to avoid Evesham Road on Gold Cup day and came in via New Barn Lane. Tried the train once — Liverpool Street, Paddington, Cheltenham. Changed twice, standing room only from Paddington, took three hours. Never again. The MPV is the only way for race week."

"Cheltenham Literature Festival visitor, flew Ryanair from Southend to Amsterdam. Executive car from Southend arrivals, driver M25, M4, M5 Junction 10, A4019 and dropped me at my hotel on the Promenade GL50 1AX. Two hours forty minutes. He knew the Promenade drop is better from Montpellier Walk than the north end. The Literature Festival has so many venues across the Regency centre and he knew all of them. Checked the train — Liverpool Street, Paddington, Cheltenham Spa. Two and three-quarter hours then a walk from the station. The taxi was door to door and I arrived fresh for the evening events. Absolutely recommend for festival visitors."

"Gloucestershire resident returning from Faro via Southend. Estate for my wife and I plus luggage. Driver took the M25, M4, M5 and off at Junction 10, A4019 into Cheltenham and directly to our home in Bishops Cleeve GL52. Two hours fifty minutes from Southend arrivals to our front door. He knew Bishops Cleeve and arrived without any navigation help from me. Compared the train — Liverpool Street, Paddington, Cheltenham, then a taxi from Cheltenham station to Bishops Cleeve. That's four legs of travel. The estate taxi is door to door and costs less than two train tickets plus the Bishops Cleeve taxi. Use this every time now."
