starstarstarstarstar
"Back from Amsterdam, landed at Southend. The A12 run up to Colchester was completely smooth, driver was professional and quiet. Dropped me right at Wivenhoe Park campus entrance, not just the main gate. 35 minutes was spot on. The fixed price made it a no-brainer versus the train with all my luggage. Will use every term without a second thought."

"Military transfer, Colchester Garrison. Late flight in from Malaga, they tracked it and had the car waiting. Executive saloon, suited up and ready. Driver took us straight to Military Road gate, CO2, no fuss. This is now the only way I do this journey. Quick, clean, and the fixed price makes it dead simple on the expenses."

"MPV for a group of five, flew into Southend from Faro, heading to a family weekend in Colchester near the castle. Driver was waiting with name board, loaded everything up, and we were at our holiday cottage near Colchester High Street within half an hour. The A12 is genuinely fast for this route. Split five ways, the price was brilliant value."
