Real reviews from customers who've used our Southend Airport taxi service.
"Flew in from Faro, needed to get to HMS Drake for a naval visit. Executive car was waiting, driver knew exactly which gate to use at Devonport. The M5 and A38 route was smooth, arrived in 4 hours 30 minutes as promised. Professional driver, clean car, and the fixed price removed all the guesswork. Outstanding service."
"My son started at Plymouth University this September. Estate car, absolutely loaded with stuff. Driver knew Drake Circus campus, loaded everything, M5 all the way. Not one complaint. The alternative would have been an absolute nightmare with trains. Fixed price, family budget sorted, will use every term without question."
"Family holiday to Plymouth Barbican area, five of us flying in from Amsterdam. MPV, lovely comfortable vehicle. Driver was friendly, knew Plymouth Hoe and got us to our harbour hotel perfectly. The fare was everything it said it would be. Best value way to travel Essex to Devon. Highly recommended."
