starstarstarstarstar
"Flew into Southend from Amsterdam, needed to catch a Brittany Ferries sailing from Portsmouth Continental Ferry Port. Executive car, driver took the M25 then down the M3 and M27 and got me to the ferry terminal 30 minutes before boarding. The fixed price avoided any stress about meters during the journey and the driver knew exactly which entrance to use. This has become my standard way to connect Southend flights with Portsmouth ferries."

"University of Portsmouth student living in Essex. Fly Ryanair into Southend from Faro every holiday. Saloon every time, driver takes the M3/M27, two and a quarter hours door to door. The fixed fare is brilliant on a student budget. My driver even knew the back entrance to my PO1 accommodation to save carrying luggage. I've recommended this to every UoP student from Essex — it's so much easier than the train."

"Family of five back from Malaga via Southend, heading to Portsmouth for a Historic Dockyard weekend break. MPV, plenty of room for bags, driver met us with a name board in arrivals and loaded everything. Down the M3 and across the M27, got us to our hotel near Gunwharf Quays in just over two hours. Split five ways it easily beat five train tickets from Liverpool Street. Driver knew Gunwharf and the Dockyard area perfectly."
