Booked the Saloon for £280 from Stansted to Bowland College at Lancaster University for freshers’ week. easyJet flight was delayed 40 minutes but the driver had already adjusted. Arrived door-to-door in under 4.5 hours. So much easier than trying to navigate trains with all my luggage.

Four of us took the MPV 6-Seater for £380 from Stansted to our hotel near Lancaster Castle. Compared to four train tickets each via London Euston it was excellent value. Driver met us in arrivals holding a name board, had us at the hotel in just over 4 hours. Will use again.

Took the Executive for £340 from Stansted to our Airbnb in Lancaster city centre before a walking trip in the Lake District. Driver tracked our Ryanair flight and met us on time. Comfortable, professional, and stress-free. Far better than dragging bags through two train changes.
