Pick-up in Basildon, drop-off at Boomtown Fair
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Basildon or the Essex towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At Boomtown Fair we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for the festival on the Matterley Estate when the roads around the venue are closed.
Allow 2.3-3.3 hrs for the 96-mile drive, more on the day of a big fixture. For a fixed start time we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.
Boomtown Fair to Basildon: the journey home
Boomtown Fair to Basildon is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of the festival on the Matterley Estate, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Basildon. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
Event days at Boomtown Fair
For the festival on the Matterley Estate we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Basildon for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
