Chelmsford Station → West Mersea Questions
Can the quoted price change on the day?
No — the figure confirmed at booking is the figure you pay, whatever the roads do. Charges and tolls for the route are already inside it.
Do you monitor delays to my train?
Yes — pickups are tracked against the real arrival, not the schedule, with generous free waiting included. A late train moves the driver, not the fare.
Is payment cash or card?
Either — pay the driver directly or settle by card; the amount is the fixed quote, exactly as confirmed at booking.
Is the booking flexible?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup, and timing changes are usually no problem — just message us.
