Pick-up in Hackney, drop-off at Portman Road
Pick-up is anywhere in the London Borough of Hackney: your home, a hotel, an office or a station, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At the other end we drop at the official drop-off point at Portman Road, or the meeting corner we agree for Ipswich Town match days when the roads around the venue are closed. Book the return with it and the driver waits after the final whistle or the encore, so there is no post-event scramble for a car.
At 72 miles this is a 1.8-2.6 hrs drive in normal conditions. Roadworks and rush hour are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
Portman Road to Hackney: the return leg
Portman Road to Hackney is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Pick-ups at an airport, station or venue are tracked and met at the agreed point with waiting time included, so a delay never changes the price. Book both legs together and the return is 1.8 times a single; if plans change, one message moves the booking.
Event days: Portman Road from Hackney
For Ipswich Town match days 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 Hackney 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.
