Pick-up in Hackney, drop-off at Southend-on-Sea
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 address you give us in Southend-on-Sea: a hotel, the station, an office or a family home, with the driver checking the best route on the day. Coming back, the same fixed fare applies and the driver meets you at the door.
The drive is about 38 miles; the driver checks closures and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.
Southend-on-Sea to Hackney: the return leg
Southend-on-Sea 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.
Why book a car from Hackney to Southend-on-Sea rather than the train
Door to door from Hackney with the luggage in the boot, no change at a London terminus, no rail-replacement bus on a Sunday and one price for up to four people in a saloon or eight in a minibus. For business travel the fare is a fixed line on the expense claim; for a family it is usually cheaper than four rail tickets bought on the day.
