Why book a car from Islington to Southend-on-Sea rather than the train
Door to door from Islington 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.
