Pick-up in Southend Airport, drop-off at Hickstead
Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Southend Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to Hickstead without a queue for the rank. At Hickstead we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for showjumping weeks when the roads around the venue are closed.
Allow 1.7-2.4 hrs for the 66-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.
Hickstead to Southend Airport: the journey home
Hickstead to Southend Airport 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 showjumping weeks, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
Event days at Hickstead
For showjumping weeks 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 Southend Airport 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.
