Pick-up in Southend Airport, drop-off at Portman Road
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 Portman Road without a queue for the rank. At Portman Road we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Ipswich Town match days when the roads around the venue are closed.
At 44 miles this is a 70-102 min drive in normal conditions. Event-day queues are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
Portman Road to Southend Airport: the journey home
Portman Road 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 Ipswich Town match days, 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 Portman Road
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 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.
