Pick-up in Southend-on-Sea, drop-off at Portman Road
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Southend-on-Sea or the Essex towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. 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.
Allow 73-106 min for the 46-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.
Portman Road to Southend-on-Sea: the journey home
Portman Road to Southend-on-Sea 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; the driver takes you back to your door in Southend-on-Sea. 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-on-Sea 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.
