Southend to Harwich Cruise: how this direction works
Arriving into Southend: the flight is tracked before you land, the driver is in arrivals with a name board, and the fare to Harwich Cruise is already settled — £149 for the whole car, agreed before you take off. A delayed bag or a long passport queue changes nothing.
Sailing from Harwich Cruise: pickup in Southend with room for cruise luggage, arriving with time in hand before boarding closes, at a fixed price, £149 for the car.
If you would normally open Uber, Bolt or FreeNow for this journey, the difference is when the price is set: an app quotes at the moment of demand and can surge, while this fare was fixed when you booked and does not rise on the night.
Also included: the free hour of waiting at Southend counts from actual touchdown; cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; child seats are fitted free when you give ages at booking; an executive saloon or chauffeur-driven car can be chosen at booking; and Christmas and New Year supplements are shown in your quote before you book (seasonal fares).
