Via

Colchester sits on the A12 between London and Ipswich, which makes the journey south straightforward and the journey to Stansted rather less so — the A120 across is the road that decides most of our airport work here.

We run fixed-fare Colchester transfers around the clock, with the price agreed before you book and the tolls and charges already inside it.

Airport transfers from Colchester

Stansted is the usual destination and the A120 is the usual route, an hour or a little more depending on the Braintree stretch. Southend is closer than people expect and worth a look for short-haul.

Pickups anywhere in Colchester

We collect from the town centre hotels, the streets around the castle and the Dutch Quarter, and from the residential areas — Lexden, Mile End, Prettygate, Stanway, Highwoods, Greenstead and out to Wivenhoe, West Mersea and Tiptree.
The garrison is a steady part of the work, and so is the University of Essex out at Wivenhoe Park. For the university, name the residence or car park when you book — the campus is spread out and at the start and end of term the right drop-off point saves a long walk with cases.

Hospital and station runs

Colchester Hospital on Turner Road is a frequent destination, along with the Essex County Hospital site. Tell us the department or entrance when you book. If the journey is a discharge, or the passenger is not steady on their feet, say so and the driver will plan the pickup properly rather than work it out on arrival.
Colchester station — Colchester North, as most people still call it — is busy at both ends of the day with the London Liverpool Street services, and Hythe and Wivenhoe stations see steady university traffic. We cover all of them at any hour.

Local journeys around Colchester

Fixed-fare local work runs to Ipswich, Chelmsford, Clacton, Frinton, Harwich, Braintree and Sudbury, along with Harwich International for the Hook of Holland ferry, Colchester Zoo and the Mercury Theatre.

Roads in and out of Colchester

The A12 is the spine, running south-west to Chelmsford, the M25 and London, and north-east to Ipswich. The A120 heads west towards Braintree and Stansted and east to Harwich. The A133 runs out to Clacton and the coast.
The honest point for airport journeys is the A120 west of Braintree, where the dual carriageway gives way to single carriageway and the pace drops. That stretch is what separates a comfortable Stansted run from a tight one, and it is why we set pickup times from the flight and the day rather than from a mileage table.

What is included in the fare

A single price per vehicle, quoted before you book from the actual distance between your two postcodes. Tolls, the Dartford Crossing where a journey uses it, airport entry, any applicable charges and the first hour of waiting after a flight lands are all inside it. No meter, no per-passenger pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Where a journey uses the crossing, the charge is inside the fare you are quoted rather than added afterwards.

Around 45 miles on the A120 and typically an hour to an hour and a quarter. The single-carriageway stretch west of Braintree is the variable, so we allow for it rather than assuming a clear run.

For short-haul, often. It is around 40 miles via the A12 and A127 and usually quicker to get through than Stansted. We are happy to quote both.

Yes, along with the Essex County Hospital site. Give us the department or entrance when you book, and mention a discharge or limited mobility so the driver can plan the pickup.

Yes, at Wivenhoe Park. Name the residence or car park when booking — the campus is spread out and it makes a real difference with luggage.

Yes, Harwich International on a fixed fare agreed up front. Sailing times are unforgiving, so we set the pickup with proper margin.

Yes, around the clock. Early Stansted departures from here usually mean a pickup between three and four in the morning, and we book them routinely.
