Getting Around Bushey
Bushey is a town in the borough of Hertsmere, Hertfordshire, just south-east of Watford, with Junctions 4 and 5 of the M1 close by. Watford town centre is 2 miles away, 15–20 minutes by car. The neighbourhood of Bushey Heath, on the boundary with the London Borough of Harrow, holds the highest point of the historic county of Middlesex.

Bushey station has London Overground trains to Euston. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival. For a house in Bushey Heath or a school on the edge of town: Send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop.
A day of school visits, viewings or meetings between Bushey, Watford and Borehamwood can be booked by the hour: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.

Book with your flight number. For an arrival, your chauffeur checks the flight status and times the pick-up to when you actually land, and your booking confirmation shows where to meet the chauffeur. For a departure from Bushey, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: the M1 and the M25 both carry commuter traffic, so leave extra time before a morning flight. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.

If a production team lands at Luton or Heathrow for a shoot, the transport can be set up in one go. When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If cast and crew arrive on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own. For a unit that travels as one, a Sprinter van carries up to 12 people with their bags, and bigger groups go by coach, with up to 56 seats; the vehicle is matched to the load.
If your dates fall in the school holidays, book as soon as they are fixed. Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early for those weeks. If your plans go beyond a standard booking, write to support with the dates, addresses, number of passengers, flights and luggage, and the team will arrange it.
