Getting Around Witham
Witham is a town in the Braintree district of Essex, between Chelmsford and Colchester. The A12 passes along its edge, so the town is well placed for trips south towards London and north towards Colchester and the Suffolk coast. The crime writer Dorothy L. Sayers lived on Newland Street, and a statue of her stands in the town.
Witham station is on the Great Eastern Main Line, with trains to London Liverpool Street, and it is also where the branch line to Braintree begins. Add the train and its arrival time to the booking, and the car is scheduled for that arrival.
For a unit on an industrial estate or a house on one of the newer estates north of the station, send the full address with your booking; the confirmation then tells you where the car will stop.
When a day takes in a supplier in Witham, a meeting in Chelmsford and a site visit in Hatfield Peverel, use an hourly booking: one chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the time you reserve.

Book with your flight number. On the way back, 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 Witham, what counts is the length of the drive, not the time on the clock: the A12 towards the M25 can be slow at peak times, and Heathrow is a long run round the motorway. Journey times vary with traffic and weather. You set the pick-up time yourself, and the confirmation shows it.
Long-Distance & Day-Trip Travel from Witham
The village of Hatfield Peverel is 3 miles away, 15–20 minutes, and Chelmsford, the county town, is 9 miles down the A12, 25–35 minutes.
Harwich, for the Stena Line ferry to Hook of Holland, is 34 miles, 1 hour to 1 hour 25 minutes; travelling with the car, the bags go straight from your door to the port. Cambridge is 50 miles, 1 hour 25 minutes to 2 hours.

Groups & Event Travel in Witham
Imagine a party of Dutch visitors arriving at Harwich on the ferry and spending a week touring mid-Essex from a base in Witham. For a group like that, 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, including bikes and large suitcases.
When you book for other people, all their transfers can be kept in one account, each with its own booking and confirmation. If part of the group flies instead, on several flights, every arrival gets a transfer of its own.
Local vehicles and drivers are booked up early in the summer holidays and around Easter. 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.
