Before you travel
Good to know about Harwich to Colchester.

The run itself
The Colchester road runs about 50 min–1h 10 from Harwich. Your driver reads the live traffic and, with the sailing tracked, times the pickup to your real arrival.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll — and, where the route applies, the London Congestion Charge and ULEZ — is inside your price.
Where your driver meets you
Your chauffeur waits at the passenger terminal at Harwich with a name board and helps with the luggage before the direct run to Colchester.
The Harwich–Colchester transfer, planned around your sailing
This is a journey decided before you arrive: whether the driver watched the sailing, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is standing at the passenger terminal at Harwich when you come off. On the Colchester run we settle all three in advance — the sailing tracked, the fare from £75 fixed, and a named chauffeur waiting with a board.
Cruise porters at the terminal; ferry luggage self-carried. Reckon on 50 min–1h 10 for the drive, with 15 minutes of complimentary waiting so a slow disembarkation never costs you the car. Every toll, and the London charges where they apply, sits inside the fare — nothing to settle at the kerb.
