Travel in Style Essex is based on your doorstep — in Laindon, beside Basildon. The home town of the service, and the place every journey begins. Airports, the City, and the West End, conducted personally.
— No. 01 · Private Chauffeur in Basildon
Travel in Style Essex is based in Laindon, on the western edge of Basildon — which makes Basildon not merely an area we cover, but home. There is no travelling-out charge to reach you, no driver despatched from afar. The vehicle is prepared a few minutes from your door.
We serve the whole of the Basildon district — Laindon, Pitsea, Vange, Langdon Hills, and the surrounding villages — with the same standard applied across Essex. Airport transfers and City of London journeys are the most frequently requested, alongside weddings and evening hire.
The A127 and A13 place Basildon within easy reach of London and every major airport. Our chauffeur knows these roads as only a local can — the quick ways and the slow hours, and the margins that keep every journey composed and unhurried.

For Basildon residents commuting to the City — Fenchurch Street, Bank, Canary Wharf — a private transfer is often the more practical option as well as the more pleasant one. No parking to arrange, no platform to stand on. Door to desk, in a vehicle prepared for the journey.
The c2c from Laindon, Basildon and Pitsea is quick into Fenchurch Street — but not at 4am with three suitcases, and not home from Stansted after a late landing. That is where a local chauffeur earns his place. Nights out are covered too: the Towngate Theatre and Festival Leisure Park in town, or the West End, Wembley and the O2 with a fixed fare both ways.
We cover every Basildon postcode — SS13 Pitsea and Bowers Gifford, SS14 the town centre and Kingswood, SS15 Laindon and Lee Chapel, and SS16 Langdon Hills and Vange — with no out-of-area charge. Find us on Google Maps →

"Thank you Jamie for making our airport run extra special! We were going on a 40th birthday trip and all the little extras certainly made it even more memorable. Reliable, punctual and friendly service — would not hesitate to recommend to anyone."

— Basildon · Your Chauffeur
Travel in Style Essex is not a fleet operation. There is one chauffeur: Jamie Gifford, who runs the service from here in Laindon and conducts every journey personally. When you make an enquiry, you speak to Jamie. When you are collected, it is Jamie at the door.
He holds an advanced RoSPA driving qualification, a clean PCO licence, and an enhanced DBS certificate. He drives as he attends to everything else — with composure, without hurry, and with the particular care of someone who takes pride in his work.
"This is home. Half the people I collect in Basildon, I know — and the ones I do not, I treat as though I will see them again next week. Usually I do."
