Britain's oldest recorded town deserves a chauffeur service that treats its journeys with proportionate care. Private transfers from Colchester to airports, London, and the occasions that mark a life.
— No. 01 · Private Chauffeur in Colchester
Britain's oldest recorded town is also one of Essex's most prosperous — with a significant business community, a growing technology sector, and a residential population that values quality. Travel in Style Essex serves Colchester and its environs with the same standard applied across the county.
From Lexden to Mile End, Stanway to East Bergholt, we collect from any Colchester address with the same considered attention. The route to Stansted is direct — typically one hour from the town centre — and transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, and London City are each planned specifically against your departure time.
Colchester's railway connections make it a significant commuter hub, but for those who prefer not to change at Stratford or navigate the Central Line with luggage, a private transfer to London or the airport offers an alternative of entirely different character.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class in Notting Hill, London · Travel in Style Essex
The Mercedes-Benz V-Class accommodates seven passengers with luggage — the natural choice for family departures and group travel. The S-Class serves those who require executive composure and discretion. Both vehicles are maintained personally by Jamie Gifford and presented to a single standard.
Colchester has a rich cultural calendar — the Mercury Theatre, Firstsite gallery, and significant private venues host events throughout the year. Evening transfers to London's West End and return journeys from late-night engagements are a regular part of our service.

— No. 05 · From Those Who Have Travelled With Us
"I booked as a 60th birthday treat for my husband — Thailand for Christmas and his birthday. I wanted him to arrive in style, and that is exactly what happened. Jamie loaded our bags, gave us a tour of all the facilities, and a gorgeous bottle of bubbly was on ice waiting for us. Chatty but not intrusive. Polite and funny. Very professional."

"Reliable, punctual and friendly service. We were going on a 40th birthday trip and all the little extras certainly made it even more memorable. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. First class service."

— Colchester · Your Chauffeur
Travel in Style Essex is not a fleet operation. There is one chauffeur: Jamie Gifford, who founded the service in 2019 and has conducted every journey personally since. 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 a 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.
"The standard I hold myself to is simple: I ask whether I would be comfortable if the people I most respect could see exactly what I was doing and why. The answer is always yes."
