Anna Terrington Sun, 12 May, 23:01 (11 hours ago) to me Hi Anthony and Team, We are on our way back from the three peaks weekend and we just wanted to say what an amazing weekend it has been for us all. Both Simon and Neil from start to finish have been so professional and amazing. Adjusting agendas etc to fit with changes over the weekend. We couldn’t have done the weekend without them. Please pass on our thank you’s they both really do deserve the credit. Many thanks Anna

Excellent, I was a passenger on a booked shearngs tour. The coach was in pristine condition, clean. The driver Diane drove us all without fault and exceedingly safely she is kind and considerate to all the passengers. I highly recommend this company

My friend and I lost a tyre on the very remote Birker Fell while travelling back from a long and demanding walk in the Lake District. We didn’t have a spare and my recovery service couldn’t get a vehicle up there. Instead, they contacted CMAC who managed to find a driver, Torres, from Getaway Travel, who was willing to attend and drive us both back to Preston. He arrived at 02:00 and got us back just after 04:00. Torres was absolutely lovely and we chatted away all the way back while my mate slept in the back. We were just so grateful that he was willing to come out at such an ungodly hour.

Amazing service, we continue to use this company for all our corporate travel needs. Customer service is exceptional and always reliable and on time and drivers couldn't be more helpful. Highly recommended!

They go above and beyond. We have enjoyed several trips out now and cant recommend highly enough. Thank you, greenslades

Recently received return transport for group of 15 from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Great service, Punctual, friendly drivers, good communication prior to arrival. Would Recommend.

Brilliant service for our day at the Races Nice vehicle. Really Clean, On time & Driver Excellent.

Used gateway last year. Excellent all round service. Travelled to Manchester with return collection booking. Highly recommended

Absolutely brilliant service couldn't be more happier the taxi was on time so wasnt waiting around for ages and the driver was polite

Absolutely brilliant service. Will always be number one for airport runs and private hire, 5 stars!!!

Great friendly service, pleased how easy it was with helpful drivers highly recommended

Me and 4 friends booked to be collected from a pub in Ulverston, Mark arrived right on time and took us through to barrow. He played all the music we liked we were laughing and singing the whole way home.

Would just like to congratulate Getaway Travel on their new online booking system. This new online way of booking is fabulous. It's so easy to use, and you receive the quote really quickly. I've just booked two journeys for my family, and I have been impressed with the professionalism and speed of response. Truly seamless. Well done. I will review the actual trip once that has taken place in May 2024. Thank you

Hi Anthony, Just a brief note to say thank you for your company’s excellent service yesterday. Your driver was excellent (please pass on our thanks), the coach was very comfortable, and it all contributed to a fantastic day out for the lads and parents alike. Best, Ali.

Very swift reply for a quote. Easy booking & very professional service.

What a wonderful company, went the extra mile, cant recommend them highly enough, Robbie was a star.

Dear Anthony, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the coach travel last week. We loved the VIP coach ( it's the poshest coach we have ever been on) - and the driver was brilliant. We really enjoyed him telling us some interesting facts about London. Thanks Sarah

Hi John Oska looked after us really well yesterday and just wanted to say thank you. He was brilliant to deal with and the whole group had great fun with him. Thanks again and won't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone looking for coach hire.

We have used Lords travel on a few occasions for airport run. Highly recommended. Very professional. Great service.

As always an impeccable experience from booking to return. This is the second time we have used Marett's Chariots and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Anthony is a delight to deal with and Bruno, who drove us on this occasion was simply superb.

Went to mcarthur Glenn with this company bus was clean and tidy Ian m was very friendly would definitely recommend this company

Paul and his team are just the best. Friendly, welcoming, adaptable, responsive and reliable. We won't use another service. Absolutely spot-on service, we would not use anyone else!

Good afternoon Jackie, I recently hired one of your minibus (for Saturday 18th November) going from Sedgeford to the Thursford show. I would just like to say, on behalf of myself and the other passengers, a very big 'THANK YOU'. The driver Bruno, was on time, polite, courteous and extremely professional. We all commented on the cleanliness and presentation of the minibus (and trust me when I say we have been in some very ropey ones in the past!!) It was good to see that even in these economically difficult times, a company still remembering that good customer service costs nothing, even if petrol etc has gone sky high!! Please could you pass on our comments to your team, but especially to Bruno, who helped to make the evening really enjoyable with his wonderful banter and service. I have gone on to recommend your service to others and should I be in the area, would defiantly hire you again without hesitation. Thank you once again. Wishing you all a merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Yours sincerely Zena
