The route
From Colchester (CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4) the natural line out is the A12 and the A120, joining A14 then A1134 East Road for the last part of the journey. That is about 64 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 15m off-peak becomes 1h 35m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at Cambridge Corn Exchange
Corn Exchange Street or the Downing Street end, outside the pedestrian core. Cambridge city centre is closed to through traffic by rising bollards, so the nearest legal pickup is Corn Exchange Street.

Pickups cover the whole of Colchester and the CO1, CO2, CO3, CO4 districts across Essex. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.
Colchester sits on the A12, A120 corridor, which is what makes this journey predictable rather than a gamble on the day.

EES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
