Basildon University Hospital sits on Nethermayne, about twenty minutes from Billericay and ten from Basildon station, and the journeys to it are rarely casual ones. An appointment you cannot be late for, a relative to visit, someone coming home after a stay — these are the bookings where turning up on time matters most, and they are the ones we take most seriously.
Tell us the entrance or department when you book — A&E, outpatients, the main door — and that is where the driver goes. Booking for a parent or relative works just as well: give us their name and pickup point, and the text-back with the car's colour and registration goes to whichever phone you choose, so they know exactly which car is theirs.
The Runs That Have To Go Right
On Time For Clinic
Pre-book with margin and the driver drops you at the right door — no circling the car parks, no ticket machines, no being late for the consultant.
Visiting, Both Ways
Book the drop-off and the return together — when visiting hours end, your car is already on its way back for you.
Home From A Discharge
Discharges keep their own schedule. Whenever the paperwork is done — mid-afternoon or the middle of the night — ring and a car comes.
Booked By The Family
Book for a parent from your own phone. Every driver is council-licensed and DBS-checked, and the car's details go by text so nobody is guessing.
