Chauffeur Services in Exmouth

All of it hangs on the A376. Every morning the road takes commuters into Exeter, through summer it takes holiday traffic, and each evening the whole town comes home along it, with no parallel route worth the name. A hold-up at Clyst St George or on the Topsham approach has simply nowhere to go. So departure times get worked backwards from the far end of the day, and where a flight is involved we treat the estuary road, not the motorway beyond it, as the stretch most likely to cost us.

The seafront keeps habits of its own. Through summer, parking along the Esplanade is gone by late morning, the roads down to the beach back up on hot afternoons, and events on the front shut sections off at short notice. Dropping you at the door and returning at an agreed hour causes far less bother than anything else. For a first flight out of Bristol we would leave Exmouth around two and a half hours ahead, and earlier still in August.

On a long journey, Britain's weather does more damage than its traffic ever will. Winter afternoons close in early, and that matters a great deal when the final leg is a single-track road. Highland and moorland routes can run substantially longer than any summer estimate suggests. Those allowances go into the timings from the start, rather than being discovered together halfway up a glen. Where a departure hour makes the schedule uncomfortable, we propose a better one.

Demand tracks the calendar closely. Bank holiday weekends fill fast, so do the weeks either side of Christmas, the summer wedding season and those university terms that all begin and end together. The further from London a journey runs, the sooner a car wants committing to it. Midweek travel in the shoulder months, by contrast, is the easiest thing in the world to arrange.
