Performance & Prestige has no depot, branch or rental counter in Essex and holds no premises there. Every hire is delivered to an address you choose and collected from it afterwards.

Essex is one of the strongest markets in the country for this kind of car and one of the worst served by the old forecourt model. We deliver into Chigwell, Loughton, Buckhurst Hill and Woodford, out to Brentwood, Ingatestone, Billericay and Chelmsford, and on to Colchester, Dedham and the estuary. Most addresses in the west of the county have gated or in-and-out drives, which makes for a quick, private handover with nothing happening at the kerb. There is nothing to collect and nowhere to travel to - we hold no premises in Essex, and the car is brought to the address you name.

Typical delivery: Two things decide the window here. The first is which part of the county you are in, because the M11 and A12 corridors behave nothing like the lanes out towards the Dengie and the estuary. The second is the drive itself: an in-and-out frontage is straightforward, a shared parking area on a narrow road is not. Where a route uses the Dartford Crossing we settle that side of it beforehand. We agree the window with you first, a person confirms it, and only then is anything committed.

West Essex addresses usually have gated or in-and-out drives, which is the fastest and most discreet handover we do, and a transporter can generally set down outside without blocking the road. Out towards the coast the picture changes: the lanes are narrower, the verges are soft enough to drop a wheel into after rain, and several field gateways are built to a width that suits a tractor rather than a wide car. There we drive the last stretch and hand over on made ground. Send a photograph of your entrance if you are not sure it will take a long car.
