Where we pick up in Peterborough
We collect anywhere in Peterborough and across Peterborough. Groups most often start at Trent University, Peterborough Square, Lansdowne Place. Multiple pickups on the way out are fine — the first is included and extra stops are quoted with the trip. A single pickup point is faster for everyone, but a second one across town usually beats thirty people driving themselves.

The driver stays with the vehicle, so bags and coats can be left on board all day. Departure times are yours to set — these are the ones groups pick most often.
