Day 2 and 8 testing for UK arrivals

trenchwars

Anyone had any experience with any of the providers of the day 2 and 8 testing service for amber list arrivals to the UK? I have a relative arriving back in the UK from Spain and need to book the tests. I had a look on the government website and there is a long list of companies I have never heard of and no way to tell if any of them are any good. It's a shame none of the high-street brands are providing these tests.

Google threw up this comparison website:

I have no idea how trustworthy it is.

It did have Ad in front of the search result which indicates an advert (the website pay Google to be at the top of a search) but it might be helpful.

If they are flying back some airlines like Ryanair are now offering deals on these so may be worth exploring that option.

Not sure what variance you are really expecting? Personally just went for the cheapest one that covered my area (most are national) and weren't marked as sold out after clicking through.

I guess I was worried that they wouldn't deliver the kits in time or wouldn't provide the results in a timely manner. In the end I found that the airport has a testing centre in the terminal so I will go with that. Not the cheapest but the reviews are OK. Thanks for the advice.
