Pick-up in Bedford, drop-off at Hickstead
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Bedford or the Bedfordshire towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At Hickstead we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for showjumping weeks when the roads around the venue are closed.
The drive is about 95 miles; the driver checks closures and event-day traffic orders and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.
Hickstead to Bedford: the journey home
Hickstead to Bedford is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of showjumping weeks, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Bedford. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
Event days at Hickstead
For showjumping weeks we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Bedford for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
