Bournemouth Airport to Henley Royal Regatta taxi and Henley Royal Regatta to Bournemouth Airport after the event, fixed fare from £205 each way

Bournemouth Airport to Henley Royal Regatta and back: fixed fares

The Bournemouth Airport to Henley Royal Regatta journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Bournemouth Airport to Henley Royal Regatta is a fixed fare from £205 each way, about 76 miles and 1.9-2.7 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £369, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after regatta week. An 8-seater for a group is from £297, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls and any London charges where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price after the last encore.

Pick-up in Bournemouth Airport, drop-off at Henley Royal Regatta

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Bournemouth Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to Henley Royal Regatta without a queue for the rank. At Henley Royal Regatta we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for regatta week when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 76 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.

Henley Royal Regatta to Bournemouth Airport: the journey home

Henley Royal Regatta to Bournemouth Airport 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 regatta week, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Henley Royal Regatta

For regatta week 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 Bournemouth Airport 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.
