Bournemouth Airport to Newbury Racecourse taxi and Newbury Racecourse to Bournemouth Airport after the event, fixed fare from £163 each way

Bournemouth Airport to Newbury Racecourse and back: fixed fares

Bournemouth Airport to Newbury Racecourse is an event-day run our drivers know well. A saloon from Bournemouth Airport to Newbury Racecourse is a fixed fare from £163 each way, about 56 miles and 1.4-2.1 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £293, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after race days and concerts. An 8-seater for a group is from £236, 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 Newbury Racecourse

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 Newbury Racecourse without a queue for the rank. At Newbury Racecourse we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for race days and concerts when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 56 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.

Newbury Racecourse to Bournemouth Airport: the journey home

Newbury Racecourse 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 race days and concerts, 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 Newbury Racecourse

For race days and concerts 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.
