Pick-up in Canterbury, drop-off at Longleat
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Canterbury or the Kent towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside.

Allow 3.9-5.5 hrs for the 167-mile drive, more on the day of a big fixture. For a fixed start time we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.

Longleat to Canterbury 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 the safari park and Festival of Light, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Canterbury. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Longleat
For the safari park and Festival of Light 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 Canterbury 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.
