Pick-up in Canterbury, drop-off at Newbury Racecourse
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. 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 119 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 Canterbury: the journey home
Newbury Racecourse 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 race days and concerts, 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.
On the way back you are travelling east, from Newbury Racecourse towards Canterbury.
What does a taxi from Newbury Racecourse to Canterbury cost?

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 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.
