Cardiff Airport to Aintree Racecourse taxi and Aintree Racecourse to Cardiff Airport after the event, fixed fare from £394 each way

Cardiff Airport to Aintree Racecourse and back: fixed fares

Rushxo covers Cardiff Airport to Aintree Racecourse for every fixture and festival, in both directions. A saloon from Cardiff Airport to Aintree Racecourse is a fixed fare from £394 each way, about 166 miles and 3.9-5.5 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £709, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after the Grand National. An 8-seater for a group is from £571, 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 Cardiff Airport, drop-off at Aintree Racecourse

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Cardiff 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 Aintree Racecourse without a queue for the rank. At Aintree Racecourse we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for the Grand National when the roads around the venue are closed.

Allow 3.9-5.5 hrs for the 166-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.

Aintree Racecourse to Cardiff Airport: the journey home

Aintree Racecourse to Cardiff 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 the Grand National, 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 Aintree Racecourse

For the Grand National 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 Cardiff 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.
