Pick-up in Cardiff, drop-off at Aintree Racecourse
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Cardiff or the Cardiff towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. 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 3.7-5.3 hrs for the 159-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: the journey home
Aintree Racecourse to Cardiff 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; the driver takes you back to your door in Cardiff. 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 south, from Aintree Racecourse towards Cardiff.
What does a taxi from Aintree Racecourse to Cardiff cost?

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 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.
