Most passengers on this route book a saloon; families and groups with luggage take the 7-seater MPV taxi; for business travel the executive chauffeur car (Mercedes E-Class, from £461) or a Mercedes S-Class chauffeur on request; for seven or eight passengers an 8-seater taxi (from £628) or 9-seater minibus (from £660).

Pick-up in Doncaster, drop-off at Portman Road
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Doncaster or the South Yorkshire towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At Portman Road we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Ipswich Town match days when the roads around the venue are closed.
The drive is about 160 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.
Portman Road to Doncaster: the journey home
Portman Road to Doncaster 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 Ipswich Town match days, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Doncaster. 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 north-west, from Portman Road towards Doncaster.
What does a taxi from Portman Road to Doncaster cost?
A saloon from Portman Road to Doncaster is a fixed £379, the same as the fare, for about 160 miles. Booked together, both legs cost £682.
Event days at Portman Road
For Ipswich Town match days 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 Doncaster 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.
