Pick-up in Dover, drop-off at Ashton Gate
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Dover or the Kent towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At Ashton Gate we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Bristol City and Bears match days when the roads around the venue are closed.
The drive is about 197 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.
Ashton Gate to Dover: the journey home
Ashton Gate to Dover 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 Bristol City and Bears match days, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Dover. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
Collection for the trip to Dover can be from any address in Ashton Gate, or from Parson Street station, about 0.7 miles away, if you are coming off a train.
Heading home, the direction of travel is east: Ashton Gate first, Dover at the end.

Event days at Ashton Gate
For Bristol City and Bears 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 Dover 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.
