Pick-up in Dover, drop-off at Cheltenham Racecourse
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 Cheltenham Racecourse we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for the Cheltenham Festival when the roads around the venue are closed.
The drive is about 179 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.
Cheltenham Racecourse to Dover: the journey home
Cheltenham Racecourse 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 the Cheltenham Festival, 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.
On the way back you are travelling east, from Cheltenham Racecourse towards Dover.
What does a taxi from Cheltenham Racecourse to Dover cost?
A saloon from Cheltenham Racecourse to Dover is a fixed £421, the same as the Dover to Cheltenham Racecourse fare, for about 179 miles. Booked together, both legs cost £758.
Event days at Cheltenham Racecourse
For the Cheltenham Festival 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.
