Which vehicle for Dover to Reading Festival?
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 £362) or a Mercedes S-Class chauffeur on request; for seven or eight passengers an 8-seater taxi (from £486) or 9-seater minibus (from £511). Every vehicle on the Dover to Reading Festival run is TfL-licensed private hire — a pre-booked minicab with a fixed fare, not a metered cab. See the vehicle size guide for luggage capacity.
Pick-up in Dover, drop-off at Reading Festival
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 Reading Festival we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for the August bank holiday festival when the roads around the venue are closed.
Allow 2.8-4.0 hrs for the 118-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.
Reading Festival to Dover: the journey home
Reading Festival 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 August bank holiday 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.
How much is a taxi from Reading Festival to Dover?
A saloon from Reading Festival to Dover is a fixed £301, the same as the Dover to Reading Festival fare, for about 118 miles. Booked together, both legs cost £542.
Event days at Reading Festival
For the August bank holiday 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.
