Harrow to Reading Festival taxi and Reading Festival to Harrow, fixed fare from £128 each way

Harrow to Reading Festival and back: fixed fares

Rushxo covers Harrow to Reading Festival all year, in both directions. A saloon from Harrow to Reading Festival is a fixed fare from £128 each way, about 34 miles and 57-83 min door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £230. An 8-seater for a family or group is from £186, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price at 4am.

Pick-up in Harrow, drop-off at Reading Festival

Pick-up is anywhere in the London Borough of Harrow: your home, a hotel, an office or a station, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At the other end we drop at the official drop-off point at Reading Festival, or the meeting corner we agree for the August bank holiday festival when the roads around the venue are closed. Book the return with it and the driver waits after the final whistle or the encore, so there is no post-event scramble for a car.

The drive is about 34 miles; the driver checks closures and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.

Reading Festival to Harrow: the return leg

Reading Festival to Harrow is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Pick-ups at an airport, station or venue are tracked and met at the agreed point with waiting time included, so a delay never changes the price. Book both legs together and the return is 1.8 times a single; if plans change, one message moves the booking.

Event days: Reading Festival from Harrow

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 Harrow 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.
