Pick-up in Kensington and Chelsea, drop-off at Reading
Pick-up is anywhere in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea: 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 address you give us in Reading: a hotel, the station, an office or a family home, with the driver checking the best route on the day. Coming back, the same fixed fare applies and the driver meets you at the door.
At 39 miles this is a 64-93 min drive in normal conditions. Roadworks and rush hour are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
Reading to Kensington and Chelsea: the return leg
Reading to Kensington and Chelsea 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.
Why book a car from Kensington and Chelsea to Reading rather than the train
Door to door from Kensington and Chelsea with the luggage in the boot, no change at a London terminus, no rail-replacement bus on a Sunday and one price for up to four people in a saloon or eight in a minibus. For business travel the fare is a fixed line on the expense claim; for a family it is usually cheaper than four rail tickets bought on the day.
