Leeds Bradford Airport to Badminton Horse Trials taxi and Badminton Horse Trials to Leeds Bradford Airport after the event, fixed fare from £438 each way

Leeds Bradford Airport to Badminton Horse Trials and back: fixed fares

The Leeds Bradford Airport to Badminton Horse Trials journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Leeds Bradford Airport to Badminton Horse Trials is a fixed fare from £438 each way, about 187 miles and 4.3-6.2 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £788, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after the horse trials. An 8-seater for a group is from £635, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls and any London charges where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price after the last encore.

Pick-up in Leeds Bradford Airport, drop-off at Badminton Horse Trials

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Leeds Bradford Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to Badminton Horse Trials without a queue for the rank. At Badminton Horse Trials we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for the horse trials when the roads around the venue are closed.

Allow 4.3-6.2 hrs for the 187-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.

Badminton Horse Trials to Leeds Bradford Airport: the journey home

Badminton Horse Trials to Leeds Bradford Airport 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 horse trials, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Badminton Horse Trials

For the horse trials 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 Leeds Bradford Airport 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.
