Pick-up in London Paddington, drop-off at Cheltenham Racecourse
Pick-up is at the Praed Street or Eastbourne Terrace entrance, whichever your train uses, or any London address you give us; the driver is named the day before and texts on arrival. 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 99 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 London Paddington: the journey home
Cheltenham Racecourse to London Paddington 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 London Paddington. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
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 London Paddington 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.
