Pick-up in Luton, drop-off at Cheltenham Racecourse
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Luton or the Bedfordshire towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. 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.
At 81 miles this is a 2.0-2.9 hrs drive in normal conditions. Event-day queues are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
Cheltenham Racecourse to Luton: the journey home
Cheltenham Racecourse to Luton 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 Luton. 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 Luton 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.
