Pick-up in Merton, drop-off at Hickstead
Pick-up is anywhere in the London Borough of Merton: 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 Hickstead, or the meeting corner we agree for showjumping weeks 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 37 miles; the driver checks closures and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.
Hickstead to Merton: the return leg
Hickstead to Merton 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: Hickstead from Merton
For showjumping weeks 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 Merton 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.
