Reading to Alton Towers taxi and Alton Towers to Reading after the event, fixed fare from £318 each way

Reading to Alton Towers and back: fixed fares

Rushxo covers Reading to Alton Towers for every fixture and festival, in both directions. A saloon from Reading to Alton Towers is a fixed fare from £318 each way, about 130 miles and 3.1-4.4 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £572, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after park days and the hotels. An 8-seater for a group is from £461, 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 Reading, drop-off at Alton Towers

Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Reading or the Berkshire towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At Alton Towers we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for park days and the hotels when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 130 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.

Alton Towers to Reading: the journey home

Alton Towers to Reading 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 park days and the hotels, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Reading. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Alton Towers

For park days and the hotels 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 Reading 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.
