Reading to Coventry Building Society Arena taxi and Coventry Building Society Arena to Reading after the event, fixed fare from £219 each way

Reading to Coventry Building Society Arena and back: fixed fares

The Reading to Coventry Building Society Arena journey is regular event work for us, day and night. A saloon from Reading to Coventry Building Society Arena is a fixed fare from £219 each way, about 83 miles and 2.0-2.9 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £394, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after match days and arena concerts. An 8-seater for a group is from £318, 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 Coventry Building Society Arena

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 Coventry Building Society Arena we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for match days and arena concerts when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 83 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.

Coventry Building Society Arena to Reading: the journey home

Coventry Building Society Arena 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 match days and arena concerts, 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 Coventry Building Society Arena

For match days and arena concerts 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.
