The journey, and where we pick up and drop
Pick-up in Reading is at your door, whether that is the town centre, a Berkshire village or a business park; the driver is named the day before and texts on arrival. At the station end we drop at the forecourt on the Strand. Returns are met at the top of the ramp; the West End and Trafalgar Square are a minute away.
The drive is about 42 miles; your driver checks closures and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.
London Charing Cross to Reading: the return leg
London Charing Cross to Reading is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. For an airport or station pick-up we track the flight or train, meet you at the agreed point and include waiting time, 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.
