Rugby to Portman Road and back: fixed fares
Rugby to Portman Road is an event-day run our drivers know well. A saloon from Rugby to Portman Road is a fixed fare from £297 each way, about 120 miles and 2.9-4.1 hrs door to door.

An 8-seater for a group is from £431, executive cars on request.

Pick-up in Rugby, drop-off at Portman Road
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Rugby or the Warwickshire towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At Portman Road we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Ipswich Town match days when the roads around the venue are closed.
The drive is about 120 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.
Portman Road to Rugby: the journey home
Portman Road to Rugby 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 Ipswich Town match days, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Rugby. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
Event days at Portman Road
For Ipswich Town match days 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 Rugby 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.
