Pick-up in Southwark, drop-off at Reading Festival
Pick-up is anywhere in the London Borough of Southwark: 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 Reading Festival, or the meeting corner we agree for the August bank holiday festival 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.
Allow 72-104 min for the 45-mile drive. For a fixed start time we build in a buffer and confirm the pick-up time with you.
Reading Festival to Southwark: the return leg
Reading Festival to Southwark 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: Reading Festival from Southwark
For the August bank holiday festival 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 Southwark 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.
