01 / THE OPENGetting to Royal St George’s
An Open at Royal St George’s brings huge crowds to a small corner of east Kent, and the approach roads and park-and-rides get very busy. A pre-booked fixed-price car takes you as close to the entrance as access allows and collects you after, avoiding the parking scramble — and because we’re a local Kent operator, the driver knows the quickest way in and out around Sandwich.
02 / STAYINGAccommodation transfers during the week
Many visitors stay across east Kent — Sandwich, Deal, Canterbury, the coast — and need reliable daily transfers to and from the course. We set up fixed-price runs to suit your schedule for the week, so you’re not driving after a long day or relying on the park-and-ride, and golf parties can travel together in an MPV or minibus.
OPT / OPTIONSGetting there — the honest options
Drive yourself
Pros: Flexible on timing.
Cons: Someone stays sober all day; event parking and long exit queues; dressed-up and stuck in a field car park at the end.
Train
Pros: Avoids the traffic on the popular routes.
Cons: Crowded on event days; a shuttle or walk at the far end; awkward in formal dress or heels; not door-to-door.
Chauffeur / executive car (Rushxo)
Pros: Door-to-door in an executive car; a fixed price agreed in advance; nobody has to drive or stay sober; the driver handles parking and drop-off; travel in comfort in your finery; groups kept together.
Cons: Dearer than the train per head — but for an occasion, the comfort and convenience usually justify it, and a group splits the fare.
