Pick-up in Watford, drop-off at Donington Park
Pick-up is at your door anywhere in Watford or the Hertfordshire towns and villages around it, with the driver named the day before and a text when the car is outside. At Donington Park we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Download Festival and race meetings when the roads around the venue are closed.
At 105 miles this is a 2.5-3.6 hrs drive in normal conditions. Event-day queues are the driver’s problem, not yours: the fare is fixed either way.
Donington Park to Watford: the journey home
Donington Park to Watford 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 Download Festival and race meetings, however late it runs; the driver takes you back to your door in Watford. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.
Event days at Donington Park
For Download Festival and race meetings 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 Watford 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.
