Event & venue transfers
Around 19.0 miles door to door, 40 min when the roads are behaving. From £95, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Croydon to Kempton Park Racecourse is £95 in a saloon, £120 in a 6-seat MPV and £130 in an 8-seater. It is about 19.0 miles and 40 min off-peak, or 1h 05m in traffic. The fare is fixed at the moment you book and covers tolls, the driver's waiting time and your luggage.
| Vehicle | Capacity | Fixed fare |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | up to 4 passengers, 2 large cases | from £95 |
| MPV | up to 6 passengers, 4 large cases | from £120 |
| 8-seater | up to 7 passengers, 7 large cases | from £130 |
Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
On the network it is East Croydon (Southern, Thameslink and the Gatwick Express) to Kempton Park (National Rail), plus a 5-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that the station opens for racedays only. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 40 min, or 1h 05m when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. If you are travelling light and early, the train usually wins on price. If you are in a group, carrying anything, or leaving after an event, the car wins on everything else.
The usual line from Croydon is the A23 then the A232 then the A212, then M3 J1 or M25 J12, then A308 Staines Road East at the end. Roughly 19.0 miles, and the timing swings with the hour rather than the route: 40 min clear, 1h 05m loaded.
Any address across Croydon works, CR0, CR2, CR3, CR4, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25 included, at whatever hour the South London traffic is doing its worst.
The main entrance on Staines Road East. Kempton's floodlit evening meetings finish late and the A308 clears quickly, so a booked return beats waiting for a rank. Your driver sends the exact standing point and the registration before they set off, so you are not circling a car park looking for a number plate.
Address: Staines Road East, Sunbury-on-Thames, TW16 5AQ.
Driving yourself to Kempton Park Racecourse means joining the same single-file exit as everyone else, and the car parks empty in one slow wave rather than continuously. Being dropped at the door and collected at an agreed point removes the whole problem.
Gates open well before the first race and the roads in are single-file near the course. Leaving Croydon about 1h 05m ahead of when you want to be through the turnstile is the timing that holds up.
£95 in a saloon, £120 in a 6-seat MPV and £130 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 40 min off-peak. The rail alternative is East Croydon to Kempton Park plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
The main entrance on Staines Road East. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
A 6-seat MPV is £120 and an 8-seater £130. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
The driver waits. We watch venue finish times rather than working to a fixed clock, so a late curtain does not leave you stranded or cost you extra.
Yes, and it is the leg worth booking. The driver is in position before you come out instead of you joining the queue that forms the moment it ends.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
