Per vehicle, not per person. Tolls, congestion and crossing charges are already inside the price, and it does not change on the day.
By rail you would go East Croydon (Southern, Thameslink and the Gatwick Express) across to Esher (National Rail), then a 8-minute walk at the far end. The catch is that it is a short walk but a thin evening service. A car does the whole thing door to door in about 35 min, or 55 min when the roads are full - and it does it with your bags in the boot. Two people with hand luggage should take the train. Three or more, or anyone with a case, and the fixed fare splits better than the tickets do.
From the CR0, CR2, CR3, CR4, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25 streets the route runs via the A23 then the A232 then the A212, finishing on M25 J10, then A3 and A307 Portsmouth Road. That is about 16.0 miles. Reckon 35 min off-peak and 55 min if you are crossing town at the wrong moment.
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 Portsmouth Road main entrance. The A307 outside the course backs up for half an hour after the last race, so drivers hold in the car park until you are ready. 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: Portsmouth Road, Esher, KT10 9AJ.
Driving yourself to Sandown 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 55 min ahead of when you want to be through the turnstile is the timing that holds up.
£85 in a saloon, £105 in a 6-seat MPV and £115 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 35 min off-peak. The rail alternative is East Croydon to Esher plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
