Event & venue transfers
Around 22.2 miles door to door, 45 min when the roads are behaving. From £105, locked at booking, with no meter running and no surge applied.
A taxi from Ilford to Brands Hatch is £105 in a saloon, £135 in a 6-seat MPV and £150 in an 8-seater. It is about 22.2 miles and 45 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.

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 Ilford (the Elizabeth line) across to Swanley (National Rail), then a connecting bus at the far end. The catch is that there is no service to the circuit itself, so you end up in a taxi from the station regardless. The taxi is about 45 min, or 1h 05m when the roads are full, but it is one journey rather than three, and nobody stands up for any of it. It is a fair fight on the way there. On the way back, when several thousand people want the same platform, it stops being one.
Out of Ilford (IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, IG6) the driver picks up the A12 then the A118 then the A406, joining M20 J2 or M25 J3, then A20 for the run-in. About 22.2 miles in all - 45 min when it flows, 1h 05m when it does not.
Any address across Ilford works, IG1, IG2, IG3, IG4, IG5, IG6 included, at whatever hour the East London traffic is doing its worst.
The main entrance off the A20, before the paddock barrier. The A20 outside the circuit is single carriageway and queues badly on race Sundays, so an early set-down is worth it. 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: Brands Hatch Circuit, Fawkham, Longfield, DA3 8NG.
Driving yourself to Brands Hatch means joining the same single-file exit as everyone else, and the car parks empty in one slow wave rather than continuously. A drop-off and a booked return sidesteps it entirely.
Gates open well before the first race and the roads in are single-file near the course. Leaving Ilford about 1h 05m ahead of when you want to be through the turnstile is the timing that holds up.
£105 in a saloon, £135 in a 6-seat MPV and £150 in an 8-seater. That is the fixed price, agreed at booking.
Door to door the car is about 45 min off-peak. The rail alternative is Ilford to Swanley plus the walk, which is competitive going out and considerably slower coming back.
The main entrance off the A20, before the paddock barrier. You get the exact point and the registration by text beforehand.
No. The fare is fixed when you book. Traffic, tolls and the hour are our problem, not a line on your bill.
A 6-seat MPV is £135 and an 8-seater £150. Bigger parties travel in several vehicles routed together.
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.
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.
Fares are fixed at booking and shown per vehicle. Distances and journey times are approximate and vary with traffic and the exact pickup address. Page reviewed 25 September 2026.
