A couple in a saloon or 8 in a van — the same booking, the same fixed price per journey.

The fleet
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. The confirmed price covers the agreed itinerary; extra stops, changes or waiting beyond the allowance may cost more.

Travel notes
Festival traffic management routes cars by ticket colour; we confirm your route the night before and drop at the closest permitted gate.
Festival days start slow on the A40 — leave London by 8:30am for a 1:30 first race, and let lunch happen in hospitality rather than the car.
Hat boxes, morning suits and picnics travel in the boot in perfect order — an estate or MPV keeps race-day dress uncrushed.
Gates, badge classes and one-way rings differ by meeting and by enclosure — your driver arrives briefed on all three for the day you’re attending.
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.
Chauffeur transfers to Cheltenham — Festival week in March and the Gold Cup itself, a long-distance run we make dozens of times each spring. The pattern is the one P5 applies everywhere: a fixed fare agreed before you travel, a driver briefed on this venue specifically, and a return that is planned rather than improvised at the kerb.

From Central London, allow 2h–2h 50 on a typical day — your driver plans around live traffic and the venue’s own calendar. Vehicles run from an everyday saloon to a 8-seat van, so the same booking works for a couple or a whole party.
