Getting dropped off

Worth knowing
Long-distance patients come from everywhere for Papworth — our fixed intercity fares replace the four-changes rail version of an anxious day.
Discharge collections
Discharge times slip by hours; we hold the booking open and the driver comes to the ward door when you’re actually ready, with a hand to the car for anyone unsteady.
Private-patient entrances
The private wing usually has its own discreet entrance, away from the main A&E doors — our drivers know which, and set down there rather than the busiest kerb.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and DBS-checked.

The Biomedical Campus loop serves Papworth’s main entrance directly — patient set-down is steps from the atrium doors.
How far ahead should we book?
For ordinary days, 24 hours is comfortable. For major dates at Royal Papworth — finals, festivals, opening weekends — book as soon as you hold tickets; those days sell our fleet out too.
Can you collect a patient being discharged from Royal Papworth?
Yes, and it’s a frequent booking. We keep the pickup flexible because discharge rarely runs to schedule — the driver waits, comes to the door, and helps to the car at no extra charge.
Is the return journey guaranteed?
Yes. The pickup point and time are agreed in advance, the driver tracks the day as it actually unfolds, and waiting on event and appointment bookings is deliberately flexible.
What if my appointment at Royal Papworth overruns?
Nothing happens — the driver waits. Medical bookings carry deliberately flexible waiting time, and the fare agreed at booking does not change with a slow clinic.
