Pre-booked, fixed-fare cars to Epsom Downs for the Derby, the Oaks and every race day — collected from your door, dropped close to the gate, and a driver arranged for the exit when the Downs empty at once. No Derby-Day crawl, no parking hunt, no rideshare surge. Read the Epsom guide for everything else.
Epsom Downs sits about 16 miles south of central London on the Surrey downs, off the A24 and M25. A pre-booked, door-to-gate car — with the pickup arranged for the exit — is the calmest way to do Derby Day.
Two for a quiet trip or a minibus for the syndicate and the picnic — every vehicle is TfL-licensed and available 24/7. Fares fixed at booking.
Comfortable saloon — ideal for couples and pairs heading to the races.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series with a suited chauffeur for hospitality guests.
Mercedes V-Class or similar — the group together with the bags.
Minibus for the syndicate — everyone together, one fixed fare, one pickup at the exit.
Derby Day should not start with the lanes around the Downs at a standstill and end with a surge-priced ride home. With Rushxo, the price confirmed when you book is the exact total you pay — no meter, no surge, no fare that climbs because demand does. Your driver drops near the gate and is there when you are ready.
We collect from any UK address — a London home, a hotel or an airport — for the Derby Festival and every Epsom fixture. Book a same-day return from around £125 and we hold your driver for the run home. And because fuel prices swing with global events and geopolitical shocks, locking the fare at booking protects you from that too.
Door-to-gate, fixed fare, day or night — for the big festivals and every race day at Epsom.

The things that make a race day a slog — and how a fixed-fare car solves each one.
Crowds arrive in a tight window. We use the traffic routing and aim for the closest permitted set-down.
The worst part of the day. Your pickup point and driver are arranged in advance, so a car is waiting, not a queue.
The local stations are heaving on Derby Day and mean a walk up to the track. A car runs door-to-gate in one go.
One MPV or minibus carries the party together, at one fixed fare — cheaper per head than several cars.
Apps spike exactly when everyone leaves. Your Rushxo fare is fixed at booking and never moves.
Official parking must be pre-booked and still means a long walk and a longer exit. We are your parking — dropped at the gate.
