Saloon £284, Executive Mercedes/BMW £294, People Carrier £303, 8-Seater £381, 9-Seater £398. Confirmed at booking. Return at the same fixed fare. Zero event-weekend surcharge.

The fare at booking — £284 saloon, £303 MPV, £381 8-seater — is the exact total charged on travel day. No meter, no surge, no event-day premium.
Event-weekend traffic, road closures, demand spikes, post-event surge — none alter the fare. The booking confirmation email is the contract.
The Notting Hill Carnival W11 to Stoke-on-Trent ST1 outbound at £284 and the Stoke-on-Trent ST1 to Notting Hill Carnival W11 return at £284 are charged identically. Book both legs together — essential for event-weekend returns when last-minute taxis disappear.
Event days bring road closures, marshal-managed access, and surge demand. Our chauffeurs know the routes and protocols — included in the fixed fare.
Our chauffeurs know the event access roads and alternatives when main routes are at standstill.
Post-event taxis disappear within minutes. Pre-book outbound + return for a guaranteed car after the event.
An hour of complimentary waiting from your scheduled pickup. Race delays, encore sets, final whistles — all covered.
For ticketed events with scheduled close times, the chauffeur monitors event timing for optimal positioning.
£284 at 4am race-day departure is £284 at midnight post-event return.
Event-day routing, waiting time, fare confirmation, professional chauffeur — all in the fixed fare.
For groups attending Stoke-on-Trent, our minibus options offer significantly better value than two saloons — and the benefit of the entire group travelling together.
