Saloon £119, Executive Mercedes/BMW £136, People Carrier £138, 8-Seater £147, 9-Seater £151. Confirmed at booking. Return at the same fixed fare. Zero event-weekend surcharge.
From the discreet saloon to the executive Mercedes and 9-seat minibus for groups, every vehicle is professionally maintained and TfL-licensed.
The most requested vehicle on this route. Ideal for individuals, couples and small groups attending St James's.
Latest Mercedes-Benz E-Class or BMW 5 Series. Suited chauffeur. The hospitality choice for VIP guests.
Large MPV for six passengers. £23 per head — more economical than two saloons for an event-day group.
Spacious 8-seat minibus. £21 per head — most economical group option.
Full-capacity 9-seat minibus. £18 per head for eight.
The fare at booking — £119 saloon, £138 MPV, £147 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 Royal Ascot SL5 to St James's SW1 outbound at £119 and the St James's SW1 to Royal Ascot SL5 return at £119 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.
£119 at 4am race-day departure is £119 at midnight post-event return.
Event-day routing, waiting time, fare confirmation, professional chauffeur — all in the fixed fare.
For groups attending St James's, our minibus options offer significantly better value than two saloons — and the benefit of the entire group travelling together.
