Getting to Goodwood Festival of Speed
- Venue: Goodwood Estate, near Chichester, West Sussex
- When: Usually July — check the official dates before booking
- Drive from Poole: about 1 hour 45 minutes, before event-day traffic
On the day
The lanes around the estate and the A27 and A285 approaches get very busy on Festival mornings, so we set an early departure and use the organisers' drop-off and pick-up arrangements for the day. We agree a collection time and keep in touch by phone if your plans change.
Who books it
Hospitality guests, car clubs and corporate groups, often in a Mercedes V-Class so everyone travels together. Alongside our own cars we work with partner operators and a network of licensed drivers, so several vehicles for one group is straightforward.

Questions, answered
How much is a chauffeur to Festival of Speed from Poole or Bournemouth?
Festival of Speed is quoted per job, depending on the number of passengers, the cars and whether the driver waits or returns later. Send the details and we reply with a fixed price.
Can the driver wait during the event?
Yes. The driver can wait near Festival of Speed for the day or leave and return for an agreed collection time — whichever works out better for you. We confirm it in the quote.
Can you take a big group?
Yes. A Mercedes V-Class takes up to seven with luggage, and we can send several cars on one booking, timed to arrive at Festival of Speed together.
How long is the journey to Festival of Speed?
Typically about 1 hour 45 minutes from Poole, but Festival of Speed days are busier than usual, so we plan an earlier departure to arrive on time.
