  • When: Usually mid-June — check the official dates before booking
  • Drive from Poole: about 1 hour 45 minutes, before event-day traffic

On the day

Ascot's roads fill well before the Royal Procession, so we build in time on the M3 and approach roads and use the course's drop-off arrangements. The driver keeps in touch for the collection after racing finishes.

Who books it

Couples and groups in morning dress, and corporate hospitality guests, often in the S-Class or V-Class. 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 Royal Ascot from Poole or Bournemouth?

Royal Ascot 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 Royal Ascot 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 Royal Ascot together.

How long is the journey to Royal Ascot?

Typically about 1 hour 45 minutes from Poole, but Royal Ascot days are busier than usual, so we plan an earlier departure to arrive on time.

Where do you collect from?

For Royal Ascot, anywhere in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Sandbanks, Wimborne, Ferndown and the surrounding area, and from hotels. Call 01202 028334 for anywhere else in Dorset or Hampshire.

Can my company pay by invoice?

Yes. Businesses can book Royal Ascot trips on a corporate account with monthly invoicing, and travel companies and agencies can work with us on a trade account.
