Days out

Chauffeur days out from Poole and Bournemouth

A New Forest lunch, Highcliffe Castle, a harbour afternoon, a show in London or a match at Wembley. The car takes you, waits while you enjoy the day and brings you home — nobody has to drive.

  • Red Funnel, Isle of Wight £90
  • Twickenham £170
  • Wembley £235

What's included

  • Your stops, your times

    Tell us the first pickup, every stop and when you want collecting. The day runs to your plan, not an app's.

  • The car waits

    Your driver waits nearby while you have lunch, walk or look round the castle — no hunting for a taxi in a village with no rank.

  • One price for the day

    Priced on the hours and the stops and agreed before the day. Not a meter running while you eat.

  • Everyone can relax

    No designated driver and no parking to find. Have the glass of wine at lunch — we drive home.

  • Child seats free

    Bringing the children or grandchildren? Every type of child seat is fitted free — tell us the ages.

  • Comfortable cars

    Estate, executive, a family-sized small MPV, S-Class or a seven-seat V-Class — pick the car for the size of the party.

Days out we run from Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch

Sandbanks and Poole Harbour

A clifftop lunch, the chain ferry across to Studland if you want the view, then home before the Shore Road queue builds on a summer afternoon. We time the day around the peninsula traffic so you aren't stuck on the spit at four o'clock.

The New Forest

From Poole or Wimborne the A31 takes you straight into the Forest. We drop you in Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst or Beaulieu, wait while you walk or eat, and pick you up where you finish — no worrying about pub car parks or getting a taxi back from a village.

Highcliffe Castle and Christchurch

Highcliffe Castle, Christchurch Priory and the Quay make an easy half day from anywhere in BCP. The castle car park and the cliff-top path are different pickup points, so we confirm where you want collecting.

Isle of Wight, London and the big venues

For the Isle of Wight we take you to Red Funnel at Southampton, timed to the sailing, from £90 one way. London shows, shopping and matches are fixed prices from BCP too — Twickenham from £170, Wembley from £235, with a return pickup at the time you name.

Racing, football and BIC event days slow the West Cliff and County Gates, so we build that time in. For weddings and formal events, see weddings & events.

Questions, answered

How is a day out priced?

Local days in Dorset and the New Forest are priced on the hours and the stops, and agreed before the day. Trips to venues like Wembley or Twickenham have a fixed one-way price.

Does the driver wait while we're out?

Yes. The driver waits nearby while you eat, walk or look round, then collects you at the time and place you agree.

Can we change the plan on the day?

Tell the driver or call us. If the change adds time or distance, we confirm the new price with you before we go.

Can you take us to the Isle of Wight ferry?

Yes. Red Funnel at Southampton is from £90 one way in an estate car, timed to your sailing.

How many people can come?

Up to three in the estate or E-Class, four in the small MPV, two in the S-Class and seven in the V-Class. For more, we send more cars.

Can we bring children?

Yes. Every type of child seat is fitted free — tell us the children's ages when you book.
