Cheltenham Festival Chauffeur Service
Four days of the finest jump racing in the world. The luxury alternative to a Cheltenham taxi — chauffeur-driven transfers to Prestbury Park for Champion Day, Ladies Day, St Patrick's Day and Gold Cup Day, with all the traffic and parking handled for you.
Overview
Gold Cup week without the four-hour queue.
The Festival draws over 250,000 racegoers to Prestbury Park across four days each March. The A40 and surrounding Cotswold roads regularly grind to a halt, and shuttle buses fill quickly.
Compass Executive chauffeurs arrive early, use pre-agreed drop-off points close to the enclosures, and return on your schedule — not the shuttle bus timetable.
For guests based in Berkshire, London or attending overnight at a Cotswolds country house hotel, we build the round trip around your race card and hospitality bookings.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the journey from London to Cheltenham take?
Typically 2 hours 15 minutes in advance of race traffic. We collect early so you arrive relaxed before the first race.
Can you handle Gold Cup Day's departure rush?
Yes. Our chauffeurs wait in a designated area and time collections to bypass the worst of the departure traffic on the A40.
Do you offer four-day chauffeur packages?
Yes — daily, three-day and full Festival packages are available, with the same chauffeur across the week where possible.
Can you collect from Cotswold hotels?
Absolutely. We regularly collect from properties around Cheltenham, Broadway, Chipping Campden and Bourton-on-the-Water.
Is a Range Rover essential for Cheltenham?
Not essential, but the Range Rover Autobiography is particularly comfortable in poor March weather. It requires 7 days' notice to arrange.
Is this different to a standard Cheltenham taxi?
Yes. Compass Executive is a pre-booked luxury chauffeur company — uniformed drivers in an executive Mercedes, S-Class or Range Rover with waiting time included. It is the premium executive taxi alternative for Gold Cup week.
