Private car to Ascot Racecourse SL5 · Britain's most prestigious race meeting · Arrive in style
Royal Ascot is held annually for five days in mid-June at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, SL5 7JX — approximately 27 miles from central London and 6 miles from Windsor. It is the UK's most prestigious race meeting and one of the most important events in the British social calendar, attracting over 300,000 visitors over its five days. Dress code is formal — top hat and morning suit for the Royal Enclosure, smart attire for other enclosures. Arriving by private car is very much part of the Ascot experience.
Arriving at Royal Ascot via a 100% electric Mercedes with a uniformed professional driver is entirely consistent with the event's prestige. Guests arriving in formal attire — morning suits, top hats, fascinators and gowns — should not be navigating train stations. Our drivers deliver you to the designated car park entrances or to the enclosure drop-off on Ascot High Street, depending on your enclosure booking.
Royal Ascot 2026 takes place over five days in the third week of June. The Queen Anne Stakes opens Tuesday; Gold Cup day (Ladies Day) falls on Thursday; the final day of racing is Saturday. Each day begins at approximately 2:30pm with the first race, and Royal Procession down the straight at 2pm. Book your transfer to arrive by 1:30pm for the best atmosphere.
We recommend booking a return transfer for 6:30–7pm — after the final race (usually 5:35pm) and allowing time to enjoy the post-race atmosphere. Roads around Ascot become very congested immediately after the last race, so your driver will advise on the best exit route on the day.
Event transfer prices depend on your pickup location, number of passengers, and whether you need a return journey. Contact us for a fixed all-inclusive price.
