Farnborough Airshow chauffeur service options

Transfers from London and the airports

For a one-way transfer, provide the exact collection address or airport terminal, travel date, passenger count, luggage and your intended arrival time. We quote for that journey rather than applying a London day-hire price. Commercial-flight arrivals include 60 minutes of free waiting after landing, with flight monitoring. Private-jet and train-station collections include 30 minutes; these arrivals cannot always be monitored, so keep our team updated with your expected arrival time and any delays. Other pickups include 15 minutes. For private aviation, provide the handling agent and flight or tail number so the permitted meeting point can be confirmed. See our Farnborough Airport chauffeur page.

Out-of-town hire for a full itinerary

If you need the chauffeur between the show, hotels, meetings and dinner, request out-of-town hire for the complete schedule. The published minimum is eight hours with 150 miles included. Each additional hour includes a further 25 miles, with extra time charged at the relevant out-of-town hourly rate. Waiting between appointments forms part of the booked time. Confirm extensions and any additional mileage charges with the team; vehicle access and waiting locations remain subject to the organiser’s rules.

Vehicle class	Car	Passengers	Current 8-hour out-of-town rate (inc VAT)	Current extra-hour rate
Executive	Mercedes E-Class	Up to 4	£768	£96
First Class	Mercedes S-Class / BMW 7 Series	Up to 4	£960	£120
Premium MPV (Farnborough Airshow chauffeur for groups)	Mercedes V-Class	Up to 6	£960	£120
Luxury SUV	Range Rover	Up to 3	£1,248	£156

These figures follow our 2026 price list; rates and availability for 2028 must be confirmed when you book. Passenger limits do not guarantee space for every luggage combination, so include bag sizes and any child-seat requirements. Applicable parking, airport drop-off fees and Congestion Charge are quoted at cost; the quote will also identify any applicable event supplement. For a multi-car delegation, discuss passenger lists, meeting times and invoicing through our corporate account service.

Planning the day

Plan around your first appointment. Share your required arrival time, collection address and any check-in or security requirements. Allow extra time for event traffic and the final approach to the venue.
Confirm the permitted drop-off. Chauffeur hire does not guarantee entrance-side access. An off-site meeting point and onward shuttle may be required. We will plan around the organiser’s applicable instructions and any authorised permit you hold.
Agree the return collection. Give the team your expected finish time and passenger contact. A retained vehicle does not bypass traffic controls or queues; confirm the permitted pickup point and keep the chauffeur informed if your plans change.
Include the whole itinerary. Supply hotel addresses, dinner plans and the number of travellers before requesting a quote, particularly for several vehicles or more than one show day.

Farnborough Airshow chauffeur service: frequently asked questions

How much is a chauffeur from London to the Farnborough Airshow?

A transfer is quoted for your exact addresses, date and vehicle. For a longer itinerary, our current 2026 out-of-town reference rates are £768 for an eight-hour E-Class booking, £960 for an S-Class or V-Class, and £1,248 for a Range Rover, including VAT and 150 miles. Confirm your 2028 event price and applicable charges before booking; the standard Greater London day rate is a different service basis.

Can the chauffeur wait at the show?

With out-of-town hire, the chauffeur remains available during the agreed booking period. The waiting location and return meeting point depend on event restrictions and permitted access. Confirm the schedule and contact arrangements in advance rather than assuming the car can wait beside the entrance.

Do you collect from Farnborough Airport?

Yes. Give us the handling agent, flight or tail number, expected arrival time and passenger contact so we can arrange the permitted collection point. Private-jet arrivals include 30 minutes of free waiting. They cannot always be monitored, so clients must update the team about arrival changes or delays; airside access is subject to permission.

Does the price include VAT?

The reference prices above include 20% VAT. Our price list also shows ex-VAT figures for corporate accounts; this does not make a business booking exempt from VAT. Confirm your invoicing requirements with the team.

How far ahead should I book?

Enquire once you know your dates and itinerary, especially for multi-car delegations or particular vehicle requirements. Availability and the final price must be confirmed. Check your admission arrangements with the organiser separately before committing to travel.
