Goodwood, near Chichester in West Sussex, is about 65 miles from Central London and hosts the two biggest motoring weekends in the British calendar: the Goodwood Revival, 18 to 20 September 2026, and the Festival of Speed, 15 to 18 July 2027. Excel Chauffeurs provides a fixed-price Goodwood chauffeur service from London and the airports as out-of-town day hire: 8 hours with 150 miles included, £768 in a Mercedes E-Class, £960 in a Mercedes S-Class or V-Class, or £1,248 in a Range Rover, all including VAT. Your chauffeur then drops you at the gate, waits, and drives you home. Book on our booking page or call 0204 515 4441.
For groups of more than six, we can split the booking across two or more cars running to the same schedule. In addition, brands and hospitality hosts can book through a corporate account with ex-VAT invoicing.
Goodwood events and dates
- Goodwood Revival 2026: 18 to 20 September 2026 at the Goodwood Motor Circuit. Period dress is part of the event, so a chauffeured arrival in an S-Class or Range Rover is a natural fit. Goodwood then announces the 2027 Revival dates after the 2026 event.
- Goodwood Festival of Speed 2027: 15 to 18 July 2027 at Goodwood House, with the hillclimb, manufacturer stands, the Forest Rally Stage and Saturday’s timed shootout.
- Goodwood Members’ Meeting: a spring weekend at the Motor Circuit for GRRC members as well as their guests.
- Glorious Goodwood (Qatar Goodwood Festival): five days of flat racing at Goodwood Racecourse in late July / early August.
Getting to Goodwood from London by chauffeur
- Route and time: A3 and A27 via Guildford and Petersfield, or the M23/A23 and A27 via Brighton. Allow 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes from Central London on event days. Goodwood’s approach roads operate under a traffic plan, so queues build from mid-morning.
- From the airports: Gatwick is around 50 miles (1 hour 15 minutes), while Heathrow is around 65 miles (1 hour 45 minutes). In addition, we quote both as fixed transfers.
- Drop-off: Goodwood publishes chauffeur and taxi drop-off points for each event, usually a short walk from the entrances. We then follow the current traffic plan and confirm the arrangement with your booking. If you hold a hospitality or car-park pass, tell us and we route accordingly.
- Waiting: with day hire the chauffeur remains nearby and meets you at the agreed point when you are ready to leave, avoiding the long taxi queues at the end of the day.
- Staying nearby: if you are based in Chichester, Arundel or Midhurst, we can transfer you each day or book a local hourly service instead.
