Royal Ascot 2027 dates and race days

The British Horseracing Authority’s 2027 fixture list schedules the five-day meeting at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire:
  • Tuesday 15 June – opening day.
  • Wednesday 16 June – the second day.
  • Thursday 17 June – the third day.
  • Friday 18 June – the fourth day.
  • Saturday 19 June – the final day.
Check Ascot’s official website for the latest gate opening times, race programme and travel instructions before agreeing your departure time. Include any hospitality arrival time in your booking request.

Where your chauffeur drops you and collects you

The permitted set-down and collection point depends on the event’s traffic arrangements and the vehicle. Your enclosure badge does not by itself provide car park access. Ascot’s Royal Enclosure car park rules require the appropriate parking label and impose vehicle restrictions. Before travelling:
  • Share your enclosure or hospitality details and any parking pass so its suitability for the booked vehicle can be checked.
  • Agree a permitted collection point and a contact number. Ask about the walking distance if anyone in your party has mobility needs.
  • Follow the current racecourse instructions and stewards’ directions. Contact your chauffeur if the agreed meeting point needs to change.
Drop-off permission and permission to park all day are different. Ascot publishes separate rules for dropping off and parking in Car Park 3; confirm the arrangements for your 2027 visit rather than relying on a previous year’s meeting point.

Planning departures from Mayfair, Heathrow and Canary Wharf

Plan backwards from the time you want to reach your enclosure, allowing for the drive, event traffic, the walk from the permitted set-down point and entry checks.
  • From Mayfair: give us the exact hotel or collection address, any additional stops and your required arrival time.
  • From Heathrow: provide the flight number, terminal and luggage details. Landing time is not the time you will be ready to leave arrivals.
  • From Canary Wharf: allow for the journey across London as well as the approach to Ascot. Confirm the collection address and all passenger pickups.
Agree your departure plan with the team; a journey estimate cannot guarantee arrival through race-day traffic. For commercial-flight collections, complimentary waiting is 60 minutes after landing. Applicable airport parking, drop-off fees and Congestion Charge are quoted at cost before confirmation. See the eligibility and exclusions in our On-Time Guarantee for the separate pickup commitment.

Dress code by enclosure

Check the current dress requirements for your booked enclosure through Ascot’s official Royal Ascot guidance. Requirements differ between the Royal, Queen Anne, Village and Windsor Enclosures. Tell us about hat boxes, luggage and other bulky items before choosing a car so space and secure storage can be confirmed.

What our Royal Ascot chauffeur service costs

Royal Ascot journeys are quoted for the agreed itinerary. The Greater London rates on our daily hire page are not a Royal Ascot package: Ascot is outside Greater London. Our price list distinguishes London and out-of-town hire, and its published 2026 rates should not be treated as a confirmed 2027 event fare. These are the passenger limits currently listed for our vehicle classes. Availability, the requested model and space for your group’s belongings must be confirmed for the booking.
Vehicle Up to passengers Full-day booking One-way transfer
Executive – Mercedes E-Class 4 Itinerary quote Route quote
First Class – Mercedes S-Class / BMW 7 Series 4 Itinerary quote Route quote
First Exclusive – Mercedes S500 / S580 3 Itinerary quote Route quote
Premium MPV – Mercedes V-Class 6 Itinerary quote Route quote
Luxury SUV – Range Rover 3 Itinerary quote Route quote

Your quote should identify the VAT-inclusive total, booked hours, included mileage, waiting arrangements and rates for additional time or mileage. Event parking and any applicable Congestion Charge are added at cost; applicable event-area or late-night supplements are shown before confirmation. Extra stops, excess waiting or changes to the agreed itinerary may affect the price.

Full-day hire or two one-way transfers?

Compare quotes for the whole itinerary. The published London one-way minimum covers a short London journey, not a transfer to Ascot.
  • Full-day hire: request the vehicle for the agreed period, including the outward journey, time at Ascot and return. Confirm where the car can wait.
  • Two transfers: agree the outward and return pickup times separately, including the return waiting allowance and charges for changes.
  • A single transfer: useful when you are staying nearby or making different arrangements for the return.
Our events chauffeur team can help you compare the options. An extension to booked hours needs confirmation; do not assume that a day booking includes unlimited waiting.

How pickup works after the last race

Agree the return plan before entering the racecourse:
  • Confirm your planned departure time and permitted meeting point.
  • Keep your phone available for contact with your chauffeur and check the vehicle details before boarding.
  • Tell the team promptly if you want to leave earlier or stay longer, so availability and any additional charge can be confirmed.
  • Allow time for the walk to the car and queues leaving the racecourse; no particular time saving can be guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a chauffeur to Royal Ascot cost for the day?

Ask for a quote for your 2027 race day, vehicle, pickup address and return time. London daily and short-transfer starting prices are not Royal Ascot fares. Confirm the VAT-inclusive total, mileage, booked hours, parking and any supplements before booking.

Will the chauffeur wait all day at Ascot?

Request a full-day booking if you need the car available during the meeting. Confirm the booked period and permitted waiting location; parking access depends on the racecourse arrangements. Additional time is subject to confirmation and the applicable charge.

Can we stop on the way to Ascot?

Yes, include every planned stop in your quote request, such as collecting guests from another hotel. Stops need to fit the agreed route, time and mileage; additional stops or extensions may cost more. The Greater London hourly tariff should not be assumed to cover an Ascot itinerary.

How early should we leave central London for Royal Ascot?

The departure time depends on your address, required arrival time, stops and race-day access arrangements. Share your hospitality schedule and confirm the plan with the team, allowing time to reach your enclosure after leaving the car.

Do you have a car for six people going to Royal Ascot?

The Mercedes V-Class category is listed for up to six passengers. Tell us the number and size of bags and hat boxes so the configuration can be checked. For a larger party, ask about vehicle availability and coordinated collection arrangements. Ready to plan Royal Ascot 2027?
