A chauffeur to Wimbledon 2027 costs from £288 for a four-hour hourly booking in a Mercedes E-Class, or £528 for a full day with your chauffeur on standby until play ends. The 150th Championships run 28 June to 11 July 2027 at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Church Road, SW19. Your quote is fixed before you confirm.

Wimbledon 2027 dates and order-of-play basics

The Championships 2027 take place from Monday 28 June to Sunday 11 July 2027, and mark the 150th staging of the tournament. Play is scheduled across all 14 days, with the ladies’ and gentlemen’s singles finals on the closing weekend. The order of play for each day is published by the AELTC the evening before, and it dictates when you need to arrive. Two things worth knowing when you plan a chauffeur:
  • Show-court start times are fixed; finish times are not. A five-set match on Centre Court can push the day well into the evening.
  • Week one and week two feel different. Week one has more matches and more people moving in and out through the day; the second week has fewer matches, later starts on the show courts, and heavier evening departures.
Check wimbledon.com for gate opening times and the daily schedule, then tell us your court and session; we will recommend a departure time.

Drop-off and pickup points at the All England Club

The AELTC publishes a Walking to The Championships map that shows the designated drop-off and pick-up areas for pre-booked taxi and chauffeur services. Taxi ranks operate at Southfields and Wimbledon stations, and on Church Road opposite Gate 4 (in Wimbledon Park) and on Somerset Road at Gate 12. Church Road itself is subject to temporary traffic management during The Championships, so where a car can physically stop changes from year to year. How we handle it:
  • We check the current AELTC map and Merton traffic orders in the week before the tournament and set your chauffeur’s set-down point accordingly.
  • You are dropped as close to your gate as the traffic plan allows, typically a short walk.
  • For collection, we agree a fixed meeting point in advance. Your chauffeur confirms his exact position by WhatsApp when he is parked up.
Debenture holders and hospitality guests sometimes have specific access arrangements issued with their tickets; send us those instructions and we will follow them.

Timings from Mayfair, Heathrow and Canary Wharf

SW19 is close to central London, which lulls people into leaving late. The last two miles around Wimbledon Park are where the time goes.
  • Mayfair to Wimbledon: allow at least 75 minutes door to gate during The Championships, more for an 11am gate opening on a show-court day.
  • Heathrow to Wimbledon: the route via the A4 or M4 and then south through Richmond or Roehampton is reliable outside peak hours; allow around 90 minutes on a Championships day. We include 60 minutes of complimentary waiting at the airport and monitor your flight.
  • Canary Wharf to Wimbledon: the longest of the three, crossing central and south-west London. Allow two hours or more.
Every pickup is covered by our On-Time Guarantee: if we are late, you receive a tiered cash refund.

Hourly hire vs full-day hire: what Wimbledon costs

For a single session, hourly hire (four-hour minimum, 20 miles included) covers the drive from central London and a set-down. For a whole day of tennis with an evening collection, full-day hire (eight-hour minimum, 60 miles included) is better value than two separate transfers and gives you a car on standby. All prices include VAT.

A one-way transfer from central London starts at £120 in an E-Class. Parking and any Congestion Charge are added at cost and itemised in your quote; any event-area or late-night supplement is shown in your fixed quote before you confirm. Full details on our prices page.

Hospitality and debenture guests

If you are attending as a guest of a corporate hospitality package or as a debenture holder, the day usually starts with lunch before play and ends well after the last ball. Our business chauffeur clients typically book a full day with a Mercedes S-Class, use the car for a hotel or office collection on the way, and keep it on standby for the return. If your hospitality provider issues vehicle passes or a specific arrival route, forward the details and we will brief your chauffeur.

Evening pickup after play

The end of play at Wimbledon is unpredictable and the roads around SW19 are at their busiest in the hour after the show courts empty. On a full-day booking:
  • Your chauffeur tracks the live scores and moves into position as the final match on your court reaches its closing stages.
  • You message him when you are leaving your seat; he confirms the meeting point and registration.
  • If play overruns beyond your booked hours, the car simply continues at the hourly rate. You are never left without transport.
  • He chooses the exit route based on live conditions rather than the sat-nav default, which avoids the worst of the Church Road queue.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a chauffeur to Wimbledon cost for a day?

£528 for a full eight-hour day in a Mercedes E-Class, £672 in an S-Class or six-seat V-Class, £960 in a Range Rover, all VAT-inclusive with 60 miles included. A four-hour hourly booking starts at £288. Parking and any supplements are shown in your fixed quote before you confirm.

Can the chauffeur drop me at the gate?

As close as the AELTC traffic plan allows. Pre-booked taxi and chauffeur set-down areas are shown on the official Walking to The Championships map, with taxi points on Church Road opposite Gate 4 and on Somerset Road at Gate 12. Expect a short walk to your gate on busy days.

What happens if play overruns?

Your car stays. On a full-day booking any time beyond eight hours is charged at the hourly rate (£66 for an E-Class, £84 for an S-Class), agreed by message on the day. Your chauffeur follows the live scores, so he is in position when the last match ends, not before.

Can I go direct from Heathrow to Wimbledon?

Yes. A one-way Heathrow chauffeur transfer to central London starts at £144 in an E-Class or £180 in an S-Class or V-Class; Heathrow to SW19 is quoted on the same basis. We monitor your flight and include 60 minutes of waiting. Allow around 90 minutes on a Championships day.

Do you have a car for a group of six?

Yes. The Mercedes V-Class carries six passengers with luggage at £90 per hour (four-hour minimum, £360) or £672 for a full day. For larger parties we run multiple vehicles with one coordinator and a single invoice. Book your Wimbledon 2027 chauffeur now. Finals weekend and the second-week show-court days sell out first.
