The route
From Euston (NW1) the natural line out is the A501 and the A400, joining M4 J11, then A33 and Caversham Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 43 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 15m off-peak becomes 1h 55m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at Reading Festival
Caversham Road or the Richfield Avenue rendezvous point set for the weekend. Richfield Avenue closes to general traffic across the weekend, so pickups run from the signed rendezvous on Caversham Road.
Address: Richfield Avenue, Reading, RG1 8EQ.
Pickups across Euston
Any address in Euston works, along with the wider NW1 area of Central London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
The rank at Euston works right up until it doesn't. A pre-booked car is assigned to you and parked before you arrive.
When to leave
Doors are usually an hour before the festival starts. Allowing 1h 55m for the drive from Euston plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Getting back from Reading Festival
The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves Reading Festival at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £129 back to Euston.

Studio Tour LondonEES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
