The route
From Paddington (W2) the natural line out is the A40 and the A404, joining M1 J15a or M40 J10, then A43 and Dadford Road for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 69 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 35m off-peak becomes 2h 10m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at Silverstone Circuit
The signed taxi and private hire zone off Dadford Road. Grand Prix weekends run a full traffic plan with timed access and the A43 closes to non-permit traffic, so pickups run from the Dadford Road zone.
Address: Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, NN12 8TN.
Pickups across Paddington
Any address in Paddington works, along with the wider W2 area of Central London. Home, office, hotel or station - the driver comes to the door and helps with bags.
Booking ahead at Paddington means the driver is holding at the pickup point when you step off, rather than you joining the rank queue with the rest of the train.
When to leave
Doors are usually an hour before the race weekend starts. Allowing 2h 10m for the drive from Paddington plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Getting back from Silverstone Circuit
Book both legs together and the driver is in position before the race weekend ends. Getting out of Silverstone Circuit is the part that costs people an hour; this is how you skip it. The return to Paddington is the same £169.
What every booking includes
- Waiting time included at the pickup point
- Card, bank transfer or business account, with a VAT receipt
- Available 24 hours a day, every day of the year
- A text with the driver's name, photo and registration before pickup

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.
