The route
From Basingstoke (RG21, RG22, RG23, RG24) the natural line out is the M3 J6 and the A33, joining A27 Chichester bypass, then Claypit Lane for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 39.0 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 05m off-peak becomes 1h 20m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at Goodwood
The signed taxi rendezvous for the meeting - it moves between the Motor Circuit and the Racecourse. Goodwood's lanes are narrow and one-way under event traffic management, so the rendezvous changes by event: tell us if it is the Festival of Speed, Revival or a raceday.
Address: Goodwood Estate, Chichester, PO18 0PS.

EES 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.
