The route
From Epsom (KT17, KT18, KT19) the natural line out is the A24 and the A240, joining M3 J1 or M25 J12, then A308 Staines Road East for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 11.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 30 min off-peak becomes 40 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at Kempton Park Racecourse
The main entrance on Staines Road East. Kempton's floodlit evening meetings finish late and the A308 clears quickly, so a booked return beats waiting for a rank.
Address: Staines Road East, Sunbury-on-Thames, TW16 5AQ.
Pickups across Epsom
Any address in Epsom works, along with the wider KT17, KT18, KT19 area of Surrey. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
From Epsom the A24, A240 route does most of the work, so the timing holds up even when the local roads are busy.
When to leave
Doors are usually an hour before the raceday starts. Allowing 40 min for the drive from Epsom plus that hour is the timing that works on a busy night.
Getting back from Kempton Park Racecourse
The return is the leg worth planning. Everyone leaves Kempton Park Racecourse at once, so a car booked to wait at the agreed point gets you moving while the queue is still forming - same £55 back to Epsom.

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.
