The route
From King's Cross St Pancras (N1C, WC1) the natural line out is the A501 and the A5200, joining M1 J15a or M40 J10, then A43 and Dadford Road for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 70 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 35m off-peak becomes 2h 15m 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.

We pick up anywhere in King's Cross St Pancras and the surrounding Central London postcodes - N1C, WC1. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.
Booking ahead at King's Cross St Pancras 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

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.
