Events & Venues
Reading Festival is on your doorstep in Reading - a short hop rather than a journey, which is exactly why a pre-booked car beats hunting for one on the night. We pick up anywhere across RG1, RG2, RG30 for a fixed £30, and the driver waits at the agreed spot instead of you queuing at a rank. Allow about 15 min door to door when the festival traffic is at its worst.
A pre-booked taxi from Reading to Reading Festival costs from £30 for up to 4 passengers and takes about 5 min off-peak. The price is fixed before you travel and includes tolls, waiting time and luggage.

From most of Reading the approach is M4 J11, then A33 and Caversham Road, and it is the last few hundred metres that cost the time, not the miles. Richfield Avenue closes to general traffic across the weekend, so pickups run from the signed rendezvous on Caversham Road. On a clear evening you are there in minutes; around the festival allow 15 min and let the driver pick the way in.
