Why chauffeur beats driving yourself

Getting to Goodwood on festival weekend

Mercedes S-Class luxury interior

The Festival of Speed draws over 200,000 visitors across the four days. The roads around Goodwood — particularly the A27, A286 and the approach through Chichester — become heavily congested during peak arrival times on Saturday and Sunday. Car parks fill early and the walk from the further fields can be considerable.

With Platinum Cars, you are dropped at the main entrance to Goodwood House. Your chauffeur handles all navigation, timing and parking. You arrive at the event, not a field a mile away.

The Festival of Speed is also a showcase for some of the most extraordinary cars in the world — arriving in the Rolls Royce Phantom or the Mercedes S-Class is entirely in keeping with the spirit of the event.

🏎 Festival weekend tip from our drivers — Saturday is the busiest day and the Timed Shoot-Out in the afternoon draws the largest crowds. We recommend departing early on Saturday to make the morning hill climbs. We plan your collection timing for the return to avoid peak departure traffic on the A27.
🔗 Combine with the British Grand Prix — The Festival of Speed takes place the week after the British Grand Prix at Silverstone (2 to 5 July). Many of our clients book both events in the same week. Ask about combined transfer pricing when you call.

Client reviews

What clients say about Platinum Cars

★★★★★
"Used Platinum for the Festival of Speed from our home in Sevenoaks. The S-Class was immaculate and our driver knew exactly where to drop us at Goodwood House. Returning through the Saturday traffic would have been a nightmare — having the car waiting made all the difference."
