Service

Event Transport & Event Hire Taxi

Race meetings, theatre trips, parties, corporate functions and celebrations all share the same problem: getting a group there is easy, getting everyone home afterwards is not. Western Cars provides event transport with the return journey arranged at the same time, so the evening ends without a scramble for cars.

Event hire cars, party transport and occasions

Events we provide transport for

Event transport is a regular part of our work across Sussex and beyond:

  • Race meetings at Goodwood, Fontwell and Brighton
  • Theatre and concert trips in Worthing, Brighton and London
  • Birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations
  • Corporate functions, awards evenings and hospitality
  • Christmas parties and seasonal events
  • Sporting fixtures and club socials

Why pre-book the return leg

Booking transport to an event is straightforward. The difficulty is always the journey home, when everyone leaves at once and demand for cars spikes. Pre-booking the return means your vehicle is committed to you at an agreed time, rather than you joining a queue at midnight.

For events with an unpredictable finish, we can arrange for the driver to be on standby from a given time and called forward when you are ready. Tell us when you book that the finish time may move and we will build that into the arrangement.

Larger parties and multiple pickups

If your group is spread across several addresses, we can agree a collection order so that everyone is picked up efficiently and the party arrives together. For larger events we coordinate multiple vehicles on the same schedule.

How it works

Booking this service, step by step

No accounts to create and no forms to fight with first — tell us the journey and we will confirm the details and the fare.
  1. Share the event details

    Tell us the venue, date, arrival and finish times, and how many people are travelling in each group.

  2. We plan the movements

    We propose vehicles and timings covering the outward journey and the return, including any mid-event movements.

  3. Fixed price for the vehicle

    The booking is quoted as a set price based on vehicle type and distance.

  4. Collected on the night

    Drivers arrive ahead of the agreed time and wait, so the return journey happens on schedule.

Pricing

What the fare covers, and what it does not

  • Airport, seaport and other pre-agreed journeys are quoted as a fixed price that is confirmed at the time of booking.
  • We charge the same rates whatever the time of day or night, so early-morning and late-night journeys cost no more.

  • Additional charges can apply for waiting time, extra stops, tolls, parking fees or journeys on public holidays.
