Chauffeur service in Woking, GU21, and the surrounding villages

Woking's centre was rebuilt around a gyratory and a set of multi-storey car parks, which means a pickup point here is a level and a gate rather than a street.

Chauffeur service in Woking — summary

Woking sits in South East England, and a chauffeur here spends more time on Victoria Way, Guildford Road and Church Street West than anywhere else. First Class Chauffeurs covers the whole of Woking for airport transfers, private aviation runs, executive travel and hourly work, with flights tracked from the tail number so a delay changes our arrival time rather than yours. Farnborough is an indicative 20-35 minutes and about 13 miles from Woking. Landmarks used as reference points for pick-ups include Brookwood Cemetery, Woking Park and Woking town square. Neighbouring coverage runs to Guildford, Weybridge and Camberley. Nothing here is published as a price list; the written quotation for Woking is what fixes the price.

01The Woking summary

Chauffeur service in Woking

The station sits in the middle of the town with the shopping centre wrapped round it, and the road layout gives a car very little direct access. Victoria Way and Church Street West carry the traffic; the drop-off is inside a car park rather than at a kerb. Once clear of the middle, the A320 and the A324 open up and Heathrow is under half an hour.

Business is the main driver, from the headquarters buildings around the station to the motorsport and engineering names on the western edge. Beyond the centre the villages of Horsell, Pyrford and Old Woking are quiet and residential, and the bookings there are airport transfers and school runs. Wentworth and the golf belt are ten minutes north.

03The area

What Woking is like to drive

The parts of Woking that decide a pick-up, listed without flattery.

Modern in the middle, Victorian round the edges and semi-rural beyond that. The centre is a one-way system with multi-storey access points rather than kerbs, which takes some learning. Chertsey Road and Guildford Road run out north and south; the canal and the railway both cut across and limit the crossings. West towards Knaphill the roads narrow and the traffic calming is heavy.

04Demand

Who books a chauffeur in Woking

The pattern of a normal week in Woking.

Corporate and airport, in that order. The office towers by the station book cars for visiting executives and for airport runs at both ends of the day; the engineering businesses to the west bring their own international traffic. Add the theatre, the golf clubs to the north and a run of school journeys, and the diary rarely has a quiet stretch in it.

05Road time

Woking to Farnborough, by the clock

The difference between 20-35 minutes and the same drive out of Woking at eight in the morning.

Morning peak on the A320 into the centre runs from half past seven, and the station drop-off queue with it. The A324 and the Chobham Road are slow in the evening. Getting to the M25 at Junction 11 takes ten minutes on a good day and twenty-five on a bad one. For Heathrow we allow eighty minutes from a GU21 address on a weekday morning.

06The kerb

Where a long car can stand near Brookwood Cemetery

Kerb space in Woking is finite. Here is how a collection on A320 Chertsey Road works with that.

Central collections are made from a named level of a car park or from the Victoria Way approach, not from a kerb, because there is not one that works. The station has a set-down inside the multi-storey. Office buildings around the centre have visitor bays behind barriers, so we need the company name in advance. Residential collections in Horsell and Pyrford are straightforward.

Collection notes for Woking

  • 01In the centre we agree a car park level and gate rather than a street, because there is no kerb that works.
  • 02Office buildings by the station have barrier-controlled visitor bays, so we need the company name in advance.
  • 03The station set-down sits inside the multi-storey, and the chauffeur meets you at the lift rather than outside.
  • 04West towards Knaphill the traffic calming is heavy, and we allow a couple of extra minutes for the approach.

07Included as standard

What comes with a car in the GU21 district

  • 01

    What the boot takes on a Farnborough run

    The chauffeur lifts and loads at the Woking kerb. In the rain on A320 Chertsey Road with a laptop bag under one arm, that is worth more than most of the things chauffeur companies get compared on.

  • 02

    Farnborough arrivals, in person

    The board goes up before the first passengers come through the Farnborough doors, and stays up until you are in front of it and pointed at Woking. Then the bags are taken and the drive into Woking begins, which is the whole of the arrangement.

  • 03

    No meter, no surge on a Woking run

    A price you have to ask for is only a price that moves if the answer changes with who is asking. It does not here: the same Woking journey is quoted the same way for everybody, and the written quotation adds the specifics of your own run.

  • 04

    We watch the aircraft into Farnborough

    On the way out of Woking the checking runs the other way. We confirm the Farnborough terminal against your flight number the day before the car leaves Woking, because airlines move between buildings and a satnav is the last thing to find out.

  • 05

    The person at the wheel in Woking

    Punctuality in Woking means being in position before the booked time rather than at it. The chauffeur is standing on the street in Woking with the engine off while you are still finding your passport.

  • 06

    Holding the car in Woking

    Where the day has no fixed shape, book the car from the first address in Woking and release it when you have finished. Everything between that and Brookwood Cemetery can be decided as it happens.

08Terminals

Terminals, drive times and A320 Chertsey Road

The figures are the ones we plan our own cars around in Woking. They are not padded to look impressive, and not trimmed to make Farnborough look closer to Woking than it is. On a wet Monday out of Woking, the higher end of each range is the honest one.
Farnborough
Indicative drive
20-35 minutes
Distance

Waiting from touchdown at Farnborough is part of the Woking transfer, not an extra line.

Waiting from touchdown at Heathrow is part of the Woking transfer, not an extra line.

Gatwick

40-70 minutes is the mid-morning figure. A Friday afternoon out of Woking is not that.

Southampton
Indicative drive

55 miles

Pre-dawn departures to Southampton are ordinary work out of Woking.

The same runs are quoted from Guildford and Weybridge, adjusted for the extra distance rather than reused unchanged.

Ground time in Woking

The ten minutes before you leave Woking

LF-01The ten minutes before you leave Woking

The ten minutes before you leave Woking

The car arrives before the time on your confirmation and parks where it is legal to stand, which near Brookwood Cemetery is not always outside the door. The chauffeur sends one short message naming where in Woking the car is standing, and then waits. You are not being timed, and nothing on the Woking booking starts running.

On a return booking the same chauffeur comes back for you, which by the second journey means they already know which side of Brookwood Cemetery works for the drop and how long your door takes to answer.

  • One message naming exactly where the car is standing in Woking
  • Luggage loaded at the Woking kerb, doors held, no waiting on the pavement
  • The stopping point on A320 Chertsey Road agreed before the morning rather than during it
  • No meter and no waiting charge on a residential collection in Woking
Departure day in Woking

LF-02Departure day in Woking

Departure day in Woking

The car is loaded and moving before A320 Chertsey Road has decided what kind of morning it intends to be. That margin on A320 Chertsey Road is not padding. It is the difference between a calm departure from Woking and a fast one.

If the flight is cancelled while you are still on A320 Chertsey Road, tell the chauffeur. The car turns round, goes back to Woking, and the rebooking is handled in writing rather than at a kerb.

Getting home to Woking after a long flight

LF-03Getting home to Woking after a long flight

Getting home to Woking after a long flight

Landing at Farnborough after a long flight, with Woking still to come, is the point at which most ground arrangements fall over. A Woking return is built for it. The chauffeur is inside arrivals, the car is close, and the drive back into Woking starts within a few minutes of you clearing customs.

A stop on the way in is easy to arrange: someone dropped in Guildford, a detour past Hoebridge Golf Centre, or a supermarket before you reach an empty fridge. Put it on the Woking booking and it appears in the price.

  • A second drop in Guildford priced into the same booking
  • Trains into Woking watched the same way as flights
  • Private arrivals met airside at the Farnborough handling agent, then driven to Woking
  • No telephone call from an Farnborough car park before the run to Woking

LF-04Keeping the car between appointments in Woking

Keeping the car between appointments in Woking

The minimum block is four hours in most classes and six in the largest, stated on your quotation rather than discovered on a Woking pavement afterwards. In Woking that buys a morning with the car standing by.

An evening that begins at Hoebridge Golf Centre and ends somewhere nobody has decided yet is an ordinary booking rather than a difficult one. That is more or less the whole reason for holding a car in Woking.

MPVs leaving Woking earn their keep on luggage rather than passengers. Three adults with real suitcases out of Woking is a V-Class booking, even though three adults on their own would sit in a saloon perfectly happily.

If you are undecided, describe the journey: passengers, cases, where it starts in Woking and where it ends. We will recommend a class for Woking, and the recommendation is usually cheaper than the one people expect.

Woking, the quotation and the confirmation

LF-06Trains into Woking, cars out of it

Trains into Woking, cars out of it

Rail solves distance and then hands you a problem at the Woking end of it. Standing outside Woking with two cases at seven in the evening is that problem, and it is exactly what a car is for.

A station drop from Woking is quoted the same way as an airport one, with the cases carried to the barrier and enough margin that nobody is running for the platform at the end.

Booking from Woking is deliberately short. Date, time, Woking address, destination, passengers, luggage. If it is a run to Farnborough, add the flight. We do the rest and send the Woking price back in writing.

Very early and very late Woking bookings go through the same process with more margin built in. A car leaving Woking before dawn is confirmed in writing exactly like one leaving at noon.

17Answers

Woking chauffeur questions

The questions Woking bookings actually raise, answered without hedging.

Where does a chauffeur wait in Woking town centre?

Inside a car park, usually. The centre has almost no usable kerb, so we agree a level and a gate in one of the multi-storeys off Victoria Way, or an office visitor bay. The chauffeur comes to you rather than leaving you to find a car in a stairwell.

How long is Woking to Heathrow?

About nineteen miles, twenty-five to fifty minutes, using the A320 to the M25 at Junction 11 and then north. Terminal 5 is the closest gate. The variable is the motorway rather than Woking, though the town centre gyratory can add ten minutes at peak.

Do you cover Byfleet, Knaphill and Old Woking?

All of them, plus Horsell, Pyrford, Mayford and Brookwood. GU21 through GU24 are standard ground. Some of the roads west towards Knaphill are heavily traffic-calmed, so we build a couple of extra minutes into the approach rather than arriving late.

Can you arrange a car for golf at Wentworth from Woking?

Yes, and it is a ten-minute run north. The clubs prefer a set-down at the entrance to a car parked outside the clubhouse, so the chauffeur drops, holds nearby and returns when you call. For a full day the car simply stays with you.
