Anyone booked one? Just trying to work out the best way to get 10 people from Silverstone to Milton Keynes on Saturday evening and then back again Sunday Morning.

Do 2 of them have cars?

For Saturday and Sunday you need either a park and ride pass or a carpark pass. If they don't have either then they won't be able to drive even if they had cars.

Would probably be cheaper to rent a minibus for the weekend than get a taxi to MK and back for 10 of you

If not

are quite good

We are going corporate hospitality with free beer, wine and champagne, we aren't necessarily looking for cheap!

There have been complaints of over-charging in the past, and as a result, the council's licensing officers have had a meeting with local private hire operators and taxi drivers. Private hire fares are not set by the local authority. However, customers should not expect to pay more than about £35 for a journey from Silverstone to Banbury, or Northampton, or Milton Keynes. Notices will be displayed in and around Silverstone & Whittlebury.

£35 between 3 of you isn't bad at all.

Unless you find a company that has two of those 7 seat Ford Tourneo type things ?

I agree, it's finding a company that's going to do it for that price that I'm struggling with!

Give http://www.eezycabs.co.uk/ a try. I've done MK to Northampton and it was £25 for 8 people booking in advance.

Even if it's £75 it's not bad if you can get in one to share.

Just need an airport taxi or long distance type place that will have those 8 seat tournedos or even a minibus you can share

Got a minibus, £250 for the day. He's going to stay at the circuit and take us back!

£25 for unlimited transport all day can't be bad
