01 — Arrival plan
The approach and set-down for Hampton Court
Hampton Court Palace is a Historic Royal Palaces visitor destination in East Molesey. East Molesey and the palace name distinguish the destination from Hampton town, while the chauffeur follows the current A308 visitor approach. Historic Royal Palaces does not allow set-down outside the palace entrances. The chauffeur confirms whether its Ticket Office taxi point is available for the vehicle; otherwise the party uses a permitted Hampton Court Green or station-side point and walks to Trophy Gate.
The booking records every collection, passenger, visit date and one travelling mobile. We plan against the times on your ticket, allowing for loading, traffic and the walk from set-down. Admission remains separate from the chauffeur booking.

03 — During the visit
Retained car or drop and collect at Hampton Court
Palace and garden time is set by the passenger's chosen visit, with walking time included before a later pickup. A retained car covers a defined waiting itinerary; drop and collect creates two movements. Neither assumes waiting at the visitor entrance.
Pushchairs, day bags and hotel cases are included in the passenger load; the booking does not rely on the palace holding personal luggage. Passengers look after items taken inside. The agreed lawful collection point and walking route are confirmed before set-down, then repeated by message when the whole party has returned to it.
