Virgin chauffeur service - cost beyond 75 miles
We're looking at spending some airmiles on the chauffeur service to Gatwick, but, according to Google Maps, we're 86 miles from Gatwick by the normal driving routes.
The website says you can pay a surcharge for longer distances by the mile, but doesn't say how much that is. Does anyone know how much they charge for it? |

Hi. I had a look on Google for you but can't find anything at all. Most unusual.
I think you will have to ring them up for a quote. Nice way to arrive I must say and if I lived within the distance stipulated I would be on it like a shot.

DH & I are using the chauffeur service from Manchester back home as we are flying first class return. It is free for us as 2 passengers have up to 75 miles each to use. I would give them a call... they were very helpful.

I was due to fly from LHR to JFK on business and extra chauffeur cost from Sheffield was £400, so was cheaper to get a connecting flight from Manchester and chauffeur from Sheffield to Manchester which was within the 75mile allowance.

We flew first class but were the wrong class of ticket to get it!

We used miles to fly VS Upper return San Francisco last year so had to use miles for the car too & I'm sure I saw the OOP price for over 75miles some where in the T&C's

It used to be as the crow flies for miles. Are you sure you have to pay? If you do pay they do it on bands, its not a per mile basis. If you give Virgin a call they can let you know what the extra cost is. It wont be much if you do have to pay.
