How the day runs
The car is outside your the City of London address at the agreed hour. An executive saloon is the usual choice for a pair. Leaving the City of London, the car picks up the M25 and keeps to the main roads. At Goodwood Racecourse the car uses the drop-off point the organisers set for your ticket. Through the afternoon the car is parked close by, not sent away. Back at the City of London about an hour and 59 minutes after leaving the gates, give or take the exit queue.
