01 — Arrival plan
The approach and set-down for Kew Gardens
Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is a botanic garden in Richmond. The booking names Kew Gardens and the intended gate area, with Elizabeth Gate providing the Richmond TW9 3AE destination reference for the chauffeur plan. The driver uses a lawful roadside passenger position suitable for the agreed gate and does not obstruct its active entrance.
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.

02 — The complete load
Day bags and onward luggage travel together
Passenger numbers, occupied child seats, folded pushchairs, mobility equipment, shopping and hotel luggage are assessed as one load. FCET confirms the fleet class against what will actually be in the vehicle on the fullest movement.
- 48min
- from Reading
- 43min
- from central London
- 25min
- from Heathrow
Road times are live-traffic estimates for a weekday morning; your quoted price uses your exact addresses.
03 — Drop and collect
A clear return plan for Kew Gardens
- Collect from the complete home, hotel or airport address.
- Count passengers, pushchairs, mobility equipment and every bag.
- Follow current direction to a lawful visitor set-down.
- Agree one collection reference before the chauffeur leaves.
- Message when the whole party is ready to return.

04 — During the visit
Retained car or drop and collect at Kew Gardens
Garden visits cover different distances, so collection includes time for the party to return to the same gate rather than assuming an immediate exit. A retained car covers a defined waiting itinerary; drop and collect creates two movements. Neither assumes waiting at the visitor entrance.
Pushchairs, mobility equipment and day bags are counted with any London hotel cases, and no on-site storage is assumed. Passengers look after items taken inside. A lead passenger confirms the agreed gate and readiness before the returning car approaches Richmond traffic for collection.
