A Chessington Taxi Service Backed by Real Local Experience
Peters Cars is a family-run taxi and private hire company based at 53 Kendor Avenue, Epsom, just a few miles from Chessington. We're not a call centre working from a script; our drivers cover Chessington's roads regularly enough to know the quickest way in and out at busy times, whether that's a school run, a theme park drop-off, or a late finish from the station.
Chessington sits just over the county boundary in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, sharing the same "KT" postcode area as Epsom, Ashtead and Ewell. It isn't a stretch destination for us; it's part of the same patch we've driven for more than 10 years. As a private hire operator based in Epsom, we work within the licensing rules set by Epsom & Ewell Borough Council, which cover both our vehicles and our drivers, so you get a consistent, accountable service and a fare you can check before you travel.
That matters most for the journeys that are easy to get wrong from a distance: knowing which gate to use at Chessington World of Adventures Resort, which side of the station forecourt is quickest for a pickup, or which road to avoid when the A3 backs up. It's the difference between a driver following a satnav for the first time and one who's made the same run for a decade, and it's usually the small details, not the big ones, that decide whether a journey feels stressful or completely routine.
Getting Around Chessington: Roads We Know Well
Chessington sits close to where the A3 meets the A243 and the Kingston bypass, a junction that can slow right down at commuter times and on busy theme park weekends. Our drivers work these roads regularly, know when to cut through Hook or Tolworth instead of sitting in traffic on the main routes, and plan around Chessington World of Adventures Resort's own traffic on peak half-term days. That local knowledge matters most when it counts: getting you to an early flight, a train that won't wait, or a theme park booking on time, even when a satnav route would normally add another fifteen minutes. It's also why we can usually offer a realistic pickup time over the phone, rather than a generic estimate that doesn't account for what the roads are actually doing that day.
Chessington Journey Times at a Glance
Chessington sits at the crossroads of several Surrey and south-west London towns we already run to daily, so most nearby journeys take less time than people expect.
| Area | Approx. Distance from Chessington | Typical Drive Time |
|---|---|---|
| Worcester Park | 2 miles | 6–8 minutes |
| Surbiton | 3 miles | 8–10 minutes |
| Kingston upon Thames | 3 miles | 8–10 minutes |
| Esher | 4 miles | 10–12 minutes |

| Sutton | 5 miles | 12–15 minutes |
| Ashtead | 6 miles | 14–18 minutes |
| Leatherhead | 6 miles | 14–18 minutes |
These are typical drive times outside peak hours; we build in extra time around school runs, rush hour on the A3 and Kingston bypass, and busy half-term days at Chessington World of Adventures Resort.
The Right Vehicle for Your Chessington Journey
We run a mixed fleet from comfortable saloons for one or two passengers, through to estates with extra boot space, MPVs for a small group, and 8-seaters that keep a larger family or party together in one booking. A trailer is available alongside our larger vehicles whenever you're travelling with extra luggage, which is handy for a theme park day out with buggies, bags and coats for the whole family. Tell us how many people are travelling and how much you're bringing, and we'll recommend the right size before you book. See our full fleet page for more on each vehicle.

Chessington World of Adventures & Local Stations
As well as everyday local journeys, we're a regular choice for two of Chessington's best-known destinations. Chessington World of Adventures Resort is one of our most popular family bookings, especially during school holidays and half-term weeks when the theme park's own car parks get busy; we can drop off and collect close to the main gates without you needing to find parking yourself. We also run regular pickups from Chessington South and Chessington North stations, for commuters and rail travellers heading further into Surrey or towards London. If you're staying at one of the on-site hotels for a short break, we can also arrange a fixed pickup time for your journey home, so the taxi's waiting rather than you waiting for the taxi.
All Major Cards Accepted When Booking
All card payments need to be made while booking.
Getting the Most Out of Your Chessington Taxi Booking
A few details help us get your Chessington journey right first time. If you're heading to Chessington World of Adventures Resort, tell us your preferred entrance and roughly what time you'll want collecting, especially on a busy half-term day when queues at the main gate can add several minutes to an ordinary pickup. If you're travelling with pushchairs, wheelchairs or extra luggage, mention it when you book so we can send an estate, MPV or 8-seater rather than a saloon that's too small on the day. For airport and station transfers, giving us your flight number or train time means we track delays and adjust your pickup automatically, rather than you having to call and rearrange. And if a Chessington journey needs to happen every week, such as a school run or a regular commute from Chessington South or North station, ask about setting it up as a standing booking; it's usually quicker to arrange once than to book the same trip from scratch each time.
