Taxi from Petersfield to London: When a Car Beats the Train
The train to Waterloo is the obvious way into London. A car makes sense when there is luggage, a group, a late finish or a destination far from the station. Here is how to book one.
TwentyFour7Cars (Sponsored member, 07961 609455), a Petersfield private hire firm, says it covers London and long-distance journeys and runs 24/7. A car is worth it for groups, heavy luggage or late returns; ask whether London charges such as the Congestion Charge and parking are included in the quote.

Train or car?
Petersfield has direct trains to London Waterloo, which suit one person with a small bag going somewhere near a station. A car wins when you are travelling as a group and can share it, carrying luggage or equipment, heading somewhere awkward to reach from Waterloo, or coming home after the last train.
Who does the run
TwentyFour7Cars says it offers coverage across London and long-distance journeys on request, for business and leisure. It says it works 24 hours a day, so a late return from a show or a dinner in London is the kind of booking it takes. For five to eight people it has an eight-seater minibus.
London charges
Driving into London can add costs. Ask the firm whether the quote includes the Congestion Charge if your destination is in the central zone, any parking or waiting at the drop-off, and the return leg if they wait for you.
Waiting and returns
If you need the car to wait, agree how long and what it costs. If you want collecting later, book a set time and give the driver a number to ring.
Business trips
For regular trips into town for work, see our business travel guide; TwentyFour7Cars says it offers corporate accounts with monthly invoicing.
