The local standard
A Godalming journey begins with the correct door, station side or reception, then carries that detail through to the airport handover.

Road times are live-traffic estimates for a weekday morning; your quoted price uses your exact addresses.
01 — Two station choices
Say Godalming or Farncombe before travel
Godalming Town Council identifies Godalming and Farncombe as separate railway stations. The booking must state which one the passenger will use. National Rail lists Godalming station at Station Approach, GU7 1EU. Add the service, arrival time and passenger mobile rather than relying on the town name. A rail arrival can continue to a home, hotel, business appointment or airport. Tell FCET whether luggage is arriving on the train and which onward deadline matters. The chauffeur uses the confirmed station and agreed public meeting place; live rail information remains the traveller's source for platforms, accessibility and service changes.
Godalming collections also begin at private homes, town-centre businesses and rural addresses outside the immediate station area. Give the full address and any gate, drive, reception or visible landmark needed to identify the property. FCET does not infer a stopping position from a postcode or promise access that has not been confirmed. A group itinerary should list each pickup in travel order, with the passengers and luggage at every stop. FCET can then check the route, boarding time and vehicle against the whole party. Another address may affect a fixed airport or meeting arrival.

Join the strategic road after the local approach
The town council describes Godalming as close to the A3, but the collection determines how the journey begins. Station Approach, Farncombe and a property beyond the centre have different first sections. The chauffeur checks current conditions and the actual address. The Heathrow, Gatwick and London figures on this page come from the maintained route metrics and serve as planning guides. They do not guarantee a future travel time. Incidents, the time of day, the final London street and the approach to a particular airport terminal can all require additional allowance.
For a flight departure, send the airport, terminal, flight and the time the passenger intends to be inside. FCET plans the proposed Godalming collection from that instruction, along with the party and luggage. The quote and confirmation use the complete movement. For an arrival, provide the flight, passenger contact, luggage and complete Godalming destination. Flight tracking supports the agreed meeting. The driver completes the journey at the booked address; the representative map point is not a set-down instruction.

05 — Godalming collections
Name Godalming or Farncombe and the final door
Godalming and Farncombe stations are separate rail handovers. For a home, business or town-centre call, provide the full property address and agreed entrance rather than a representative area point.
06 — Business and hospitality
Keep receptions and return legs in sequence
A working day may connect Godalming with Guildford, London or several Surrey appointments. Each stop should show the company or property, full address, reception and required arrival. Where one meeting has a fixed start, identify it clearly so the surrounding pickups and transfers can be planned around it. Hotels, dinners and private occasions need the reservation or organiser name, arrival entrance and expected finish. A retained driver may wait away from the door; for a later return, agree a public reunion point and keep one passenger contact available.
Send the travel date, pickup time, complete origin and destination, required arrival, passenger mobile, party size and luggage. Add Godalming or Farncombe station, the rail service, flight and terminal, reception or venue entrance as applicable. Put every intermediate stop in the order it will be made. FCET then checks the vehicle and schedule against the full instruction and confirms whether the service is one way, return or retained. Share material changes before travel so the chauffeur and passenger work from the same addresses and timings throughout the journey.
