The day-out brief
Travel to Bath keeps the collection, admission timing, passenger handover and return in one chauffeur plan.
01 — Arrival plan
The approach and set-down for Bath
Bath is a historic city in Somerset, and this visit uses Charlotte Street car park as its single named central arrival. The driver follows the city route to the Charlotte Street and Queen Square Place entrance rather than aiming at a pedestrian landmark. Passenger handover takes place inside the public car park, leaving central loading restrictions and pedestrian streets out of the plan.
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 — During the visit
Retained car or drop and collect at Bath
Any admission in the city is named before travel, and the collection window includes the walk back to Charlotte Street. A retained car covers a defined waiting itinerary; drop and collect creates two movements. Neither assumes waiting at the visitor entrance.
Pushchairs, walking aids, day bags and cases are declared together; a retained car keeps luggage only under the agreed waiting plan. Passengers look after items taken inside. Drop and collect returns to the agreed point inside Charlotte Street car park after the lead passenger confirms readiness.
03 — 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.

The booking team confirms where a retained vehicle may wait and how the later collection is coordinated; neither option promises kerbside waiting at an active visitor entrance.
