Derby season

Make Derby week an arrival, not a commute

Derby week is more than two minutes on Saturday. Thunder Over Louisville opens the Kentucky Derby Festival in April, then Thurby, the Kentucky Oaks and the Derby fill Churchill Downs on Thursday, Friday and the first Saturday in May, with galas, brunches and bourbon in between. Traffic around the track is slow, parking is scarce and the dress code is serious, which is exactly why our Derby clients book a car instead of a rideshare.

Pick the experience that fits your week: a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder or Maserati MC20 Cielo to drive between parties, a chauffeured Rolls-Royce Ghost or Escalade ESV to the gates of Churchill Downs so nobody worries about parking, or the Mercedes Sprinter party bus for a group of up to twenty. Our chauffeurs handle the race-day traffic and the drop-off so you walk straight in.

Ideal for

  • Kentucky Oaks and Derby day at Churchill Downs
  • Thurby and Derby week parties
  • Derby galas and brunches
  • Corporate hospitality groups
  • Out-of-town guests arriving at SDF
  • A supercar for the whole week
