Eighty miles and about an hour and thirty-five minutes, and for us it is mostly a cruise route. Southampton's terminals swallow several thousand passengers on a turnaround morning, and arriving with a car booked to the correct terminal is worth a great deal on that particular day.
Cruise terminal transfers
Ocean, Mayflower, Queen Elizabeth II and City terminals are all different places, and the one you want is printed on your cruise documents. Give us the terminal name and the ship, and the driver takes you to that gate with your luggage — not to a car park half a mile away.
Coming home from a cruise
Disembarkation runs to a schedule that slips. Tell us your allocated time and we will build in a margin; our driver meets you at the terminal, helps with the cases, and gets you back to Bristol without the coach transfer and its four additional stops.
Luggage on a cruise booking
Cruise luggage is heavier than airline luggage because there is no weight limit to enforce it. Two people with two large cases and a suit carrier each need a Mini Bus, not a saloon, and it is much better to establish that at the booking stage.
Southampton Airport and the city
Southampton Airport (SOU) at Eastleigh, the city centre, the university and the hospital are all covered as fixed-price journeys, with flight monitoring where it applies.
Included on this route
- A fixed price agreed before you travel — no meter, no surge pricing

- Meet and greet inside the terminal, and help with the luggage

- Saloon, executive car, 8-seat minibus or 15-seater
Distances and journey times on this page are approximate and depend on traffic. Your fixed price is confirmed when you book.
