Frequently Asked questions
Everything you need to know about our Southampton Cruise Terminal, Southampton SO14 2AQ, UK transfer service.
QHow much does a taxi from Heathrow Airport to Southampton Cruise Terminal cost?
A saloon is £169, an estate £195, an MPV for four £219, a six-seater MPV £303 and an eight-seater £336. An executive car is £270. Every price is fixed when you book — no meter, no surge, and no charge for a delayed flight. The price is per vehicle, not per person, so four people pay what one would.
QHow long does the transfer from Heathrow Airport to Southampton Cruise Terminal take?
About 2 hours 20 minutes for the 114 km, mostly on the M3. Allow longer on Friday afternoons and during summer holiday weekends. Your driver watches the traffic and will take the A34 or M27 alternative if the motorway is blocked — the one journey nobody wants to rush is the one ending at a ship.
QCan I book a 6-seater or 8-seater for this route?
Yes. The six-seater MPV is £303 and carries 6 passengers with 5 large cases plus 5 cabin bags; the eight-seater is £336 and carries 8 passengers with 7 large cases plus 7 cabin bags. Cruise luggage is bulkier than airport luggage, so size the vehicle on your cases rather than your headcount — with 8 people and 8 large cases you need a 12-seater minibus, not the 8-seater.
QAre child seats available for this transfer?
Child seats are free in any MPV, and an estate can take one for a £10 supplement. Saloons and executive cars cannot carry a child seat at all, so if a child is travelling choose an MPV or an estate. We carry rear-facing infant carriers (0–13 kg), forward-facing child seats (9–18 kg) and high-back boosters (15–36 kg) — tell us the weight when booking and the right one is fitted before you are collected.
QWhat is included in the price?
The fixed fare, meet and greet inside the terminal with a name board, flight tracking, and free waiting after you land. Nothing is added for a delayed flight, extra traffic or a terminal change. There is no per-bag charge within the vehicle capacity, and no card fee.
QWhat happens if my flight into Heathrow is delayed?
We track your inbound flight and move the pickup to the actual landing time at no extra charge. This matters more on a cruise transfer than on any other journey, because the ship sails whether you are aboard or not — it is the main reason passengers book a car rather than a coach with a fixed departure.
QWhich Southampton terminal will you take me to?
All of them — City Cruise Terminal (Berth 101), Ocean (46/47), QEII (38/39), Mayflower (106) and Horizon (102). Tell us your ship or your berth when booking. The terminals are spread across the docks and arriving at the wrong one with luggage costs you an hour you may not have.
QIs the price fixed or metered for this route?
Fixed at the moment you book. No meters, no surge pricing and no hidden charges — the price you are quoted is the price you pay, and free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before pickup.
