All bookings are pre-paid online by card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). Stripe converts at the live exchange rate at checkout β you see the GBP price up front with no FX surprise. No cash needed anywhere on the journey; the driver receives a paid GBP receipt for your travel records.
Can I add a Stonehenge or Windsor stop on the way?+
Yes β booked as a sightseeing-transfer (Heathrow β Stonehenge β Windsor β Southampton). Adds ~5 hours to the day, fixed price by vehicle class. Popular with US Cunard QM2, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Celebrity and Oceania passengers on embarkation day.
Can I book the embarkation and disembarkation transfer together?+
Yes β both legs can be booked online in one transaction with the same fixed-price guarantee. The disembarkation leg uses AIS ship tracking so the driver meets you at the actual dock time rather than the scheduled one. First 60 minutes of dockside waiting is free.
