Find the right Southampton chauffeur

There are five cruise terminals in Southampton (City Cruise, Horizon, Mayflower, Ocean and QEII) and using which one depends upon your cruise line, and thus the journey. There are different locations in the dock area for those terminals and different routes for reaching there. Choosing the right terminal from your cruise line and including it in your booking is the single most important thing you can do.

Regarding cost, there is nothing to worry about as far as the city goes, for Southampton has opted to implement non-charge clean air zone policies, and hence there are no charges for driving. Portsmouth, situated twenty miles east of the city, is a popular destination that features a charging zone, which applies to private hire vehicles. Any zone applicable to your chosen route, together with tolls and airport fees, will be included in the quotation price you will get to compare.

Coverage spans the city, Winchester, the New Forest, Portsmouth and the coastline, with chauffeur hire available nationally, depending on how far the day goes. Chauffeur hire may also be quoted across the United Kingdom in case the journey commences from elsewhere.

By the hour or by the journey

By the journey suits a trip that involves a fixed run: chauffeur hiring from a hotel to the terminal, from the station to the office, from a home pick up before an early flight.

Hourly or daily booking is suitable for any type of journey that involves waiting. A sailing day with hotel accommodation both at the beginning and end of the day, a wedding, or a tour in the Forest: the chauffeur and vehicle are booked for the duration of the day.

Minimum durations are different with each chauffeur service provider, as well as waiting time, mileage allowances, and whether the same chauffeur serves throughout the entire day.

Choosing your class

Business XL is the people carrier in the range and holds either five passengers or six bags, which can be occupied by two cruise passengers. Business is the normal executive saloon that is appropriate to transport you to the airport and attend any meetings. Standard accommodates four passengers while First and Executive are the top saloons.

Beyond five passengers, there are multiple vehicles on one booking. Cruise bookings will require several vehicles hence it is better if you book them at once giving the total luggage weight rather than headcount.

What Southampton books a chauffeur for

This is the most defining transfer type in the area, and everything works according to the clock schedule. It means that there is a limited boarding period, a specific time when one ship turns into another and every customer comes in with two weeks of luggage. You need to book your transportation services according to cases, name the terminal and state the schedule time of your ship.

There are many people who prefer to leave their cruise ships early in the morning and continue to their destinations on flights. Both Heathrow and Gatwick airports are located about 75 and 90 miles respectively away from the city, so Southampton to Heathrow and Southampton to Gatwick trips are popular and need to be booked long before cruise travels.

Maritime, marine and energy industries make the bulk of business in Southampton and there is the business and client traffic related to the activities in the city.

Both destinations are considered to be day bookings rather than journeys, and the forest needs to be visited in an unhurried way without parking.

The airport can be found a few miles from the town in Eastleigh and for such a destination the best choice will be airport transfers in Southampton. Also, the journey from London to Southampton brings customers from the capital for cruises.

Book your Southampton chauffeur

Cruise holidays work on a rigid schedule and have too much baggage. Hence, it is the only reservation that needs to be made in advance. Autofusion enables you to compare all the details related to the class of the vehicle, its availability, pricing and terms against other selected partners with cost of pick up from ports and airports inclusive of the quotation.

FAQ

Southampton chauffeur: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your next chauffeur. Still curious? Our concierge team is one tap away.

Get confirmation from the cruise line and not from assumptions since Southampton has five of them and change their locations depending on the season and route. The terminal will depend on the booking.

Yes, and it is one of the most common long bookings we have here. Heathrow is about 75 miles, and Gatwick is about 90 miles. Always allow some margin of time because disembarking takes time as well as check-in at the airline.

Based on luggage and not passengers. Two individuals with a week and a half worth of luggage will be able to pack into six bags, and that is the maximum in one vehicle alone.

Not in the city. Instead of a charging zone, Southampton opted for no charge options. Portsmouth, which is twenty miles east of Southampton, charges private hire vehicles, but if your route is covered by such a charge, it is included.

Hourly, mile rate or minimum charge, depending on the partner. The price of a sailing day while waiting before and after can vary widely from that of a direct trip north to Heathrow.

Yes. Both the Forest and Winchester are day hires and not single trips, and thus hourly or daily hire fits better with them as the stops are the goal.

This depends on the partner and is listed separately in each case, not as standard.

A transfer is one trip from a set start point to an end point. Chauffeur hire is time hire. For a direct trip to the airport or the terminal, a transfer is easier and cheaper.
