The booking system calculates each price from the actual driving distance and expected journey time for your trip, then adds the airport fee. You see the full breakdown before you confirm, and the price you confirm is the price you pay. Book the return at the same time and the return leg is 5% cheaper.

Getting to Southampton Airport

Southampton Airport is in Eastleigh, north of the city centre, right by junction 5 of the M27. It has one compact terminal, mainly for domestic and short-haul European flights, so drop-off is quick. Allow about two hours before departure unless your airline says otherwise.

Arriving at Southampton: Your Pickup

Add your flight number when you book. We track the flight and you get one hour of free waiting from the time it actually lands, so a delay in the air or a slow passport queue doesn’t cost you anything extra. Your driver’s details and contact number come with your booking confirmation.

Southampton Airport Taxi or Train?

Southampton Airport Parkway station is next to the terminal, with trains to Southampton Central, Winchester and London Waterloo. For one person going to a station, the train is good value. A taxi suits cruise passengers, families, groups and anyone heading somewhere the train doesn’t reach directly.

Taxis to Southampton Airport Across Hampshire and Dorset

Southampton Airport is the nearest airport for much of Hampshire and the New Forest. From Eastleigh and Chandler’s Ford it is only minutes away. From Winchester it is a short run down the M3, and from Portsmouth and Fareham the M27 brings you to the airport in around half an hour outside rush hour. Bournemouth, Salisbury and Basingstoke are all within an hour or so.

Every price is calculated from the actual route when you book, with the airport fee included, so you know the cost before you confirm.

Long-Distance Transfers from Southampton Airport

We also run longer transfers from Southampton Airport to London, Heathrow and Gatwick, for travellers connecting to long-haul flights or heading into the capital. A saloon from Southampton Airport to London Victoria is £153.17. For groups, the people carrier and 8-seater bring the cost per person down considerably.

Early Flights and Late Arrivals

Add your flight number when you book. For early departures, book at least a day ahead. For arrivals, the driver works to your real landing time, with one hour of free waiting once the flight lands.
