Car Service from London to Southhampton

[Murphey]

We would normally just take the train, however, we will be a party of 6 with luggage and I'm wondering if there is a car service for all of us that would be better/more convenient. Thank you.

We used smithforairports last year and thought they were great and had good prices. Oh, by the way, they're not just for airports...we used them for a trip between Southampton and Dover.

 

Great service, on time, no problems and we will use them again.

Thanks for your quick reply...we will look into them!!!

We needed a large van transport from Tilbury (near London) to Southampton last year and one of our party made excellent arrangements with Britishairportcars.co.uk .

We all were really pleased with the service. Our driver showed-up on time, took care of loading all of our luggage (we had a lot) and gave us a nice ride the few hours to Southampton.

I would get in touch with a Southampton based service, such as west quay; as they will likely be 20-30% cheaper than a London based service.

 

(and I beat our Romsey lad to it...)

 

That being said, there are some ridiculous fares available on the train from http://www.megatrain.com , who have some carriages on some trains from Waterloo; and/or the slower train from Victoria (Southern Rail), which has had some really good 4 for the price of 2 http://www.southernrailway.com/tickets-and-fares/railcards-and-discounts/groupsave/ type deals.

Many thanks for all the options!! You were very helpful!

:p ;)

 

Smiths & West Quay receive good reviews on this site.

We use

http://www.advancedairportcars.co.uk/ (note their quoted prices cover both pre & post-cruise journeys, e-mail them for a one-way price).

All three are local.

 

London or airport-based companies prices range anywhere between competetive & rip-off.

 

Whilst airport specialists tend to know the score, do make a point of stressing the amount of luggage you'll have - there are limos which will comfortably carry 6, but only if you leave your luggage behind. :rolleyes:
