Banjo Posted March 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2016 We will be coming into Southampton from a trans-Atlantic on Silhouette next month. I am renting a car from the Southampton Inter. Airport then returning it at Heathrow. Any suggestions on getting from the Port to the Airport cheaply? Thanks, Banjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer Posted March 30, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Hi, Taxi, about £5-£10 or contact the car hire dealers and see if they will pick you up, some do. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted March 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Taxi to the airport will cost a great deal more than £5-£10. More like £15 pre-booked eg http://www.westquaycars.com or £20 from the rank at the cruise terminal. Or a 15-20 minute walk to Southampton Central train station, then frequent trains (every 10 to 15 minutes) take 10 mins to Southampton Parkway/Airport. Train fare £3.70. A taxi from the cruise terminal to Cental station costs about £7, so cost-wise if you take a taxi you might as well take it all the way (which you'll probably want to do anyway if it's raining ;)) Car rental booth is at the entrance to the short-term parking opposite the airport terminal. Guessing that this is an Avis rental, the others also have depots close to your cruise terminal JB :) Edited March 30, 2016 by John Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer Posted March 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi, JB is correct about the cost of the taxi, it cost me about £20 a few of years ago, don't know where my estimation came from. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblesqueaker Posted April 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks for the info. I've just contacted them as I think I'm going to book with them. Much cheaper than one on the airport site. Must use dearer petrol! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
