Car Return in Southampton

[mycruz]

Can anyone tell me if they know how far the Avis Car Return is to the pier that Princess cruiseline uses? Will it be within walking distance? We're thing to drop luggage off then return the car and walk back if it's not too far. I notice the address is the street that runs parallel to the port.

 

Thanks!

Unfortunately it's too far away to walk.

 

AVIS is just next to Holiday Inn Hotel at Gate 8 of the port which is closed.

So you have to walk all the way out.

 

There are two options:

 

1. EUROPCAR which is located in the IBIS Hotel and accept return at any time. It's located close to Gate 10 (Southern Road/West Quay Road).

 

Unfortunately PRINCESS normally call Mayflower Terminal and it's a walk about 20 minutes from the hotel to the terminal.

 

2. ENTERPRISE who will drop you off at the cruise terminal but only during their opening hours in the city (not airport location).

 

3. HERTZ also drop you off during their opening hours in the city (not airport location).

 

I hope that these information are helpful.
