Why pre-book vs train?

South Western Railway London-Southampton is ~75 minutes platform-to-platform. Pre-booked taxi is door-to-cruise-terminal — no luggage transfer at Waterloo, no taxi at the other end. For cruise passengers with full luggage (typically 2–4 cases per person), pre-booked taxi is dramatically less stressful.

Vehicle options

  • Saloon — 4 passengers, 4 cases, from £180
  • Estate — 4 passengers, 6 cases, from £200
  • Executive Mercedes E-Class — from £230
  • 8-seater Mercedes V-Class — group + full luggage, from £240

What you can book for London

Saloon

8-seater MPV

  • Mercedes V-Class or Vito

Single-vehicle transport for groups of up to 8. Common on hen and stag bookings, sports teams, family airport runs and corporate group transfers.

Chauffeur

  • Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series
  • Suited driver
  • VIP and wedding work

Flagship class for VIP travel, weddings, premium events and corporate visiting directors. Hourly hire from 4 hours minimum or fixed-route.
