nyfeds Posted July 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2018 How easy/accessible is it to snag a taxi from Southhampton? Would it be wise to book ahead? Thanks! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted July 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Thank you! Are these taxis readily available at the dock without ringing ahead? There are plenty of taxis a short walk from the exit but a lot are self employed drivers and prone to overcharging you.If you phone Radio Taxis while you are collecting your cases they will send a taxi quickly. They text with the make and reg number of the car and where they are and they charge around one third less than the self employed drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShopperfiendTO Posted July 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 26, 2018 There was a healthy taxi stand without much of a wait when we disembarked on the later side of the disembarkation process. Unfortunately for us, we caught a grumpy driver who was hoping for a fare to Heathrow when we just wanted to get to the train station but we chalk this up to our bad luck.

Sorry you had such an experience. We are headed to Southampton Airport, so we may well get the same treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issyalex Posted July 31, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thank you! Are these taxis readily available at the dock without ringing ahead? I’d book a taxi if I were you as The taxis at Southampton port may charge you more than the taxi companies that you can book. Once you phone a taxi they are usually there within 10-15 mins and you can ask for a definite price. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Rosebery Posted August 1, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2018 We used Smiths for Airports in the opposite direction. Excellent. E mail them and they will give you a quote. Well worth the extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classiccruiser777 Posted August 1, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 1, 2018 This past May we used Express Airport Transport. The driver arrived at the Southampton terminal on time, the car was clean, the driver polite and attentive and we had an easy drive to Heathrow. The cost was £90 and I’d book them again.
