irisbax3 Posted June 7 #2 Share Posted June 7 Last July, we used Jewel Airport Transfer from the ship to London. They were easy to communicate with and were very dependable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Vic Posted June 10 #3 Share Posted June 10 Lots of stuff on the ‘Ports of Call - British Isles’ site. Used aquacars.co.uk, late last year, from Southampton to a hotel near Heathrow. £140. Price into London will be higher. Good luck… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrhdhd Posted June 11 #4 Share Posted June 11 I used Blackberry Cars last month (and had used them for prior trips). Drivers on time and courteous, cars okay, worth the cost (to me). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phabric Posted June 12 #9 Share Posted June 12 Not a private car service, check out International Friends. They only go on embarkment and disembarkment days. They pick up at Southampton dock, stop at Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor then dropped off at the door of certain London and Heathrow hotels. I have taken them from Southampton and Dover. www.internationalfriends.co.uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a consolation prize, in Southampton, have a pint for me at the Duke of Wellington on Bugle Street. Cheers… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sound terrific, and what we consider a reasonable price. Like I wrote, it is a great way to see another part of Britain on the way to London and being dropped off at your London hotel or LHR hotel. When I took the Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor tour, at Windsor when we returned to the Coach, they had moved the luggage of the people going to a London hotel to a van. The van dropped each person off at the door of their London hotel. They do not stop for lunch. I purchased a sausage roll and drink at Stonehenge. At Salisbury, the guide walked us to the Cathedral and were told the time to return the Coach. At Stonehenge, the guide gave us our ticket and told us the time to return to the Coach and where to get the bus to the stones. There is a small cafe to purchase food and bathrooms. At Windsor, walked us to the entrance for groups and told us time to return to the Coach. You go through security screening like at the airport, belts off, empty pockets. After entering the grounds, you can pickup free audio headphones. There are bathrooms on the grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
