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...

TIA As you'll see in the thread above, others have booked with them since @Crown Vic reported this. Don't know that anyone has actually ridden with them since then, but they've been responsive to my inquiries. Don't sweat it. 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...
