Cruise and ferry transfers usually mean an early start, a full car of luggage, and a departure time you can't be late for — which is exactly the job a pre-booked, fixed-fare transfer is built around. Our published saloon/estate fares are Southampton £240 and Portsmouth £250, both plus the £5 pickup/drop-off charge; Dover is quoted on request. Minibus (8-16 seat) group fares are confirmed once we know your passenger count and luggage.
For families or groups travelling to the same cruise, a minibus keeps everyone and their luggage together in one vehicle rather than splitting across two or three cars for an early-morning departure.

It depends on your group size relative to minibus capacity — cruise luggage tends to be heavier than a typical airport case. Tell us your passenger and case count and we'll size the vehicle correctly, which may mean booking one seat down for a full-luggage group.
Our drivers typically route via the M25 and the M3 for Southampton, or the M27 for Portsmouth, which is the standard road approach for private hire traffic heading to either port from this direction.
Given the fixed check-in windows for cruise departures, we recommend booking as soon as your cruise or ferry date is confirmed, and at least 2 to 4 weeks ahead for peak cruise season sailings.
Yes, early-morning port transfers are a regular booking for us — mention your required arrival time at the port and we'll confirm a pickup time with a traffic buffer.
For groups of 6 or more travelling to the same port, one minibus is almost always cheaper than booking multiple separate taxis, and keeps luggage and passengers together for an early departure rather than splitting across cars.
Cruise disembarkation and coach transfer times can shift, so tell us your expected return window when you book the return leg and we'll confirm the pickup closer to the date rather than assume a fixed time.
