mkolbicka Posted May 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2017 There will be 4 adults traveling from Heathrow to Southampton. Will have approximately 6 suitcases and 2 carryons. Has anyone used a private car service? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amias Posted May 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 2, 2017 We used Smiths for Airports. They were on time, reasonably priced (in comparison to rail fares plus taxi's to rail station) and professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNPGOLF Posted May 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 2, 2017 we are using https://airportstaxitransfers.com in August. Make sure you get a big enough vehicle. For a van that carries 6-7 its about 130 GBP each way. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted May 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 2, 2017 We used Smiths for Airports both to and from London. On the way back, we arranged for an excursion to Salisbury and Windsor Castle. Very pleased with their service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FritzG Posted May 2, 2017 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2017 We've used Simply Airports several times, and we've been very satisfied. We'll probably be booking with them for our September cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clmom Posted May 18, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2017 We used Smith for Airports for our LHR to Southampton travel. We've used them before. Very professional. Was waiting for us when we came out of Customs/Baggage Claim. Money well spent after a long and tiring flight. For return, we took a tour with International Friends. This time we went to Bath, Lacock and into London (although they do make a stop at Heathrow). Previously, we took the Salisbury, Stonehenge, Windsor tour with them. The one downside to going into London is the traffic. Oh my. We were not told that we would be transferred from our big coach bus to a small van once we reached London proper. From that transfer it took over 1 hour to get us to our hotel in Trafalgar Square. It made for a loooong day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempus137 Posted May 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 19, 2017 We used BlackberryCars. to go from Gatwick to Heathrow. Excellent service with great driver (Vasil). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbappel Posted May 19, 2017 #12 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I concur with Smith's. We also did a side trip to Winchester since our flight was quite late. It was only the two of us so we had a large sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
