CPADWJ Posted February 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Our cruise on the Queen Victoria is scheduled to arrive at the Southampton Ocean Terminal. What car rental services are available that we might walk to, or who will deliver the car to the terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWB.ESQ Posted February 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We have always rented from National/Eurocar, which is on West Quay Road. I believe it is the closest location. We chose them because they have favorable rates on one-way rentals, and a reliable online reservation system. We have always flown in, picked up at either Glasgow or Heathrow, and dropped off at Southampton. I take my wife and our luggage to the terminal, return the car, then (depending on weather) walk or take/share a taxi back to the terminal. It's about a mile level walk, or a 1.4 mile drive, due to one-way traffic patterns. I did ask about pickup/dropoff service many years ago, and my recollection is that it was not offered. If we were arriving by ship and renting a car, I'd simply have a taxi take us and our luggage from the terminal to the car rental depot. I would certainly make my reservation in advance. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted February 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We have used Europcar at West Quay Road many times and would agree they are reliable and nearby. We also just take a taxi from port to depot - or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwatr Posted March 1, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 1, 2014 It's about a 5 Pound cab ride to the West Quay Road car rental offices. Money well spent vs. walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
