7seastourist Posted May 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Can anyone recommend a reliable, reasonable company that will transport a group of 4 from the airport to the pier? There seem to be a lot of negative reviews out there, which makes me leery of booking the unknown. Thanks much in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roses2 Posted May 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Smith's for Airports.com It is the only car service we use in the UK. Just used them after our Emerald TA. Less costly than Princess transfer and far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted May 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Woodford Chauffeur Cars. I've used them quite a few times for transport from Heathrow to London, London to the ship, ship to Heathrow, etc. Very reliable. http://www.woodfordchauffeurcars.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdngrl Posted May 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I used DJC private hire a few years ago. http://www.djcprivatehire.co.uk/ they picked me up at my London hotel and took me to Southhampton. I had requested a stop at Stonehenge and Salisbury on the way and had plenty of time at both. they are based in Southhampton. they were on time and drove safely with good conversation to boot. good luck!

No prices on their website. Theo Edited May 17, 2014 by Renmar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdngrl Posted May 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) theo, I think it was around 200 pounds. I shared with another, so only paid half. that was from London though. I think its shorter from heathrow to southhampton by-passing London. I looked at it as a shore excursion to Stonehenge. :) Edited May 17, 2014 by cdngrl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted May 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) I have used Ray's service for tours and transfers. I've also referred many other people to him and everyone has been really satisfied. He is VERY punctual, friendly, not obnoxious, drives very well (used to race cars) and you can count on him to be there when you want him there. http://www.london-transfers.com/ edited to add: And, his rates are clearly posted on his website.

capriccio Posted May 17, 2014 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Smith's for Airports.com It is the only car service we use in the UK. Just used them after our Emerald TA. Less costly than Princess transfer and far better. Agree. Last August DH and I were picked up (and returned to Heathrow) in a new Mercedes station wagon. Our flight arrived more than 1/2 hour early but our driver was waiting. If I remember correctly it was 76 pounds to Southampton and 71 return (the extra 5 was the wait fee at Heathrow). They were very easy to deal with via email and would use them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total cost was 78 pounds...no issues. DavidTravels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
