Yoshikitty Posted August 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hello, friends will be soon on QM2 and would like to book a limousine Service from Southampton to Central London. He does not like taking the train or bus :cool: So far the offers have been excessive, any recommendations are welcome - thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadOfToadHall Posted August 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2017 http://www.smithsairportcars.co.uk/ We used them in June for a transfer from Heathrow to Southampton. £67. Cheap as chips ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieMacG Posted August 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It could be they are getting high quotes if they are using the word limousine. This implies high end luxury vehicle and may attract a premium price. If they simply want a private transfer then that's what they need to ask for. We are also booked with smiths £90 Southampton to Gatwick for an MPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njkruzer Posted August 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We're using Smiths on October for 3 people and luggage, Southampton to Heathrow £85, which I thought was reasonable. A friend recently went from Heathrow with another car service and paid more, 2 people, so this seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadOfToadHall Posted August 23, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Any idea of the cost to London city? Central London you mean ? (not London city airport I assume). I'd guess quite a bit more. It's only about 20 miles more, but a good hour extra. Maybe almost double would be my guess. You can request a quote online on their website.

I think a transfer is included in our fare but don't fancy coaches. May consider the train instead. Thinking comfort rather than cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I get upset carrying a laptop on the train ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebbieMacG Posted August 23, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The words Southern Rail and comfort do not go hand in hand I'm afraid and trains are generally very over crowded. If budget allows a private transfer is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Scrapnana Posted August 23, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 23, 2017 When I used Smith's from Southampton to central London in 2014 the cost was 112 pounds plus a 10 pound fee for going to central London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
