Jancruz Posted December 1, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I know a few years ago I saw some great companies that pickup at the airport in London and take you to South Hampton.. Can some one post car companies that are reasonable and dependable.. BTW our daughter ordered us an Uber (two days before) for Thanksgiving because it was supposed to be pouring in LA and she didnt want Stu to drive (smart girl) and at the time they were supposed to be there it announced no cars available..Fortunately Stu and I could jump in our car and he could drive (slowly) to our daughters..I would never order an uber on a Holiday again!!

Mura Posted December 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2019 For the April 2018 NY-Southampton cruise I had booked a car for 3 couples with Woodford Cruise Connections. Ultimately we had to cancel but the others in our group did use their service. I found them extremely helpful in pre-cruise planning and they gave the best price I found. If you wish I can email the person who took over for me when we had to cancel to see what he has to say about them. Just another suggestion! For us the quote was 210GBP for 3 couples going to two hotels close to each other by Lancaster Gate and the third to Knightsbridge. That was a while ago, of course. Mura Woodford Chauffeur Cars Cruise Connection Service Woodford Cruise Connections is a subsidiary of Woodford Chauffeur Cars Ltd. Woodford Cruise Connections are an experienced company in the cruise transfer and tour business for the south of England.

DYKWIA Posted December 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Slightly further afield but still a quick journey would be the New Forrest area Chewton Glen and Lime Wood are probably the two that get the most plaudits and are definitely high quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no fuss travel Posted December 1, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2019 We stayed at Jury’s Inn Southampton. Rooms were nice and bed was comfortable.

alcpa1 Posted December 2, 2019 #13 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We stayed at Jury's in May. It is a moderately priced modern hotel that was clean and located in a quieter residential area. There are several decent restaurants near the park across from the hotel which worked well for our weary travel group. It is about a 15 minute taxi drive to the port.

Heartfelttraveler Posted December 2, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We stayed at The Pig In The Wall last July. If stairs are not a problem for you, this is a great little hotel. Opt for the largest room for a few dollars more. Breakfast is extra, but well worth it. There is lots to see within walking distance and lots of great restaurants. A short cab ride to the port.

ruthnlarry Posted December 2, 2019 #15 Share Posted December 2, 2019 We enjoyed staying at the Blue Keys Hotel https://bluekeyshotel.co.uk/ after reading their excellent reviews on TripAdvisor https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g186299-d210579-Reviews-The_Blue_Keys_Hotel_Bar_Restaurant-Southampton_Hampshire_England.html In addition to Smiths for Airports, we have been happy with transfers taken with https://www.blackberrycars.com/southampton-airport/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Smokeyham Posted December 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Depending on the time of year you might want to ask whether or not the hotel has air conditioning (many do not). I personally like the Premier Inn chain of hotels, which do have air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
