Taxi
from the Cruise Terminal
If you are catching a train or bus out of Southampton you will need
to use a taxi.
The train and bus stations are within 300m of each other.
We have detailed information about train and bus options from Southampton
to Central London, Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, (see links at foot
of this section).
Taxi cabs are predominantly white in colour with a 'taxi' sign on
the roof. Fares within Southampton are metered. If you want to go
further afield it is wise to prebook your transport in advance, or
at least agree the fare before boarding the vehicle.
The standard local taxi cabs are normal European style saloon cars,
able to carry 4 passengers only, (see picture). If you are large you
will be in discomfort trying to seat 4 people. The boot may only take
3 large cases, smaller than North American cars.
Taxi ranks are orderly with a queuing system.
Mayflower & City Terminals
In 2008, fare
to the railway and bus stations was around 6.00 GBP.
The Mayflower terminal taxi rank is immediately outside the terminal
and only partially exposed to the elements. The City Cruise Terminal
is about a 75m walk from the exit to the customs/baggage hall and
there is little/no shelter.
Queen Elizabeth Terminals
In 2007, fare
to the railway and bus stations was around 7.50 GBP from QE2 Terminal.
The taxi rank is totally indoor and sheltered. |
