Private Transfers Between London & Southampton
As you can see from the map above the taxi transfer between London and Southampton passes several world class sightseeing opportunities, the most popular being Stonehenge. We have taxi transfers with a sightseeing stopover options as well as direct door to door car and charter coach services.
Most cruise ship passengers do not stopover in Southampton but go direct or from their cruise ship. Nearly all cruise ships disembark between 7am and 9am so Monday to Friday you will be travelling during the morning commute into London, so road congestion is likely.
If your travel party is more than eight passengers or you have more than eight very large cases it is likely a car will not be big enough. We have a range of Southampton mini-bus and charter coach transfer options which are very economical on a price per person basis.

Groups of More Than 8 Passengers
Passenger & luggage capacities of mini-buses and charter coaches
If you have more than 8 passengers in your group or more than eight large cases a car or van will not have the capacity to accommodate your Southampton transfer needs.
We offer the full range of vehicles from 12 seat mini-buses to 50-72 seat touring coaches but we also have access to vehicles half that size. With groups on cruises, luggage is often what drives vehicle choice rather than number of passengers. UK coaches are built to European traveller requirements, where one large case is perfectly adequate.
For the mini-buses there is a passenger capacity for up to 16 passengers and around 20 large cases on our specially adapted vehicles. For a group travelling with North American flight allowances a 50 seat coach with luggage capacity of around 60 cases will typically only be able to accommodate the luggage of 35 such passengers.
Quotations, planning and assistance for group bookings
Each group transfer tends to be unique and as a result we only take bookings by quotation after full requirements are understood and likely time-lines understood. The prices quoted below are indicative for your guidance and are not a firm offer.
We are experienced in receiving groups at cruise and airports and advising on multi- drop and pick-ups from hotels. If you require sightseeing we can arrange a professional guide whether it be an orientation tour of London or a niche interest of the group.
