Southampton airport & cruise transfers

Pre-book a private transfer between Southampton and Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton or Stansted. We collect from cruise terminals, hotels and homes, with a vehicle chosen for your passenger and bag count.

Heathrow saloon fares start from £134 per vehicle. Choose the direction, full addresses and pickup time to check your total before booking.

Prime Airport Transfer is a trading name of Rapid Airport Transfers, a licensed private hire operator based in Rickmansworth. These are pre-booked airport and long-distance transfers, not a Southampton taxi rank or local taxi service.

“The drivers were fine and the cars were clean but were late for both of my transfers. The excuse was traffic but other drivers had arrived on time for their customers, probably because they left earlier to cater for the traffic. I will choose a different company next time”

“Very happy with the service, the car was very clean, driver was on time and the route was optimal. Two things I want to especially mention. I was very pleasantly surprised how diligent the driver was, it not everyday you see driver uses indicators even at 4AM on a small street with no cars insight. The second thig was a bit of a scare, as usually drivers arrive close to 30 minutes earlier, I was a bit stressed if they were coming. This is all on me, as the driver was on time and all was great, so don't worry 🙂 I will definitely use them again for my travel. PS: I have only used them for a transfer to the airport, haven't tried the other direction yet.”

These are daytime saloon starting fares per vehicle. Larger cars, stops, early pickup times and holiday dates can change the quote. The booking form shows the total for your trip.

Cruise-terminal collection: the details to send

Southampton has five cruise terminals: Ocean, Mayflower, Horizon, City and QEII. Give us the ship, travel date and terminal from your current cruise-line instructions. The same ship can use a different terminal on another date.

The berth number is not a dock-gate number. Horizon is at berth 102, which identifies the berth rather than the port entrance. ABP's guidance uses Dock Gate 4 for Ocean and recommends Dock Gate 20 for Mayflower, with another approach via Gate 10. Your driver needs the instructions for the terminal and sailing, not a generic port entrance.

For a pickup after a cruise, use the time your party expects to leave the terminal with its bags. Disembarkation and baggage collection can continue after the ship docks. Your confirmation gives the meeting arrangements; call dispatch if you run late or cannot find the driver.

Check the ABP Southampton cruise schedule and passenger directions alongside your cruise-line documents.

Airport arrivals, luggage and flight connections

At Heathrow, meet your driver inside Arrivals with a name board. At Luton, meet in the designated Drop Off and Pick Up Zone on the ground floor of Terminal Car Park 2. At Stansted, meet in Express Set Down outside the terminal. Contact your driver for the agreed bay and vehicle details once you are ready. Enter the flight number so dispatch can check official arrival information and plan the collection. The airport waiting allowance is 60 minutes for international arrivals and 30 minutes for domestic arrivals; extra waiting follows the booking terms.

Choose a vehicle using the booking form's passenger, large-case and cabin-bag capacities. Four passengers with four large cases may need more than a saloon. Contact us about oversize cases, pushchairs or mobility equipment rather than assuming they fit.

Cruise-to-flight planning needs the cruise line's disembarkation slot, road time and the airline's required airport arrival time. For an airport-to-cruise connection, also allow for immigration and baggage. We cannot guarantee a connection after flight, ship or road delays.

Southampton Central trains and coach services offer alternatives. Compare the current schedule and the final transfer to your dock or airport terminal. A private transfer avoids changing vehicles with luggage; its value depends on your party and itinerary, not a blanket promise to beat rail prices.

Questions about Southampton cruise transfers

Which Southampton transfer do I book after a cruise?
Choose the airport on your flight booking and the cruise terminal on your disembarkation instructions. Use the route links for Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton or Stansted, then enter the full terminal and collection time.
Do your Southampton fares cover a whole car or each passenger?
The starting route fares are per vehicle. The quote uses your addresses, date, time, stops and chosen vehicle. Enter the passenger and bag numbers before selecting a car.
Is Southampton Airport the same place as Southampton cruise port?
No. Southampton Airport and the cruise terminals are separate locations. Enter the exact airport, terminal, hotel or address you need, rather than using Southampton as the whole pickup or drop-off address.
How do I find the correct port entrance for my ship?
Use your current cruise-line instructions and the terminal listed for your sailing. Ocean, Mayflower, Horizon, City and QEII use different port approaches. Send the ship and terminal to dispatch; a berth number is not a dock-gate number.
Can you collect locally within Southampton?
We provide pre-booked long-distance airport and London transfers. We do not offer short local trips from a cruise terminal to Southampton Central or a nearby hotel. Contact dispatch if your itinerary includes a separate airport-to-hotel transfer.
Can I book both airport and cruise transfers together?
Yes. Enter the outbound trip and add the return date and pickup time in the booking form. Confirm each direction using its own flight or disembarkation details. Do not reuse an airport landing time for a cruise collection.
Can you guarantee a flight or sailing connection?
No. Delayed flights, disembarkation, baggage collection and road traffic can affect a connection. Share the flight itinerary and cruise check-in deadline with dispatch before booking a tight transfer.
Do I need to choose an executive car for cruise luggage?
Choose by the capacities shown in the booking form, not the class name alone. An estate or MPV may suit a bigger luggage load. Call dispatch about large trunks, pushchairs or mobility equipment.
Can a Southampton hotel be the collection address for an airport trip?
Yes. Enter the full hotel address and the entrance where your party will be ready with its luggage. A city-wide route fare is a starting point; the booking form confirms the quote for the address and time.
Where can I check your cancellation and airport waiting terms?
Read the booking terms before confirming. Airport pickups include a waiting allowance of 60 minutes for international arrivals and 30 minutes for domestic arrivals; further waiting is subject to the terms. Call dispatch with questions about your itinerary.
