What to expect
Travelling to InterContinental O2, your driver meets you at the Southampton Cruise Port passenger terminal with a name board, your sailing tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: waterview Drive gives the hotel its own approach clear of the arena traffic system; on show nights this matters more than anything else we can tell you.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Our drivers know the Greenwich Peninsula approach and the Southampton Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Between the InterContinental O2 lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
A named chauffeur with your board at Southampton Cruise Port, and a car at the door at InterContinental O2 — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
