What to expect
Travelling to One Aldwych, 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: the hotel’s corner entrance faces the Aldwych crescent; cars stop within steps of the revolving door, clear of the Strand’s bus flow.
One Aldwych to Southampton Cruise Port or the reverse — the fixed fare from £196 holds either way.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Our drivers know the Covent Garden approach and the Southampton Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Between the One Aldwych lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.

Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book.
