What to expect
Travelling to The Standard, 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: argyle Street, the hotel’s own side, is far calmer than Euston Road; cars wait at the door and the ride out is planned around the one-way grid.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
A named chauffeur with your board at Southampton Cruise Port, and a car at the door at The Standard — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Our drivers know the King’s Cross approach and the Southampton Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
