Before you travel
Good to know about Portsmouth Port.
Getting to your terminal
We drop at the cruise terminal and the Continental ferry port. Cruise check-in about three hours prior; Brittany and Condor ferry check-in closes 45–60 minutes before — your driver aims the arrival at the open of check-in, not the crush before the gates close.
When to book
Cruise turnaround days and summer sailings sell out fast — book 48–72 hours ahead to secure an MPV or minibus for the luggage.
Security & check-in
Terminal screening and passport control for international sailings. We advise a pickup time that clears it comfortably.
Step-free & assistance
Step-free, assistance bookable — tell us if anyone needs a hand and the driver meets you at the most convenient point.
The return collection
Timed to your disembarkation group, or to the tracked ferry arrival. No standing on the quay wondering where the car is.
Luggage on embarkation day
Porters for cruise embarkation; ferry luggage is self-carried or loaded with the vehicle. Our estates and MPVs take a full cruise luggage set, so a fortnight’s cases travel in one car.
A Portsmouth Port transfer, done properly
Portsmouth International Port welcomes cruise ships and their thousands of passengers through cruise terminal · continental ferry port, and the end of a voyage is exactly the wrong moment to negotiate transport. Disembarkation is staggered, luggage arrives in waves, and the taxi queue outside grows faster than it moves. A pre-booked chauffeur removes all of it: your driver is at the terminal before you clear the gangway, tracking the ship rather than the clock.
The booking works the way it should. The fare is fixed when you book, with tolls and pickup fees inside it. Delays are absorbed automatically — we watch the sailing and move the pickup to match, with 45 minutes of complimentary waiting on top. Luggage is handled, child seats are free, and cancellation costs nothing up to 24 hours before pickup.
Transfers from Portsmouth Port start at £45 for a saloon; estates, executive cars, MPVs and sixteen-seat minibuses are priced the same transparent way. It is typically 5–15 min to portsmouth — door to door, one price, no meter running.
