We have been driving Cranleigh passengers to Southampton Cruise Terminal for over thirty years. The run is 64 miles, 1 hr 40 min to 2 hr 5 min in typical traffic, and every booking is quoted as a fixed price — no meter, no surge, no adjustment if the roads are slow.

The journey

How the 64-mile run works

  1. Pickup

    Your driver arrives at your address, or at a local landmark if that is easier — Cranleigh High Street, Cranleigh School and the village centre are all regular pickup points in Cranleigh.

  2. Out of town

    We leave Cranleigh on the A281 toward Guildford. Cranleigh has no railway station at all, which is precisely why so much of our work here is airport transfers rather than station runs.

  3. Motorway

    The route joins M25 Junction 10 for the run to Southampton cruise terminals, 64 miles in total.

  4. Arrival

    Southampton Cruise Terminal has 5 terminals — Ocean Cruise Terminal, Mayflower Cruise Terminal, QEII Cruise Terminal, City Cruise Terminal and Horizon Cruise Terminal. Tell us your flight number and we take you to the right one. Each terminal has its own vehicle drop-off directly beside the ship, inside the port gate.

Timing

When should you leave Cranleigh?

Working back from the airport: allow about 4 hours before a short-haul departure and 5 hours before a long-haul one. That is the journey at its slowest plus the standard two- and three-hour check-in windows.
