We have been driving Ripley passengers to Southampton Airport for over thirty years. The run is 54 miles, 1 hr 10 min to 1 hr 30 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
Your driver arrives at your address, or at a local landmark if that is easier — Ripley High Street, the village green and RHS Wisley are all regular pickup points in Ripley.
We leave Ripley on the A3. Ripley sits directly on the A3 beside Wisley, so the run to Junction 10 is a matter of minutes in either direction.
The route joins M25 Junction 10 for the run to Southampton Airport, 54 miles in total.
Southampton Airport is a single-terminal airport, so arrival is straightforward. Drop-off sits immediately outside the terminal building.
Timing
Working back from the airport: allow about 3 hours 30 minutes before a short-haul departure and 4 hours 30 minutes before a long-haul one. That is the journey at its slowest plus the standard two- and three-hour check-in windows.

Premium business travel with extra legroom and a polished finish.
Top-tier luxury for special occasions, red-carpet arrivals and VIP guests.
Spacious group travel for up to 8 passengers with luggage.
On the road
In their words
“Booked a chauffeur for an early airport run and the car was outside five minutes before pickup. Smooth, quiet journey and the driver knew the fastest route around the roadworks.”
“We use XLNC Cars for client visits regularly. The vehicles are always spotless and the drivers are properly turned out — it reflects well on us, not just them.”
“Hired the VIP car for a wedding and it made the whole day feel special. Punctual, professional, and the driver waited patiently through the photos.”
Good to know
1 hr 10 min to 1 hr 30 min, covering 54 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic. Ripley sits directly on the A3 beside Wisley, so the run to Junction 10 is a matter of minutes in either direction.
We quote a fixed price before you book, based on the vehicle class and the time of travel, and it does not change if the traffic is bad. Call 01483 310310 or send the journey details through the booking form for a firm figure.
Drop-off sits immediately outside the terminal building. It is a short hop from the cruise terminals, which is why a large share of its traffic is passengers connecting to or from a ship rather than flying onward.
We track it. Your driver's pickup time moves with the flight, so a delay does not mean a missed car or a second fare. For departures, tell us your flight and we work the pickup back from it.
Yes — returns are booked at the same time as the outbound and quoted together. Most Ripley customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
