In short
The journey from Southampton cruise terminals to Cheltenham is 99 miles and takes 2 hr 5 min to 2 hr 25 min by road, via M25 to M4, then A419, or M40 to A40.
Landing at Southampton Cruise Terminal and heading for Cheltenham? It is 99 miles by road, roughly 2 hr 5 min to 2 hr 25 min, and a driver waiting in arrivals removes the part of the day most people dread — luggage, connections and a station you have never used.
The journey
Your driver takes you to the exact terminal your ship is berthed at and helps with luggage to the porters. If the flight moves, the pickup moves with it — you are not paying for a car that left without you.
The route runs M25 to M4, then A419, or M40 to A40 — 99 miles in total, around 2 hr 5 min to 2 hr 25 min depending on traffic and time of day. One driver, one car, no changes and no connections to miss.
One stop, usually Membury or Gloucester services. At 99 miles this is a single-leg run for most passengers, though we will stop whenever you ask.
We drop wherever you need in and around Cheltenham — Cheltenham Racecourse, the Regency town centre, GCHQ and Cheltenham Spa station are all regular destinations. Door to door, with luggage carried to the entrance.
Meeting you
Your driver takes you to the exact terminal your ship is berthed at and helps with luggage to the porters. We track your flight from take-off, so if you land early or late the pickup time moves with it. Southampton has five separate cruise terminals spread across the docks, and your ship is assigned a berth rather than a fixed terminal — the terminal on your ticket is the one thing to check before travel day.

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
2 hr 5 min to 2 hr 25 min, covering 99 miles. The lower figure is a clear run; the higher one allows for peak-time traffic.
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.
Directly at your destination address in Cheltenham. Festival week. Race days end with tens of thousands leaving at once, and a pre-booked car with a known driver and a set pickup point is worth more that afternoon than any other day of the year.
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 Southampton Cruise Terminal customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
