Surrey to the Port of Southampton
XLNC Cars runs Southampton cruise transfers from Surrey to all 5 terminals, with one fixed fare agreed before you sail. From Woking the port is 64 miles, typically 1 hr 25 min to 1 hr 45 min, and Farnham is 46. The pickup is planned around your allocated arrival time, the boot takes the cruise luggage, and we collect you on disembarkation day.

The service

Questions
The one on your cruise ticket or confirmation email. Southampton has 5 cruise terminals: Ocean, Mayflower, QEII, City and Horizon. Check this sailing's paperwork, not last time's, and send us the name.
64 miles by road, typically 1 hr 25 min to 1 hr 45 min. We plan the pickup back from your allocated arrival time with real margin: a missed sailing cannot be rebooked like a flight.
It depends on your pickup, the class (Standard Saloon, Executive, VIP and Minibus) and whether you add the return. We do not publish prices. Send the details on WhatsApp, the form or 01483 310310 and we reply with one fixed fare, agreed before you travel.
Yes, and it is worth booking with the outbound. Passengers leave the ship in groups, so we time your pickup to your disembarkation group rather than to the ship docking.
The Minibus carries up to 8 passengers with luggage. Tell us how many cases: on cruise transfers the luggage decides the vehicle more often than the passenger count.
Yes, in both directions: Heathrow or Gatwick to the terminal on sailing day, and the terminal to the airport after disembarkation. The airport leg is flight-tracked, so a delayed landing moves the pickup.
The one for your terminal. The Port of Southampton lists Dock Gate 4 for the Eastern Docks (Queen Elizabeth II and Ocean) and Dock Gates 10 and 20 for the Western Docks (Mayflower, Horizon and City).
On the day
A clean car at the door, a driver who handles the cases and a calm run to the port.
Send the sailing date, the terminal and the pickup address. We reply with a fixed fare, out and back.
