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.”

Whichever your airline uses — Ocean Cruise Terminal, Mayflower Cruise Terminal, QEII Cruise Terminal, City Cruise Terminal and Horizon Cruise Terminal. Give us your flight number when booking and the driver takes you to the right one. 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.
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 Woking customers book both legs at once, and the same driver often covers them.
