Taxis In Highfield: Common Questions
Common questions about our taxi service in Highfield, Southampton.
Yes, Highfield is our biggest student area and we run term-time airport and intercity transfers, late-night returns, and moving-day transport. Students are eligible for a reduced rate on longer bookings, and we are on call through every reading week and exam period.
Yes, and an MPV or a minibus is the right vehicle for a room's worth of boxes and kit. Book the slot for your arrival window rather than a single time, because hall check-in queues are unpredictable, and we will wait while you queue.
About 20 minutes on the A335 and the M27 to Junction 5, at one fixed fare. A busy departure period on the A335 is the usual cause of delay, so for a morning flight we allow a sensible buffer rather than quoting the bare minimum.
Yes, and that is a large part of our Highfield work. We take bookings until the last events finish, and we would always recommend booking in advance for Friday and Saturday nights when demand peaks after midnight.
Yes, the hospital is minutes away on the A335 and we run regular transfers there, including appointments that start very early. Book a return to match the appointment time and tell us if you need help to the door or an accessible vehicle.
