Taxis In Portchester: Common Questions

Common questions about our taxi service in Portchester, Hampshire.

Yes, we use the closest sensible arrival point to the English Heritage entrance, and we collect from the same place afterwards. Castle parking can be tight on event days, so being dropped and collected is often simpler than moving the car twice.

About 20 minutes on the A27 to the city centre and the historic dockyard, at one fixed fare. We drop at the dockyard entrance you specify rather than at a park and ride, which is what most people want when they have a specific ship or attraction to reach.

Yes, Portchester station is a regular meet point on the Southampton to Portsmouth line. Give us the service time and the driver will be on the forecourt, and the fare stays the same if the train is late.

Yes, Portchester Lakes, the shoreline walk and the Gunwharf Quays waterfront are all easy to combine on a day hire, and the 8-seater or 16-seat minicoach carries everyone plus the beach gear. We quote one day fare with waiting included.

Yes, about 30 minutes on the M27 to Junction 5, and we set the pickup backwards from your check-in time so a 06:00 flight is not a gamble. Book in advance for very early starts because that is our busiest window.
