Your Portsmouth Taxi for the Historic Dockyard
Soton Cars covers the whole of Portsmouth, from the historic dockyard and the city centre out to Southsea, Gunwharf Quays, Cosham, Paulsgrove and the northern estates. Portsmouth is a big, spread-out city with genuine congestion, and the one thing worth knowing is that the quickest route is very often the one that avoids the city centre entirely, which is what our drivers will do.

Taxis In Portsmouth: Common Questions
Common questions about our taxi service in Portsmouth, Hampshire.
Allow about 40 minutes using the M27 at Junction 5, which avoids the Portsmouth conurbation almost entirely. A route through the city centre can add fifteen minutes or more at busy times, and our drivers use the M27 unless traffic says otherwise.
Yes, we drop at the dockyard entrance you specify rather than at a park and ride, which is what visitors usually need. Tell us whether you are going in, so we use the correct gate and the right side of the site.
Yes, the 8-seater and 16-seat minicoach both work well for Gunwharf Quays and the waterfront, with room for shopping bags and coastal gear. Parking on the waterfront is expensive and awkward, so a drop-and-wait hire is often the better option.
Yes, Southsea Common, the seafront, Southsea Pier and the Albert Road area are all covered at the same fixed rates as the rest of the city. On a hot weekend the seafront traffic is heavy, so allow a few extra minutes on the run in.
Yes, Cosham is minutes from the M27 and we run regular hospital transfers to Queen Alexandra. Book a return to match the appointment time, tell us if you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle, and the driver will wait if the clinic runs over.
