Yes, Portswood Road is one of our busiest pickup streets. Give us a shop name or a house number rather than a street, and we will set a meet point that works with the parking restrictions at that time of day.
Yes, and Portswood has a large student population through the university and the halls around it. We take airport, intercity and late-night bookings from the area, and students get a reduced rate on longer journeys.
Yes, our service runs 24 hours a day, and early and late shifts are a regular part of the work here. Book very early starts in advance so a car is reserved rather than hoping one is free.
