Your Waterside Taxi, From Hythe Down to Fawley
Waterside taxis cover the regenerated waterfront quarter along Cundy Road and Belvidere Road, the Waterside business offices, and the Town Quay ferry terminals where the Red Funnel and Red Jet services to the Isle of Wight depart. We also run scheduled runs out to Cowes and Yarmouth, so a ferry arrival and an onward car can be booked as one journey.

Taxis In Waterside: Common Questions
Common questions about our taxi service in Waterside, Southampton.
Yes, we meet ferries at Town Quay as standard. Give us the sailing time and the vessel name and the driver will be on the pier concourse with a name board, and the car is waiting on the vehicle marshalling side so you are not left carrying bags across a footbridge.
The run from Waterside to Southampton Airport is about 15 minutes on the M27 to Junction 5, and we quote it as one fixed fare. Because the waterfront is only a few minutes from the docks, we can also cover a late disembarkation and an early flight on the same booking.
We do not sail vehicles to Yarmouth, but we carry foot passengers from Town Quay to Yarmouth and on to Newport, Ryde and Cowes. If you are travelling with a car, we meet you at the Cowes terminal after the vehicle sailing and take you on from there.
Yes, we invoice companies monthly with a full journey report rather than asking staff to pay for each trip. Fixed-price account rates can be set for the Waterside and Ocean Village business addresses, and the same account covers airport and cruise work.
Anywhere on Cundy Road, Belvidere Road or the parallel streets is fine, and we can use the flats and business entrances directly rather than a main-road meet. Give us a flat number or unit if that is easier than a street name, plus a phone number for the driver.
They run through the night. The last Red Jet and Red Funnel sailings finish late, so we take bookings until the last sailings are covered, and we also cover early morning departures from the same waterfront for the airport and the docks.
