Taxis In West Quay: Common Questions
Common questions about our taxi service in West Quay, Southampton.
We pick up from the West Quay forecourt and the service roads behind the shopping centre, and we can meet you at a named entrance or a specific office. Because the area has pedestrianised sections and one-way systems, the driver will confirm the exact point with you before the booking.
For one or two people going to the airport or the docks, a car is faster door to door than a shared bus and saves the wait for other passengers. For a large group or a very cheap budget journey, a bus may still win, and we will say so honestly if you ask.
About 18 minutes on the M27 to Junction 5, at one fixed fare including the airport charge. For a morning flight we set the pickup from your check-in time so the city centre traffic does not make you late.
Yes, we set up monthly invoiced accounts for the offices around West Quay with a full journey report, and fixed account rates beat the standard per-trip rate. The same account also covers the airport, the cruise terminals and the docks.
Yes, we drop as close to the entrance as the access rules allow, which on shopping days may be a service road rather than the main forecourt. Tell us which shop or office you are going to and the driver will use the nearest sensible point for luggage.
