Frequently Asked Questions

How much does minibus hire in Southampton cost?
Minibus hire in Southampton is quoted as a fixed per-vehicle fare based on distance and duration, which normally works out cheaper per person than booking several separate taxis. The airport fares are published on this page: Heathrow is £140 for an MPV and £170 for a 16-seat minibus, and Southampton Airport is £25 and £40. Call 02380 333 000 with your passenger count, luggage and route for a quote on any other journey.
Do you run a 6-seater or 7-seater taxi in Southampton?
Yes. Groups of five to seven travel in our MPV or the 8-seater minivan, and it is the same booking: tell us the passenger count and luggage and we send the vehicle that fits, at one fixed per-vehicle fare.
Can I book an 8 passenger taxi in Southampton?
Yes, an 8 passenger group travels in the 16-seat minibus with room to spare for luggage, or across the 8-seater minivan plus a second vehicle for very large luggage loads. The fare is per vehicle and fixed when you book, with Heathrow at £170 for the minibus.
Is minibus hire with a driver, or can I hire one self-drive?
Every Soton Cars minibus comes with a licensed private hire driver. We do not offer self-drive hire: the driver handles the route, the parking and the timings, and the vehicle is covered under our private hire licence for your journey.
Will 8 passengers and their luggage fit in one vehicle?
Eight passengers with cabin bags fit the 8-seater minivan; eight passengers each with a large hold case are better in the 16-seat minicoach, which takes the group and the luggage without folding seats down. Tell us the case count when you book and we will size the vehicle honestly.
What is the maximum group size you can accommodate?
We can accommodate groups up to 16 passengers in a single minibus, or larger groups with multiple vehicles. 6-seater, 8-seater and 16-seater options are available.
Is there a minimum booking for a minibus?
We recommend a minimum of 6 passengers for a minibus booking to keep the cost per person competitive, though we will quote any group size you send us so you can compare options.
Do your minibuses have room for luggage?
Yes, all our minibuses have luggage capacity suited to a full passenger load, which matters for airport, cruise and university trips where everyone brings a suitcase. Tell us your luggage count when booking.
Can you take 9 passengers?
Yes, 9 passengers fit comfortably in our 16-seat minibus with space for their luggage. We size the vehicle to your booking rather than sending a smaller one that will not fit the group.
How do I book a minibus?
Call Soton Cars on 02380 333 000, book online, or send the group details on WhatsApp. Group bookings are taken 24/7 and we confirm the vehicle, capacity and fixed fare in writing before the journey.
