Areas We Cover

Southampton Airport details

Elite Cabs Dorset provides direct, pre-booked airport transfers to Southampton Airport from Wimborne, Poole, Bournemouth, Ferndown and surrounding Dorset areas. Southampton has a single terminal, and the drop-off and pick-up points sit only a short walk from the entrance. Every fare is fixed, with flight tracking and 30 minutes’ free waiting time after landing, subject to the booking terms.

Flying from elsewhere? We also run fixed-fare airport transfers to Bournemouth Airport, Heathrow and Gatwick.

At Southampton Airport

Southampton has one passenger terminal, so there is no terminal to confirm and nothing to work out on arrival. Drop-off and pick-up sit a short walk from the entrance.

FLYING OUT

Getting you there

Tell us your flight time and we work the pickup back from it. Southampton is a small, quick airport, so it usually needs less of a buffer than Heathrow or Gatwick — and if you would rather build in extra time, say so and we will set the pickup earlier.

COMING HOME

Collection after you land

Your flight is tracked, so a delay or an early landing is picked up without you having to call. Meet & Greet is included, with your meeting instructions confirmed as part of your booking, and your driver will help with the luggage.

Thirty minutes of free waiting after landing is included, subject to the booking terms, and Southampton Airport parking fees are already in the fare.

Our fleet & luggage capacity

A shorter run, but the luggage rules are the same. Tell us the passenger count and the cases and we will confirm the vehicle.

Standard Saloon

Southampton £85

1–4 passengers

2 large suitcases + 2 hand luggage

The standard choice for one to four passengers travelling with normal luggage.

Estate Car

Southampton £90

1–4 passengers

2–4 large suitcases + 2 hand luggage

Same passenger count, more room in the boot for larger cases.

Small MPV

Southampton £115

1–6 passengers

Up to 6 hand luggage, or 4 passengers with 4 large suitcases plus small bags

More seats, or fewer passengers with more luggage.

How to book a Southampton transfer

Journeys are arranged in advance. Sending a quote request does not confirm a booking on its own — the journey is booked once we have agreed the price and the time with you.

Tell us your journey

Pickup address, whether you are going out or coming home, the date and flight time, and how many passengers and cases are travelling.

Receive your quote

We confirm availability, the fixed fare and the pickup time, by phone, WhatsApp or email. Return legs are quoted at the same time.

Travel

Your driver arrives at the agreed time and takes you door to door — or meets you in arrivals when you land back at Southampton.

Why choose Elite Cabs for Southampton

Cheaper than leaving the car

The fare is the same for a weekend or a fortnight, while airport parking is charged by the day. For longer trips the sums usually favour being driven.

A short run, planned properly

Southampton is the closest full-size airport after Bournemouth. We set the pickup from your flight time rather than a standard slot.

You hear from us

Booking confirmed before you travel, and your driver in touch on the day. No guessing where the car is.

DBS-checked drivers

Pre-booked private hire. Travel with confidence with professional, DBS-checked drivers.

Travelling beyond the airport?

Southampton is also where a lot of Dorset journeys end up for reasons other than a flight. Pre-booked journeys can be arranged to the Southampton cruise terminals, hotels, railway stations and other destinations, subject to availability and confirmation.

Tell us the address and the time you need to be there and we will quote the journey before you book.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Elite Cabs recently for booking a trip to Heathrow from Wimborne with a return later.
On both occasions John was prompt and contacted us to confirm our bookings. He loaded our luggage for us and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. His driving was excellent and we were able to relax. I have no reservations in recommending him to others.We will certainly use him again.
