Fixed-fare service — what to expect
Fixed means fixed
The price you see online is the price you pay. No meter, no surge pricing during peak hours or bad weather, no surprise tolls. Includes parking and meet-and-greet on airport and cruise terminal pickups.
Pricing tiers explained
Airport transfers are fixed-price specials (Heathrow estate £128, Gatwick estate £148, etc.). Cruise transfers use the cruise tier (metered + £10 service fee) or the special Cruise Parkway tariff. Local jobs use the General formula (£5.80 base + £2.16/mi + £0.30/min) × vehicle multiplier. Long-distance over 50 miles uses the same General formula or Premium tier when a hotel is on the route.
Where uplifts apply
Pickup outside central Southampton (SO14–SO18) attracts a small uplift: Greater Southampton +£1.50, Outer Southampton +£3, Far Winchester edge +£5, Portsmouth area +£6, Basingstoke +£10, Salisbury +£12, Bournemouth +£15. Night (23:00–06:00) and weekend (Sat/Sun) add small per-vehicle surcharges on metered jobs.

Frequently asked questions
How is "fixed fare" different from a metered taxi?
A metered taxi charges per minute and per mile during the trip — bad traffic, road closures and long routes all raise the meter. Fixed fare quotes you the total before you book, based on average journey time. You pay the quoted number even if traffic is terrible on the day.
Is there ever an extra charge after booking?
Only if you change the booking after confirmation (extra stops, route change, longer wait time). The original quote stays fixed for the original itinerary. We confirm any change cost before we make it.
What about night and weekend surcharges?
Metered (general / cruise) fares apply small surcharges for night (23:00–06:00, +£3 to +£6 per vehicle) and weekend (Saturday/Sunday, +£2). Fixed airport prices include night and weekend operation at no surcharge.
How do I get a fixed fare quote?
Use the online booking tool on /book or any service page — enter pickup and drop-off, pick a vehicle, see the fixed quote. The number stays fixed once you confirm.
Do you charge a cancellation fee?
No cancellation fee if cancelled 4+ hours before scheduled pickup. Inside 4 hours we may charge 50% of the fare; inside 1 hour 100%. Cancellations due to flight cancellation are always free.
