Cruise port taxis from Welwyn Garden City
Straight from your door to Southampton, Dover, Tilbury, Harwich or Portsmouth, in a vehicle big enough for the cases, at a fixed price set before you go.
We accept all major cards and digital payment methods.
Taxis to the cruise terminals
A cruise means plenty of luggage. Tell us how many cases are coming and we will match the vehicle: an estate takes three large cases, the MPV+ four, and a minibus keeps a bigger party together.
Southampton, Dover and Portsmouth are each around an hour and a half away on clear roads, so we agree a departure time that fits your boarding slot, and can quote for a car to collect you when the ship comes in.

Part of every port transfer
What you get without paying a penny more.
-
Fixed fare, long distance
A long run to the coast is priced once, before you travel, and traffic on the way does not alter it.
-
Room for the luggage
Give us the number of cases and we choose a vehicle with the space, so nothing ends up on someone's lap.
-
Free cancellation
If your sailing changes, cancel the booking and you pay nothing.
-
Pay by card
No cash changes hands; fares go on your card. Business accounts are invoiced once a month.
Trusted drivers, insured vehicles
Licensed drivers
Every driver holds a private hire licence and carries their badge in the car, so you always know who is driving you.
Enhanced DBS checks
Drivers are vetted with an enhanced DBS check before they take a single booking, and the checks are kept up to date.
Plated and insured
Each vehicle is tested, plated for private hire and insured to carry passengers, whether it is a saloon or a 16 seater.
Open around the clock
Book online, ring 01707 400400 or email the office. Somebody is on the phones at 4am on a Sunday as much as at noon.

Cruise transfer questions
Can you collect us when the ship docks?
Yes. Book the return along with the outbound trip, give us your disembarkation date, and a vehicle will be arranged for you.
Can we leave in the early hours?
Of course. We run day and night all year round, so a very early start for Southampton or Dover is fine.
How is the fare paid?
By card; we are entirely cashless. Business account holders receive a monthly invoice for their journeys.
What if there are six or more of us?
Our 8 seater minibus carries eight people and six large cases, and the 16 seater takes larger groups. The fleet page shows each vehicle's capacity.
Questions first?
Our phones are answered day and night. Call and the office will arrange everything.
