Gatwick Airport to Southampton, via the M25 and M3.

Gatwick to Southampton is about 90 miles and roughly 107 minutes, west along the M25 and down the M3. Minicabees has an office in Southampton, so this is a route our drivers run in both directions every week. Fixed fare here, or call +44 20 8050 9020.

The Gatwick to Southampton route

M23 north to the M25, west to junction 12, then the M3 south west and in on the A33. Around 90 miles and about 107 minutes. Almost all motorway, which makes it a comfortable and fairly predictable long run.
We have an office at Figflex, Office 14 The Bulb on Nelson Gate in Southampton, so this is not an occasional long-distance job for us. Our drivers cover it regularly, and we hold cars at both ends.

What tends to affect the time

M25 junctions 7 to 12

The western section, and the main source of variability.

M3 around Winchester

Slow in the morning peak northbound and the evening peak southbound.

The A33 into the city

The final approach, and busy through the working day.

Cruise turnaround days

When several ships sail on the same day, traffic around the docks and the city centre changes noticeably.

Where we drop off in Southampton

The cruise terminals

A separate destination with specific gates. If you are joining a ship, book the cruise port rather than Southampton generally and tell us the terminal.

Southampton Central station

Designated set-down on the forecourt.

The city centre and Above Bar

Straightforward outside the pedestrianised sections.

The university and the general hospital

Both have their own access roads and are easy to reach.

Practical details

Your driver meets you inside arrivals at your Gatwick terminal holding a name board. Meet and greet is optional. Without it, your driver phones you on arrival to agree a pickup point. We track the inbound flight so a delay moves your pickup, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
On a journey of this length an MPV is more comfortable for four people with luggage than a saloon, and for a family or a group heading for a cruise, the eight seater takes the hold bags without a second car.

Frequently Asked Questions

We charge a fixed fare for every Gatwick to Southampton taxi journey. You see the total price before you book, with no meter running and no hidden extras. Parking, tolls and congestion charges are included in the quoted price.

Book the cruise port specifically rather than Southampton, and tell us the terminal. The terminals are spread around the docks and the gates matter.

Around 107 minutes for roughly 90 miles by the M25 and M3. It is nearly all motorway, so it is one of the more predictable long runs we do.

Yes. We have an office at Figflex, Office 14 The Bulb, Nelson Gate, and run this route in both directions regularly rather than treating it as a one-off long-distance job.

It means going into London and back out, which with luggage is slow. For two or more people, or anyone with cruise baggage, the direct car is usually the better call.

We track it and move the pickup to your actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting included and 20 pounds an hour pro rata after that.

Yes, and we hold cars locally, so an early departure does not mean a driver coming all the way from Gatwick to get you.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
