How much is a taxi for a Southampton student?

Local university and halls journeys in Southampton start at £12 on a fixed fare, with no surge during freshers' week, open days or graduation. Airport and long-distance runs home are fixed fares too.

Can you handle student move-in and move-out days?

Yes. MPVs take a full term's worth of luggage with no extra charge for bags that won't fit in a saloon — ideal for move-in, move-out and end-of-term runs home.

Do you offer group transport for students?

We do. MPVs seat up to seven and an 8-seater minibus carries a group of friends to the airport, the station or home at the end of term — one vehicle, one agreed fare.

Are late-night student pick-ups safe?

Yes. All drivers are DBS-checked, vehicles are comprehensively insured and the named driver and fare arrive by email before the pickup — so students know exactly who's collecting them.

Can parents book a taxi for their son or daughter from abroad?

Absolutely. Parents book from anywhere in the world using our online quote form — the student receives driver and vehicle details by email, and a fixed fare holds regardless of traffic.
