Direct, fixed-fare taxi from Heathrow to Portsmouth. We meet you at Heathrow arrivals, monitor your flight and deliver you door-to-door to the city centre, the Historic Dockyard, the ferry port or any address. No meter, no surge.
A Heathrow to Portsmouth taxi covers around 70 miles and takes about 80 minutes in normal traffic. Whether you're flying into Heathrow for a day at the Historic Dockyard, a ferry from Portsmouth International Port, a stay in Southsea or a home pickup, we quote a single fixed fare before you book and hold to it regardless of traffic.
Your Portsmouth driver meets you inside the Heathrow arrivals hall with a name board, helps with your luggage and tracks your flight — so early landings or delays are handled automatically with no waiting charge. Choose from saloon, estate and executive cars, MPVs and 8-seater minibuses for families and groups, with the first child seat free on request.
Heathrow has four passenger terminals — 2, 3, 4 and 5 — and which one you need depends on your airline. Give us your flight number when you book and the driver goes to the right terminal. The route takes the M4 to the M25, then the A3 south through Surrey and Hampshire to Portsmouth, finishing on the M275 into the city.

Heathrow to Portsmouth by the A3 and the Hindhead Tunnel
Portsmouth is about 70 miles from Heathrow. Unlike Southampton and Winchester, it is reached by the A3 rather than the M3: south from the M25 past Guildford, through the Hindhead Tunnel and down to the coast — around 80 minutes in normal traffic.
Many of our Heathrow–Portsmouth passengers are not stopping in the city at all. They are connecting to a ferry from Portsmouth International Port to France or Spain, a Wightlink crossing to the Isle of Wight, or heading to the naval base, Gunwharf Quays or the Historic Dockyard.
Planning a Heathrow landing and a Portsmouth sailing
A guide for passengers connecting to a ferry: about 45 minutes from landing to the car, around 80 minutes on the road, and arriving at the port by the operator's check-in time. Check your ferry company's own deadline, as it varies by route and vehicle type.
| Flight lands | At the ferry port around | Suits a sailing from about |
|---|---|---|
| 06:30 | 08:35 | 09:45 onwards |
| 09:00 | 11:05 | 12:15 onwards |
| 13:00 | 15:05 | 16:15 onwards |
If your flight is often late, choose a later sailing — a delayed flight is followed by our driver at no charge, but a ferry will not wait.
