“We flew into City Airport from Geneva and needed to catch a P&O cruise from the Mayflower Terminal. Six suitcases between us, so booked the 6-Seater MPV at £185. Driver loaded all the luggage, knew exactly where the Mayflower Terminal was, and we arrived 40 minutes before boarding opened. The whole journey took just under two hours. Perfect cruise start.”

“My daughter just started at the University of Southampton and I used this service to get her there from her flight. The Estate car handled all her belongings easily, including a full-size keyboard she wouldn’t trust to a courier. Driver was incredibly helpful unloading at the halls. Brilliant service, already booked for Christmas collection. Thank you LondonAirport‑Taxi.com.”

“Used this for a Cunard Queen Victoria embarkation from Ocean Terminal. Flight into City Airport was delayed 35 minutes but the driver tracked it and was still there with a name board when we landed. Arrived at Ocean Terminal perfectly on time for our 2pm check-in. The £145 Estate price was fair and the whole experience was stress-free. Will use again for our next voyage.”
