The journey
29 miles, 59 min.
The shortest route on our fixed list, and the one most often booked at an awkward hour: Bournemouth's charter and Ryanair schedule puts a lot of check-ins between 04:00 and 06:00.
It is M27 west then the A31 and A338 down through Ringwood. An hour is the realistic figure rather than the map's optimistic one, because the last stretch is single-carriageway and the airport approach is slow.
The quoted price covers the journey either way. Bournemouth's drop-off charge is quoted as its own line on the booking form, so you can see what is airport fee and what is fare.
Where we meet you
Bournemouth's terminal is small enough that the arrivals door is the meet point — no terminal guessing, no multi-storey walk.
What the fare covers
And what it does not.
- The journey end to end — driver, vehicle, fuel, and luggage handling — at a price locked when you book, in either direction.
- A standard saloon or estate. Larger vehicles (people carrier, minibus, executive classes) run the same journey on our per-mile rate, quoted upfront before you pay.
- Airport drop-off and pickup charges, congestion and ULEZ where they apply, are quoted as separate lines on the booking form — visible before you pay, never added after.
- Up to 60 minutes of free waiting on an airport arrival; after that, £20/hr in 15-minute increments.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup; 25% within 24 hours. Full mechanics at /refund-policy.
Frequently asked
Quick answers.
- You get the full price before you book, and it does not change afterwards. Enter the journey on the booking form and the quote comes back on our published rate card, in whichever vehicle you pick. Our fixed-fare routes are a promotion we run from time to time; they are paused just now and will open again.
- About 59 min for roughly 29 miles in typical traffic — that figure comes from the same routing engine that quotes the fare. Airport runs are planned backwards from your check-in time rather than forwards from an average speed, so an early-morning departure is given more road time, not less.
- No. The price you are quoted is the price you pay: it does not move if the route turns out slower on the day, and there is no surge and no meter running in the back. Airport drop-off charges, where the airport levies them, are quoted as their own line so you can see exactly what makes up the total.
- We track inbound flights from departure and shift the pickup to match the actual landing time — no phone call needed from baggage reclaim. Up to 60 minutes of waiting after landing is included free; beyond that, waiting bills at £20/hr in 15-minute increments. For rail arrivals we work from the live arrival time in the same way.
- Yes — we price the journey the same way in either direction. The booking form opens showing Southampton to Bournemouth Airport; swap the two fields, or tell the office when you call.
