Overview
What is a Heathrow to Portsmouth transfer?
A Heathrow to Portsmouth taxi transfer is a booked private hire journey from the airport to any address in Portsmouth at a price agreed before travel. Taxiqo runs it from £160 in a saloon, from the terminal to your door.
The drive is about 67 miles. The usual route takes the M25 to junction 12, the M3 south and the M27 east into Portsmouth. When traffic suits, the driver may take the A3 and A3(M) instead. Allow 75 to 105 minutes. Off-peak, the run takes about an hour and a quarter, while the slow stretches are the M25 around Heathrow Airport and the roads into Portsmouth at peak times.
Many people booking this journey are catching a ferry. They have flown into Heathrow with a sailing to France, the Channel Islands or Spain from Portsmouth International Port, a cruise to join, or a crossing to the Isle of Wight, and they have luggage and a fixed departure time. Others are going to the naval base and the Historic Dockyard, to Gunwharf Quays or Southsea, to the University of Portsmouth, or home.
Below you will find the fare in every vehicle class, how pickup works at Heathrow and where in Portsmouth we drop off, what the price includes, how a car compares with the coach and the train, and how to book. The questions at the end cover journey time, the ferry port, delayed flights, luggage and the return journey.
Why book a car
Why take a car from Heathrow to Portsmouth
There is no direct train from Heathrow to Portsmouth. Rail means getting to Woking, by the coach link or through London, and changing there for a South Western Railway train, with your luggage, for a journey of roughly 2 hours when the connections line up.
The coach is direct and cheaper for one person, but it runs to a timetable and leaves you to get from the stop to the port or your address. A private airport transfer goes from the arrivals hall to the terminal door.

Car, coach or train to Portsmouth?
The coach is the cheapest way to Portsmouth and takes roughly 2 hours. If you are travelling alone with one bag and have plenty of time before your sailing, it is a sensible choice.
The train takes roughly 2 hours as well, with a change at Woking and a coach or London leg before it. Unless your destination is next to the station, you still need a taxi or bus at the end, and with luggage it is rarely the easy option.
A car is the better choice when there are two or more of you, when you have holiday luggage, or when a late landing leaves little time before a sailing. Four people sharing an estate car at £200 pay about £50 each, door to door.

75 to 105 minutes, covering about 67 miles on the M25, the M3 and the M27. The longer end applies at the morning and evening peaks.
No. Rail needs a change at Woking and takes roughly 2 hours, plus the trip from the station to the port or your address. A car is direct in 75 to 105 minutes.
Yes. We drop at the passenger terminal at Portsmouth International Port, or at the Wightlink terminal for the Isle of Wight. When planning, allow the 75 to 105 minute drive plus the check-in time your ferry company asks for.
Count the large cases. A saloon takes 2, an estate 4, a V-Class 6 and the 8 seater 8. A family heading for a ferry with a week's luggage usually needs an estate or a V-Class.
The coach is cheaper for one light traveller with time to spare. A car is better with two or more people, heavy luggage or a sailing to catch after a late landing. Four people sharing an estate pay about £50 each.
The pickup moves with it. We track the flight number you give us and re-time the driver. You also get 60 minutes of free waiting from the actual landing time.
Yes. Book the return with your Portsmouth address or ferry terminal as the pickup and Heathrow as the destination. It is priced the same way. Allow the 75 to 105 minute drive on top of your airline's check-in time.
