Does anyone have a recommendation for a reliable transport service for 8 people, 8 carry on bags and 8 backpacks from Heathrow Airport to Southampton?
Google "Southampton Car Services". Then see if there are any with vans. The reason for using one based in Southampton is that the "destination" car services always seen to know the best way "home". Contact them directly via email, outline your needs, and you'll probably get a response within 24 hours.
Contact West Quay Taxis, Southampton. We used them for a transfer to Southampton a couple of years ago and were well pleased. They do have 8 passenger vehicles.
Emma, Thanks for the reminder about the nomenclature. It's been said that as one ages memory is the first to go, but I don't remember the second.
Thanks to all of you. Good info.
This service would require 2 vehicles, but you can at least use it for cost comparison
