Park & Ride.
Cheaper. Same secure compound.
Drop the car at our compound near the Port of Southampton. We shuttle you to any of the 5 cruise terminals. The cheaper option for longer cruises.
The cheapest credible option at the port.
Park & Ride is the cheapest way to park for a cruise out of Southampton with a real, gated, insured compound behind it. £55 for a single night, £85 for a full week. Same compound and same insurance as Meet & Greet, just with a short shuttle to the terminal instead of a drop at the gate.
- From £50 Park & Ride with us
- From £80 our Meet & Greet for comparison
- ~£140 for 7 nights typical on-port terminal short-stay rate
How it works
Five simple steps from booking to pick-up.
-
Step 1
01Book online and pay securely
Pick your dates and terminal. Pay in under two minutes. You get a confirmation email with the compound postcode, arrival window, and driver contact number.
-
Step 2
02Drive to the compound
About 1.5 miles from the port. Postcode SO19 4DY, easy off the M27. No rush at the terminal, plenty of space, staff on hand the moment you pull in.
-
Step 3
03Hand over the keys, board the shuttle
Quick vehicle walk-around, keys logged, and straight into the shuttle to your terminal. It's a short ride, and we time it to your check-in window.
-
Step 4 04Your car stays locked down
CCTV-monitored compound with gated access and overnight lockdown. Same compound, same drivers, same insurance as Meet & Greet.
-
Step 5
05Shuttle back, car waiting
Text when your ship docks. We pick you up from the terminal and have you back at your car within the half-hour. It's the same clean, quiet handover as on the way out.

The longer your cruise, the bigger the gap.
Park & Ride is flat-priced across the duration of your sailing. The longer you are gone, the less you pay per night, and the wider the gap between us and Meet & Greet. For a long-haul Caribbean or world cruise, the saving is the price of a few onboard meals.
| Cruise length | Park & Ride | Meet & Greet | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 nights | £85 | £135 | £50 |
| 14 nights | £120 | £170 | £50 |
| 21 nights | £130 | £235 | £105 |
| 31 nights | £150 | £245 | £95 |
Same gated compound, same body-cam handover, same £2m public liability across both services. The only difference Park & Ride asks for is a short shuttle to your terminal (Mayflower, Horizon, City, Ocean or QEII) instead of a drop at the gate.
