The terminal and meeting your driver

Southampton has one small terminal, so the walk from the plane to arrivals is short. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, and you get their name, car and phone number by text before you land.

Your car will be in the Pick Up and Drop Off area on the ground floor of the Short Stay car park, about a minute's walk away and under cover. We track your flight. Free waiting: 60 minutes from your pickup time. You choose your pickup time after landing when you book.
