Taxi Fawley and Calshot, Hampshire

It is about 22 minutes by car on a good day, running north through Dibden and Totton to the M27 and Junction 8. Refinery shift changes and holiday traffic both slow this run, so for a tight flight connection we add a sensible buffer rather than quoting the bare minimum.

We do, at the main gatehouse and at the staff gate by arrangement. Refinery passes are not open to the public, so tell us which gate and who you are meeting and your driver will be pre-authorised, which saves a queue at the barrier every time.

Yes, Calshot is one of our most booked day trips in the New Forest district. We drop at the beach car park, wait as long as you want, and can add Exbury or Lepe on the way back for no extra journey if you ask for a multi-stop quote.

Yes, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton are all quoted as single fixed fares from Fawley, including motorway tolls and airport parking. Book the return leg at the same time and the combined rate is lower than two separate singles.

Usually, once you factor in parking. There is no parking charge at Fawley, Calshot or most New Forest lay-bys, so for a family day out a minicoach or 8-seater from Fawley often costs less than parking the car plus fuel plus admission, and nobody has to drive back.
