Taxis In Shirley: Common Questions
Common questions about our taxi service in Shirley, Southampton.
Because our base is in Shirley at 255A Foundry Lane, so a Shirley pickup is usually the shortest job we run. That is a real advantage for hospital appointments and for a booked airport transfer where you would rather be early than waiting.
About 10 minutes on the A35 to Tremona Road, and we cover the hospital site as a matter of course. We book return journeys to match appointment times and will wait if a clinic overruns rather than leaving you at the doors.
About 16 minutes on the A35 and the M27 to Junction 5, at one fare confirmed before you travel. Because Shirley is our home area, we can usually confirm a car for an early flight very quickly, and we set the pickup from your check-in time.
Yes, they are inside the Shirley coverage area and priced the same as the rest of the district. The estate roads are long and repetitive, so a landmark or a full postcode is genuinely useful when you book.
Yes, accessible vehicles are available from Shirley for hospital, airport and local journeys. Tell us whether you need a ramp, a hoist, or the chair to stay in the vehicle, and whether a companion is coming, so we send the correct set-up.
