When not to book us: Speed is not the argument on this route, which makes it unusual. The 030 covers the ground in 1 hour 25 minutes against a free-flow drive of about 83 minutes over 66 miles, so a scheduled seat loses you almost nothing on the road. Where it loses is everywhere else. The fare is £18 one way per person once the £1.50 booking fee is in it, so two travellers are at £36 and four at £72 before anybody has been dropped at their own front door. There are only 7 departures a day, the quickest of them leaves from Terminal 5 rather than the central stops, and the last from Central goes at 22:45. If you are travelling alone, flying in or out of Terminal 5 and your timing lines up with one of those seven, buy the ticket. If you are two or more, if your flight uses another terminal, if you have a cruise sailing or a crossing to make with cases, or if you land in the evening, the car does the job for a single fare that does not multiply.
Where you meet your driver
- Name the exact destination in Portsmouth or Southsea when you book, whether that is a home address, the cruise terminal or a berth on the harbour side. The island city is bigger than it looks on a map and the crossings are not interchangeable.
- Your driver's phone number arrives in the supplier details email. Have it saved before you leave, because that message, not the booking confirmation, is the one you will need.
- We watch your inbound flight without charging for it, so a delay pushes the pick-up back instead of writing it off. The free waiting included in your fare begins at landing and is described under What it costs above.
- Tell us your terminal, because it genuinely matters here. Heathrow's terminals sit far enough apart that a car sent to the wrong one costs you more time than the whole difference between the options on this page.
- Express pick-up at the designated pick-up point is what the fare includes. A name board held in arrivals is meet and greet, sold as a paid extra, and the ranks by the terminal doors are black taxis whose fares Heathrow does not publish at all.
Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.
Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.

Questions people ask about this route
How much is a taxi from Portsmouth to Heathrow?
The quote above prices a saloon for your date, live, and it does not change after you book. It is charged for the vehicle, so the number is identical whether one of you travels or four. Put your date into the form for a figure you can act on.
Is the coach quicker than driving to Heathrow?
Almost as quick, which is rare. The fastest 030 takes 1 hour 25 minutes and the free-flow drive is about 83 minutes over 66 miles. On this route the case for a car rests on cost per group, luggage and departure times rather than on saving an hour.
What does the coach actually cost for two people?
£36, because the £18 one-way fare is per person and already includes a £1.50 booking fee. Four people come to £72. A single car fare covers everyone in it.
Which terminal does the fastest service leave from?
Terminal 5. The 1 hour 25 minute run is timed from there, and the last departure from Terminal 5 is 00:50 while the last from Heathrow Central is 22:45. If your flight uses another terminal you are adding an internal transfer to that timing.
How many departures are there a day?
Up to 7 on the 030, with the first at 00:40 from Heathrow Central. Seven is a thin timetable for an airport link, and missing one is a long wait rather than a short one.
Can you take us to the cruise terminal or the harbour?
Yes. Give the terminal or berth name at booking and that is where the car stops. Sailings and airport departures rarely align neatly, which is the usual reason people on this route want a departure time of their own choosing.
What happens if the plane is late?
Nothing you have to manage. The flight is tracked, the driver moves to the real landing time, and free waiting starts then. The allowance included in your fare is stated under What it costs at the top of this page.
Do you cover Southsea, Gosport and Fareham?
Yes, and each is quoted to its own address rather than lumped into a Portsmouth rate. Type the postcode into the form and the engine prices that journey specifically.
Is the fare per seat?
No. It is for the car, which is the whole reason a party of three or four ends up ahead against an £18 seat.
Can I cancel?
Yes, in full, up to 24 hours before pick-up. After that the fare is charged. Amendments go through the booking link in your confirmation email, subject to the same 24 hours.
