Alan found this company on Cruise Critic and made arrangements for us to be transported from our…read moreLondon hotel to the dock in Southampton where our cruise ship awaited. Mick was our driver and he was not only on time, he was 15 minutes early. When the hotel front desk staff wasn't helpful in contacting us to let us know he was there, Mick was patient and persistent and we connected, almost by chance in the lobby as our luggage was being brought down. The luggage was loaded into the trunk of Mick's new Hyundai, an attractive model not found in the US as far as I know. He skillfully and courteously drove us out of London, though traffic and right up to the terminal where the ship was docked. He made excellent time and good conversation as well. The cost was about £125, which seems reasonable for that distance and for the convenience of door-to-door transportation. We would use Smith's again. Alan's only complaint was that the car wasn't a bit larger, because he felt cramped in the back seat.

I was flying into Heathrow and needed to get to Southampton for a cruise. I found that Smith's…read morewas recommended on some message boards on www.cruisecritic.com . I went to their web page and filled out the electronic form. Within 30 minutes, I had a quote of 92 pounds- roughly $150.00 each way (300.00 round trip) for all three people and all our luggage. The cruise line on the other hand offered a transfer via bus, with restrictions on the amount and weight of our luggage for 100.00 USD per person each way ($600.00). I booked via email and they answered my emails within minutes. I had a last minute change in pickup location (See my review of the Heathrow Sheraton) and emailed Smith's. It wasn't a problem.... They replied in minutes. They showed up in a almost brand new mini van and were on time. The drivers were polite and dressed professionally. Upon pickup, I again had a last minute change of pickup times.... Easily done via email. I would highly recommend Smith's for transportation needs in and out of Heathrow

Very helpful woman when pre booking taxi to pick us up from the ferry at Yarmouth27 th August. Our…read moretrain was late so we missed the ferry and I rang to tell the company and was very pleased that they were still able to collect us from the later ferry. As 5 in total plus luggage we needed a larger vehicle and were going to Freshwater Bay. We were given a time so disappointed there was no taxi there to collect us. I rang again and was told it was on its way. So another 5 minutes to wait. The driver did not get a step out for me to get in the vehicle as being elderly and with a walking stick that would have been helpful nor did he open the back of the vehicle to put the luggage in. He did not handle one piece of luggage. The others in the group had to put all the luggage inside where it all rolled around as we went round corners. there was no help at the destination to get any of the bags out either. Not impressive!

I am not going to write my opinion of this cab company, it would sound biased. I will simply tell…read morewhat happened and you can make your own minds up. Personally I think think they are super. My dog ate something that was poisonous to her, (currents, sultanas etc) she snaffled some Christmas cake! This could have killed her. It was imperative to get her to the emergency vet as soon as possible to get it out of her stomach, time was critical. I only had about thirty minutes left to get her from Hedge End to the vets in southampton. It was the middle of the night, (28th Dec), it would take me best part of an hour to walk down there, too late to save my dog. I called Hedge End taxis, explaining my predicament. The lady on the phone was courteous, and more important to me at the time, efficient. I had a cab arrive in minutes. Unlike many taxis I have grown dis-satisfied with in this area, the driver also was courteous, knew his job, exactly how to get there, comunicated exceptionally well, and got me to the vet in double quick time. I made it to the vets in time for them to induce vomiting with injection, and thankfully the offending poison was expelled. Thanks to the old fashioned EXCELLENT service I encountered, I still have my beautifull boxer dog alive and well. I can not put a price to this. Having experienced diabolical service from many Southampton taxi services in the past, I am compelled to write this review. Had I called one of them, I have no doubt I would not have been able to save her. Thank you Hedge End taxis, from the bottom of my heart.

I have booked a taxi 3 times in the past 6 months. On one occasion my flight from America landed almost an hour early. The driver was there waiting for me. I had phoned for the taxi just over an hour before leaving to catch my flight and they were able to accomodate me. On another trip, my wife had dropped her prescription bottle in the taxi as she got out. The driver spotted it and rushed in to Southsea Hovercraft Terminal to give it back to her just before she boarded the Hovercraft. I have met many different drivers over the years, all have been very friendly, very safe drivers and always insist on helping with any luggage. For as long as I need to travel back and forth to America I will continue to use Sunny Travel and have recommended them to friends and family. Well done Sunny Travel.
