Our driver (Ian) was great! He drove us to our hotel and provided information about the area on the two hour drive. He was very helpful and pleasant. His car was clean and comfortable. A very good experience!

Easy pickup, nice driver,...

Matthew_M, Aug 2026

Easy pickup, nice driver, great service. Thank you. Picked us up from cruise ship and dropped off at LHR.

Driver was excellent!...

Dawn_R, Aug 2026

Driver was excellent! Waited for us when flight delayed and baggage pickup slow. Very friendly. Clean car perfectly sized. A very good ride and worth the little extra for them to come into airport to meet us.

Smooth ride

Hillary_W, Aug 2026

The booking process was easy with great communication before we left home. Our family traveled from 2 different US cities so the reservation was made based on the later flight. arrival. Even with a 4 hour delay of the flight that was to arrive first, everyone knew what was going on and pick up was smooth all around, without needing an inside meet and greet. Our driver was pleasant, the van was clean and we got to Southampton in time to start our cruise vacation.

Excellent driver!

kim_w, Aug 2026

But if a snafu connecting with driver when getting off ship but we eventually connected. He got us to Heathrow in plenty of time. Nice car, well kept.

Excellent service!

Rayna_M, Aug 2026

Excellent on time professional driver! Could not have been more accommodating...do not hesitate to book this one!

Easy transfer

Karen_B, Aug 2026

A little difficult to see my name on just a phone screen but able to connect and had a very comfortable ride to Southampton. Giorgio gave us information about different sites we passed and we were delivered safely to our hotel.

Would not do it again.

vls, Aug 2026

The ride to Southampton was fine. Unfortunately driver was over an hour late picking us up at the airport. Once we made contact in the airport, couldn't remember where he had parked his car. I understand he filled in at the last minute but you don't want to wait for someone after getting off a long flight to start with.

Didn't get what I paid for.

Sam_O, Aug 2026

I paid an upgraded price to have the driver meet us inside the terminal with a sign board and assist us with taking luggage to the car for the trip to the hotel. We had a scheduled arrival time and the company providing the service through Viator was provided by their request our flight number and arrival gate so they could monitor arrival time to insure they were there on time. Our plane arrived almost exactly as scheduled. We went through immigration and customs, retrieved our bags and went to the designated meeting area. Nobody was there. We waited. After 20-30 minutes I attempted to call the number we were provided. There was no answer. We finally received a call from our driver who was outside in the car lineup area. I didn't know where that was, and that's why I paid a premium for meeting inside and baggage assistance. He said it would take him a long time to park, and we were very close so we should just come outside and he would tell us which car was his. So we did make our way outside and saw him waving at us from his car. We pushed our luggage over and he loaded it in his car and we had an uneventful trip to the hotel.

Fantastic transfer

Terrie_D, Aug 2026

This was well worth every penny we paid for it. He told us interesting stories about England and the US and navigated the detour with experience.

Driver was late 30/45...

geraldineA, Aug 2026

Driver was late 30/45 minutes to get us at airport. Never apologized for this. Did not say a word the drive from airport to Southampton.

Great experience

Debra_F, Aug 2026

Great experience all around! Our driver Gregory was prompt to meet us at the airport, very courteous and even gave us some history of Southampton! Definitely recommend cab my ride!

Beware of additional charges and not getting what you paid for

Gail_B, Jul 2026

We paid for a minivan to ensure there would be enough space for our luggage. The tour operator called to ask what luggage we had to see if it would fit in a sedan instead. I agreed to the sedan provided it would be big enough not realizing that there would be no refund for the price difference for the cheaper sedan booking. The tour operator also added £15 charge saying it was the airport parking fee. The signs at the airport said the fee was £7. The morning of our pickup I sent a message to the tour operator asking where our driver was since they had sent us a message he was 15 minutes away 30 minutes earlier. They never responded but the driver’s tracking showed him on his way to us so I am assuming he went to the wrong cruise terminal. The “what’s included” section should be updated on this experience to say to just includes the car service. We were not offered any water or any of the other options listed. We did successfully make it to the airport.

Southampton to London Heathrow

Robert_N, Jul 2026

LHR to Southampton Car Service

Kim_S, Jul 2026

Friendly driver, prompt pick-up at airport, Quality and clean car. Direct delivery to the hotel in Southampton

I would never use this service again

Michelle_K, Jul 2026

I booked a transfer from Heathrow down to Southampton. Even paid extra for the “Meet & Greet” service. Initial booking arrangements went well. All details confirmed over email with quick responses from this company. Our flight was delayed & I let them know of the new arrival time. Received a response back confirming new pick up time. We arrived and no one was there. I called the company to ask about our driver & was initially told they couldn’t even find our booking! I called again with the booking # & was told that the driver was stuck in traffic but would there in 20-25 minutes. 45 minutes later I called again & was told he was parking & would arrive in 5 minutes. 15 minutes later he arrived. The drive retold us that “When I picked up your ride I was an hour away from here” which told me that nothing had been prearranged. I would never recommend using this company: the ride should’ve been pre-set as suggested, the company should’ve reached out to me to tell me of the driver’s delay and I should’ve had the Meet & Greet fee refunded. An extremely frustrating experience.

Our experience was...

Amy_T, Jul 2026

Our experience was fantastic from start to finish! Booking through the app was simple and seamless. Although our driver arrived a few minutes late due to traffic, the support team was incredibly responsive, communicative, and helpful, which put us at ease. Our driver was absolutely wonderful—friendly, funny, and a great conversationalist. The drive flew by because we enjoyed chatting with him so much. He made the entire journey comfortable, enjoyable, and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily book again!

Bad Service

Scott_C, Jul 2026

Driver did not show up at prearranged location. Nowhere to be found. Had to take a cab to South Hampton

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Scott, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience didn't meet your expectations. Our records show that your driver arrived at the designated pickup location on time and made several attempts to contact you by both phone and text. Our support team also tried reaching you multiple times, and when we were finally able to make contact, you advised that you had already taken a taxi. We appreciate how stressful meeting a driver at a busy airport can be, particularly after a flight, and we're sorry that you and the driver were unable to connect on this occasion. Your feedback is valuable, and we're continually looking at ways to make airport meet and greets even clearer to help prevent situations like this in the future. We wish you all the best with your future travels. Kind regards, The Cab My Ride Team

It worked out well that...

Richard_C, Jul 2026

It worked out well that we were picked up at the airport at Heathrow. The ride to Southampton was pleasant and the driver helped us with our luggage.

6 people and a mountain of luggage!

Charles_B, Jul 2026

We had a party of 6 with a large quantity of luggage. We reserved a 9 passenger van. Even though I verified with the provider that his van could accommodate everyone and our luggage, the driver showed up and was very concerned that we could not fit everything in and we would need another vehicle. Quite concerning as we were on our way to get on a cruise ship. In the end our driver Saif was able to find room for all 6 of us and our huge stack of luggage an we had a comfortable ride down to the Southampton Cruise port. Well done!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Charles, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience. We're pleased to hear that, in the end, Saif was able to accommodate your group of six along with all of your luggage and provide a comfortable journey to Southampton Cruise Port. We understand your initial concern, especially when travelling to board a cruise. Our drivers always take a cautious approach to ensure luggage can be loaded safely and securely before setting off. We're glad Saif was able to make everything fit and get you to the port comfortably and on time. Thank you for choosing Cab My Ride, and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to the UK! Best regards, The Cab My Ride Team

Ride to Southampton

marthaherrera, Jun 2026

Excellent service . We missed our connecting flight which threw off our scheduled ride. I made a call to the driver and explained our situation. He was kind enough to reschedule our pick up time and day. Our driver was at the airport waiting for us. Our 2 hour drive was relaxing. Our driver was courteous.

Not as expected

DEBBIE_P, Jun 2026

Thought I purchased a sedan for 2 people with two medium size and one small carryon. Instead we got a large van. The van seats were extremely uncomfortable. Would have been fine for a 15-30 minutes ride but a 2-hour ride after being in an airplane for 11 hours was horrible. Driver was good, drove safely and got us there with the promised time frame.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Debbie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear the vehicle wasn't what you were expecting. For operational reasons, we may occasionally upgrade customers to a larger vehicle at no additional cost to ensure there is plenty of room for passengers and luggage. While many customers appreciate the additional space, we understand that the seating comfort wasn't what you had hoped for on a longer journey. We're pleased to hear your driver provided a safe, professional service and got you to Southampton within the expected timeframe. Your feedback is appreciated and will be taken into consideration as we continue to improve the experience we provide. Kind regards, The Cab My Ride Team

Not worth the price!!

Theresa_D, Jun 2026

Driver was over a hour late, no meet n greet that I paid for and no parking charges since we were picked up at the drop off location. Cheaper and on time to utilize Uber.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Theresa, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating delays can be, particularly after a long flight.

We're also sorry to hear you were disappointed with the Meet & Greet service. We appreciate your comments and have reviewed them internally to help us improve both our communication and airport pickup procedures. Your feedback is important to us, and we thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. Kind regards, The Cab My Ride Team
