Southampton Airport to Hillsborough Stadium taxi and Hillsborough Stadium to Southampton Airport after the event, fixed fare from £457 each way

Southampton Airport to Hillsborough Stadium and back: fixed fares

Rushxo covers Southampton Airport to Hillsborough Stadium for every fixture and festival, in both directions. A saloon from Southampton Airport to Hillsborough Stadium is a fixed fare from £457 each way, about 196 miles and 4.5-6.5 hrs door to door. Book the return with it and the pair is priced at 1.8 times a single, from £823, with the driver waiting at the agreed meeting point after Sheffield Wednesday match days. An 8-seater for a group is from £663, executive cars on request.

Fares are per car, agreed at booking, and include tolls and any London charges where they apply. No meter, no surge, the same price after the last encore.

Pick-up in Southampton Airport, drop-off at Hillsborough Stadium

Pick-up is in the arrivals hall at Southampton Airport: the driver holds a name board, the flight is tracked and 45 minutes of waiting is included, so you go from the gate to Hillsborough Stadium without a queue for the rank. At Hillsborough Stadium we drop at the official drop-off point, or the meeting corner we agree for Sheffield Wednesday match days when the roads around the venue are closed.

The drive is about 196 miles; the driver checks closures and event-day traffic orders and picks the fastest route on the day, so the time above already allows for normal traffic.

Hillsborough Stadium to Southampton Airport: the journey home

Hillsborough Stadium to Southampton Airport is the same fixed fare as the outbound leg. Book both legs together and the driver waits at the agreed meeting point at the end of Sheffield Wednesday match days, however late it runs; for a flight home we time the departure from the venue around your check-in, and the driver drops you at the terminal door. Waiting time is included in the return price and the fare does not change for the finish time.

Event days at Hillsborough Stadium

For Sheffield Wednesday match days we plan around the venue, not the postcode: the drop-off point that is actually open, the corner we meet on afterwards, and a departure time that beats the car-park queue. An 8-seater takes the whole group from Southampton Airport for little more than two saloons, and a wait-and-return price keeps the same driver on site for the day. Late finishes are normal for us; the fare is the same at 1am.
