A Southampton Cruise Port to Dorset taxi with Rushxo is a fixed price from £101 for a saloon. The drive is about 59 minutes (around 45 miles). Your driver meets you at the cruise terminal with a name board, helps with the luggage and takes you door-to-door to Dorset — one price agreed before you book, with meet-and-greet, ship tracking and no surge.
The route
The drive is about 59 minutes, around 45 miles, and we plan it around your ship's disembarkation so you reach Dorset with room to spare.
On a cruise turnaround several thousand passengers leave the ship inside the same short window, and the on-the-day taxi rank empties fast. A pre-booked private transfer to Dorset removes the guesswork — door-to-door anywhere in the county on one fixed fare, agreed before you sail.
The price is fixed when you reserve, a vehicle is held that fits your party and luggage, and a driver is standing in the terminal with your name as you step off. We track your ship and adjust the pickup if you dock early, so the car is ready when you are.
One booking, quay to door — the calm way to start the next leg of your journey to Dorset.

Disembarking at Southampton Cruise Port: the pickup is timed to your arrival, with luggage space for the bags a cruise brings, and a driver waiting at the terminal meeting point rather than a queue for whatever is left. Fixed fare to Dorset, per car.
Set down at your address in Dorset. No meter and nothing extra at the door; the fare, £101 for the car, was fixed at booking.
If you would normally open Uber, Bolt or FreeNow for this journey, the difference is when the price is set: an app quotes at the moment of demand and can surge, while this fare was fixed when you booked and does not rise on the night.
The small print, in one line: cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup; child seats are fitted free when you give ages at booking; and Christmas and New Year supplements are shown in your quote before you book (seasonal fares).
