Southampton → Bournemouth: key facts

Private transfer, Southampton Airport (SOU) to Bournemouth: the car (1–3 passengers) is €110 and the van (4–8) is €160, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 54 km on the road via A31 and M27; about 45 min off-peak, 45–55 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the main terminal concourse at the arrivals hall exit, after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Bournemouth is a seaside town in Dorset, about 55 km south-west of the airport. The drive follows the M27 west past Southampton to its end at Cadnam, then the A31 across the New Forest to Ringwood and the A338 Wessex Way south into the town, a route without tolls. Free-roaming ponies and cattle use the forest roads, and the single A31 corridor through the New Forest becomes congested on summer weekends and bank holidays, when beach traffic also queues on the A338.

The town centre sits around the Square and the Lower Gardens, which run down the valley of the Bourne stream to Bournemouth Pier and the main beach. Hotels line the West Cliff and East Cliff above the sand, with Boscombe and its own pier a few kilometres to the east and Westbourne and the Poole boundary to the west. The seafront promenade and the Lower Gardens are closed to cars, but the clifftop roads and Bath Road near the pier allow drop-offs close to most hotels. The railway station lies about 1.5 km north-east of the Square.

Public transport instead: South Western Railway train from Southampton Airport Parkway to Bournemouth — about 36 min.
