Taxi firm Totton

[Tony10]

Hi there,

Sorry to bother you but I live outside of Southampton and am obviously a lifelong Saints fan. I'm taking my grandad to the Forrest game on Saturday for the Corp Hospitality in the Terry Paine suite and the match. This will be a really special occasion as I haven't seen him in years and then I'm emigrating to Australia soon so I want to make sure I get it right. Does anyone know of a good taxi firm to go from Totton to Saints return?

I guess it would be nice to get a half decent car as well - I'm guessing it will be about £30 - £40 for the return trip - does this sound about right?

Thanks alot for any help you can give me and sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

Price sounds about right. Just don't keep the meter running outside the ground during the game!

 

Have a great day!

Can you pick me and the wife up on the 28th Sept and take us down to the Independance and pick us up on the 9th Oct when we get back, talk to you at the Forest game about it.

Just wanted to say thanks very much for your very kind replies. We're not a bad bunch us Saints, are we. I'm all sorted now. I really appreciate it and rest assured I'll make sure that whilst we'll be smartly attired and on best behaviour, I'll do my best to get the prawn sarnie munchers cheering us on. I might just sneak the Saints shirt on under the whistle as well.

Cheers and here's to a cracking result.

As a little thankyou here's a clip of the "Wally with the Brolly Ssshteeve McLaren ya" which I'm sure you've all seen but never fails to give a right old giggle.

If you pay more than £12-14 (depending on which part of Totton it's to/from) each way then you're being mugged off.

Radio Taxis, on the meter, no Boundary Charges: 02380 666666.

Techinicaly as the job originates in the New Forest area, A Southampton taxi cannot pick that fare up, a bit like New Forest hackney plates sitting on the ranks in Southampton "now that would be fun to watch"..

I didn't say "Go out on the street and wait until Southampton-plated hackney carriage passes by, then flag it down."

 

A pre-booked private hire vehicle can pick up and drop off in any area. Hackneys also effectively become PHVs when out of their licensing area: so by phoning (for instance) Radio Taxis (Southampton) Ltd on the above number, any Hackney or PHV that is dispatched is able to pick up that fare - whether it originates or ends in the Southampton City boundary or not.

Cabs in Southampton are a f//king rip-off IMO.

I remember with work we stayed in southampton...the taxi driver trued to charge us over £30 from the holiday inn at the rose bowl to london rd

Look at the overheads, then you'll see that your not really paying over the odds. Then compare that with Eastleigh and New Forest, who both charge more, but their cars can be any age, whereas Soton cabs all have to be under 7 years old.

I'd steer clear of Radio Taxis tbh. Used to opt for them but had too many drivers I wasn't that keen on.

How many, out of the 350+ drivers? :roll:

Salisbury cabs are the worst. Paid £45 from Swindon to Salisbury using a Swindon cab, from Salisbury to Swindon using a Salisbury cab it was £110!
