Sell Your Taxi in Southampton

Hampshire's specialist taxi buyer. We understand the South Coast market, cruise port traffic, and local licensing.

<h2>Southampton's Taxi Buyer</h2><p>Southampton's taxi trade is uniquely influenced by the city's position as the UK's busiest cruise port. The Port of Southampton handles over two million cruise passengers annually, and this creates significant demand for taxi and private hire transfers — particularly for the larger vehicles that can handle luggage and groups of passengers heading to and from the cruise terminals.</p><p>Southampton City Council licenses hackney carriages and private hire vehicles in the city, with Hampshire County Council covering the surrounding area. The port traffic means Southampton's taxi fleet includes a higher proportion of larger vehicles — MPVs, people carriers, and minibus-style cabs — than many cities of its size.</p><h3>South Coast Coverage</h3><p>We cover Southampton and the wider Hampshire region, including Eastleigh, Fareham, Gosport, Havant, and Winchester. Our collection team also serves Portsmouth, Bournemouth, and the Isle of Wight via the ferry. Whether you're based in the city centre, near the docks, or out in the Hampshire countryside, we'll come to you.</p><p>Southampton's most common vehicles include Toyota Prius for standard private hire, Ford Galaxy and Volkswagen Sharan for cruise transfers, and various wheelchair-accessible vehicles. The cruise trade means Southampton cabs often have higher mileage than average — something generic buyers penalise but we understand and price fairly.</p>

Reviews from Southampton Drivers

Real feedback from drivers who sold their taxi in Southampton.

★★★★★

My Galaxy did the cruise terminal run for four years. High mileage but they didn't penalise me for it. Collected from Woolston, paid same day.

★★★★★

Moving away from Southampton and needed to sell quickly. They were faster and offered more than the local dealers. Collected the next morning.
