Southampton Airport transfers from the Isle of Wight
One vehicle from your front door to the terminal. CAB Co. collects you from anywhere on the Isle of Wight, crosses the Solent on the Red Funnel vehicle ferry from East Cowes, and drops you at Southampton Airport — departures or arrivals. You stay in the same cab the entire journey.
Routes we cover
Newport → Southampton Airport
Central island, the most requested run. Red Funnel from East Cowes, 15 minutes from Town Quay to the terminal. Allow around 90 minutes from Newport.
Ryde → Southampton Airport
East of the island — roughly 90 minutes to the terminal. We factor the Red Funnel crossing into your pickup time so you're not doing the maths yourself.
Shanklin → Southampton Airport
About 30 minutes to East Cowes, then the crossing, then straight to departures. We time it — just tell us your flight.
Yarmouth / Freshwater → Southampton Airport
West Wight has a longer drive to East Cowes. We account for it. Lymington Wightlink may be faster on some sailings — we check before we book.
Southampton Airport → Isle of Wight (arrivals)
Flying in? Give us your flight number. We track it live, meet you in arrivals, and take you home. One call before you board is all we need.
Why CAB Co.
We know the Red Funnel timetables.
East Cowes to Southampton Town Quay runs roughly every hour. We know which sailing to target for your flight and plan your pickup around it — not the other way round.
We track your flight.
Give us your flight number and we monitor it live. If you land early or late, we already know before you step off the plane. No waiting, no surprises.
Licensed and local.
Every driver holds an Isle of Wight Council private hire licence. We're based on the island, we work on the island, and we answer the phone when you call.
Common questions
- Does the driver cross the Solent with me?
- Yes. We board the Red Funnel vehicle ferry from East Cowes together and travel to Southampton Town Quay — you stay in the cab for the crossing. No handoff to a different driver on the mainland.
- What if my return flight is delayed?
- Tell us your flight number when you book. We track it in real time and adjust your airport pickup accordingly. You won't be waiting at Southampton arrivals wondering if your cab is coming.
- Do you do early morning pickups?
- Yes. The first reliable Red Funnel sailing from East Cowes is 06:30, arriving Southampton Town Quay at 07:30 — around 20-30 minutes from the airport. For very early flights, restricted sailings run from 01:30 but must be booked in advance. Just tell us your flight time and we work backwards from there.
- Do you serve other airports from the Isle of Wight?
- Yes — we also cover Bournemouth Airport and Gatwick. See our airport transfers page for the full list.
