Car hire and road travel from Portsmouth

Whichever region of the nation you are arriving from, you will need to access the A3/M27 route leading to Portsmouth. The ferry port and city centre are directly connected, linked to the M27 by the M275 motorway. Drive along the M275 to its end, where signposting will lead you straight to the port.

Portsmouth represents a number of local and internationally well-established car rental companies. Once you arrive in the city, you can secure a private hire vehicle on-the-spot. However, we advise you to secure a hire car in advance online, where there is one reliable supplier providing the most lucrative rental deals from various reputed firms such as Thrifty, Hertz, Budget, Avis, National and Europcar.

Rail from Portsmouth Port

Regular and efficient railway services departing from London, the Midlands and Wales follow lines to the Southsea and Portsmouth railway stations. Taxis and buses provide services at the train stations, which can take you to the ferry port.

Parking at Portsmouth Port

Motorists will find a car parking facility at the Port of Portsmouth which provides both short-stay and long-stay parking spaces. For truck drivers, there is the availability of a 500-vehicle truck car park, situated five minutes drive from the ferry terminal building.

Taxis from Portsmouth Port

Outside the terminal's exit, you'll find taxis, with drivers normally waiting for incoming ferry passengers. Taxis provide the most convenient and fastest way of travelling into Portsmouth or to surrounding localities. A few of the best known taxi firms include: A1A Solent Services (tel: +44 23 9269 7777) and Avacar Taxis (tel: +44 23 9232 4444). However, for long distance destinations, taxis are not the best option due to the rather expensive fares. Should you have to travel farther than a local destination, we advise you to make use of the cheaper, efficient and reliable public transport system.
