Radford Semele to Port of Southampton is 116.9 miles and takes between 131 and 156 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 25 minutes between the quickest and slowest hour. Hampton Travel covers it as pre-booked private hire with a named driver confirmed the night before and a fixed price agreed in writing before you travel.
Measured for each departure time rather than quoted as a single average, because they are not the same journey.

The return from Port of Southampton to Radford Semele is where the hour you land starts to matter. These are measured, not estimated.
| You land at | Drive back to Radford Semele | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 142 min | 13:07 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 145 min | 19:10 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 131 min | 21:56 |
Times allow 45 minutes from wheels-down to being in the car, which covers immigration, bags and the walk out. A late landing means a quieter road, so the drive itself is often faster than the outbound.
If the inbound is delayed we track it and send the driver to the actual landing time, not the one you booked. No waiting charge either way.
