Warwick to Southampton Airport is 109.1 miles and takes between 115 and 138 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 23 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.
| Leave Warwick at | Drive time | Route |
|---|---|---|
| 04:00 | 121 min | Clear roads |
| 07:00 | 138 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
| 10:00 | 123 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
| 16:00 | 125 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
| 19:00 | 115 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
That 23 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 07:00 hour that costs you the extra 23 minutes.
For a 07:00 departure from Southampton Airport we would collect you from Warwick at about 03:00 for a short-haul flight, or 02:00 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.
| If your flight leaves | Type | At the airport by | We collect you |

| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 02:00 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 07:00 |

The return from Southampton Airport to Warwick is where the hour you land starts to matter. These are measured, not estimated.
| You land at | Drive back to Warwick | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 123 min | 12:48 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 125 min | 18:50 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 115 min | 21:40 |
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.
We leave Warwick on the A46 and join at M40 J15. At 109.1 miles it is a longer run. The slowest hour we have measured on it is 07:00 at 138 minutes, against 115 at 19:00. That is the window to plan around.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
