We can book your ferry tickets (at preferential rates), organise overnight parking if needed and provide you with all of the itinerary information you are likely to need, including directions, timings and parking details.
We can arrange for you to take one of the fast passenger services to get you to the Island quicker, whilst your coach follows on with the luggage later.
We can arrange for coaches or minibuses to come and meet you at the airport of your choice, or the Eurostar international terminals. Alternatively, you can take the train directly from Gatwick or Waterloo to Portsmouth and hop onto either the hovercraft or FastCat and we will pick you up on this side of the Solent!
