Airport, Cruise & Private Transfer Specialists

Southampton’s Most Trusted Private Hire Service — Over 40 Years

Paragon Taxis has been Southampton’s first choice for private hire and airport transfers for over 40 years. Based in Southampton, we specialise in fixed-fare transfers to and from Southampton’s cruise ports and all major London airports — Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton.

Whether you’re joining a cruise at one of Southampton’s five cruise terminals, catching an early flight, or arriving after a long voyage, Paragon Taxis delivers a professional, punctual service you can rely on. All our drivers hold BTEC, NVQ and Safeguarding Level 2 qualifications, every fare is fixed in advance, and your driver will be waiting in the pick-up lane with a clearly visible nameboard on every booking.

We operate 4-seater saloon, 6-seater MPV, and 8-seater minivan vehicles — accommodating solo travellers, couples, families, and groups of up to 8 passengers. All fares are per vehicle, not per person. With four decades of experience on Southampton’s key transfer routes, we know what our passengers need — and we deliver it, every time.

    Truly compassionate, accommodating, and exceptional! We originally booked a private tour with Paragon Taxis, but our planned stop in Southampton had to be canceled completely due to severe storms and technical issues with our cruise ship. Under normal cancellation policies, we wouldn't have expected to receive any refund on such short notice. However, what the team at Paragon Taxis did completely overwhelmed us: Even on a Sunday evening, Joe was immediately available via email. The Team met our heartbreaking cancellation with so much empathy and kindly refunded us a large portion of the tour price out of pure goodwill—something we never expected! In this day and age, such thoughtfulness and genuine humanity are a rare exception. Even though our tour couldn't take place this time, we are absolutely thrilled. For any future trips to the UK, Paragon Taxis will be at the very top of our list. We wish all future guests a wonderful time with their fantastic drivers and send a heartfelt 5-star rating along with our highest recommendation!

    I am a travel agent here in USA and have used Paragon Taxi for cliends traveling to Southampton. I started using Paragon with the prevous owner Adrian. A++ service. The night before pickup, he would send photos to my clients of the meeting area. With clients unfamiliar with Southampton airports, this made it easier to get to the spot. He was just wonderful. To my surprise, Adrian retired earlier this year. The new owner Joe is wonderful. I have referred three cliends to him with in the last 6 months. Joe is amazing. One of my cliends uses a mobility devise. Joe took time to explain to me about UK's mobility accommodations. In his fleet he has vehicles that can accommodate devises and ones that can store. This is very important in my business. Being in another country you have to trust who you are working with and I have that with Paragon Taxi. They know the area, the airports, cruise port. Joe even checks clients flights days before just to make sure all is in order. So wonderful. If you are heading to Southampton and need transportation, you can trust Paragon Taxi. On time and vert friendly. I am happy w prices. You can't get better than Joe and Paragon Taxi.

    I booked a 10-hour tour from Paragon Taxi after our cruise disembarkation to take me to Winchester and Windsor before we catch our flight at Heathrow airport. From the begging to the end, Joe was super helpful, attentive, and always responded promptly. Our driver Rob was amazing, super friendly and gave us lots of background info during sightseeing. The quoted price was super reasonable compare with the quote we got from London. Highly recommended!

    Paragon Taxis collected my mother who's in her 80's from Heathrow Airport onto Southampton Cruise Terminal with ease. Communication was excellent and we can't recommend this company highly enough. Joe the owner messaged to say he'd picked up and dropped off safely. My family would highly recommend.

    Wonderful service from Joe at Paragon Taxis. I travelled in comfort from Eastleigh to Cambridge on a roasting hot day recently. The vehicle was spotlessly clean, with air con and window blinds. I arrived at my destination cool and calm, Joe even offered water and hand wipes, he also collected me for the return journey. Joe is a safe experienced, punctual and courteous driver. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and would definitely book his service again.

    We were picked up at our hotel near Heathrow. Adrian took us to Windsor Castle and then on to the port in Southampton. You will not find better service!! Very knowledgeable and willing to share history of the area. Will definitely use Paragon again if in the area. Bruce and Priscilla Mayhan
