Solent Blue Line and UniLink Southampton also offer comprehensive services throughout the city. Discounted fares, day travelcards and passes enabling travel of seven, 28 or 90 days are available for some services.

Taxis

Taxis can be hailed on the street or at ranks at the railway and bus stations. To pre-book a taxi try Abbeytax or Streamline Taxis.

Car Hire

There are numerous car rental firms operating in Southampton. Alamo Avis , Enterprise , Hertz and National all have offices either at the airport, in the city or both.

Bicycle Hire

Southampton is relatively small and, for the most part, flat, so a bike is a great way to get around and see the city sights. However, at the time of writing, there is nowhere in the city that rents out bicycles. G A Cycles, 65 Shirley Road sells a good selection and is just a short walk from Southampton Central railway station. Further afield, Cycle Experience, Brookley Road, Brockenhurst does rent out bikes and is close to the New Forest.
