Private parking firms
Off-site car parks and meet-and-greet firms are private businesses, not part of the port. Many are fine and cheaper, but check before you book: where the car is actually kept, how the transfer works and how often it runs, whether the car park has the Park Mark Safer Parking award, the firm's cancellation terms and recent reviews. Meet-and-greet firms that aren't the port's own can't use the terminal forecourt without paying the port's charges like anyone else.
What the port says about other parking firms: The port lists alternatives a short taxi or bus ride away: Southampton Airport's park and sail for Portsmouth cruises, Portsmouth Market Way (NCP), Gunwharf Quays, the Solent Hotel, an ibis Portsmouth Centre stay-and-park deal, Portsmouth City Council car parks and JustPark. Motorhomes and caravans before early sailings may use limited hard standing in front of the multi-storey, at the owner's risk.
