Airport Transfer Heathrow to Portsmouth
about 66 miles — 80–95 minutes off-peak — 110–135 minutes at peak
Heathrow to Portsmouth is about 66 miles, and unlike most of the Heathrow corridors it is an A-road journey rather than a motorway one for much of its length. It serves three quite different destinations that happen to share a city: the international ferry port, the cruise terminal, and the naval base and historic dockyard.

Local Knowledge on This Route
Off the M25 at junction 10 and south on the A3. The A3 is dual carriageway throughout and the Hindhead tunnel removed what used to be the worst bottleneck, so the road itself is now reliable — the delays are the M25 approach and, at the far end, the M275 spur into the city, which backs up around ferry sailings. Which Portsmouth you want changes the last few miles considerably: the International Port, the cruise terminal and the Historic Dockyard have separate approaches, and a ferry sailing time is as immovable as a cruise departure. Name the destination precisely at booking.
Meet-and-Greet and Pickup
Your chauffeur meets you in your terminal's arrivals hall with a name board and assists with luggage. If you are connecting to a ferry or cruise sailing, give that departure time so the pickup is planned backwards from check-in rather than forwards from your landing.
