Car Transport London to Portsmouth

Car and Motorcycle Transport From London to Portsmouth

At around 75 miles down the A3 and M3 before joining the M27, London to Portsmouth is one of the shortest routes we run, usually completed within half a day including loading. Most jobs on this corridor are either heading for the continental ferry port or the Isle of Wight crossing rather than staying in the city itself.

Motorcycles travel this route as often as cars, particularly ahead of a European trip where the rider would rather not put miles on the bike getting to the port in the first place.

Delivering to the ferry port

Tell us your crossing time and we will plan the delivery to arrive with a sensible margin rather than cutting it fine. Port access can have its own rules for drop-off, which the driver will already be familiar with on this route.

Isle of Wight connections

Some cars on this route are going no further than Portsmouth to catch the IoW ferry themselves, in which case the transporter delivers to the mainland terminal and the crossing itself is entirely separate from anything we arrange.

Motorcycles alongside cars

A motorcycle can travel on the same transporter as cars heading the same way, secured separately rather than loaded loose. Let us know if it is a bike rather than a car when booking so the right equipment is sent.

The A3, M3 and M27

This route is short enough that delay is more about the London end than the road itself; getting away from a central London address in reasonable time matters more here than any single stretch of motorway further south.

How pricing works even on a short route

Even at 75 miles, your job is priced the same way to our 3,000 vetted drivers, so it is matched to a driver already working in the area rather than one routed down specially from elsewhere.

• Cars and motorcycles delivered to the ferry port for onward travel
• Vehicles staying local to Portsmouth rather than travelling further
• Non-runners collected where a bike or car cannot be ridden or driven
• Open transport as standard for this shorter corridor

See our Portsmouth vehicle transport page for local delivery, or BCA car transport if the vehicle is coming from an auction rather than a private address.

Continental ferries versus the Isle of Wight crossing

Portsmouth serves both the longer continental ferry routes and the short Isle of Wight crossing, and the two use different terminals within the port. Telling us which one applies means the driver heads straight for the right gate rather than working it out on arrival.

Securing a motorcycle correctly

A motorcycle needs wheel chocks and separate straps rather than the drive-on ramps used for cars, and a driver unfamiliar with bikes can easily get this wrong. Our network includes drivers experienced with motorcycle loading specifically, not just car transporters pressed into carrying one.

What our customers say

Portsmouth ferry route questions

Can a motorcycle be transported alongside cars on the same run to Portsmouth?

Yes, a motorcycle can share a transporter with cars heading the same way, secured on its own rather than loaded with the cars. Flag it as a bike when booking.

Does K9 deliver straight to the ferry port for an Isle of Wight crossing?

Yes, delivery to the mainland ferry terminal is a routine drop-off on this route. The IoW crossing itself is arranged separately with the ferry operator.

What if my ferry time changes after the transport is booked?

Let us know as soon as the new time is confirmed and we will adjust the delivery window where possible, particularly useful on a short route like this one.
