Oxford private hire
Oxford to Utilita Bowl taxi
Private hire from Oxford to the Utilita Bowl at West End, near Southampton. Hampshire cricket, quoted for the date on your ticket.
The Hampshire ground, formerly the Rose Bowl
The Utilita Bowl is Hampshire's cricket ground at West End, on the edge of Southampton. For years it was widely called the Rose Bowl. This page uses the current ground name, and a quote request that says Rose Bowl still reaches us.
It is cricket, not a cruise. Southampton's cruise terminals have a separate page, Oxford to Southampton Cruise Terminal. Do not use the ship booking if you are going to the ground, and do not use this page for a sailing.
We do not list the international or domestic fixtures. Send the date on the ticket. We are not affiliated with Hampshire or with the ground.
One way to West End, or a return to Oxford
Choose one way or return on the form. A return should include the expected collection time after the match. Day matches and later finishes need different pickup times, so we do not guess one for you.
The collection point is agreed in the quote. We do not hold the vehicle at the ground unless you have asked for that and accepted the price.
What we will not invent about the drive
We will not publish a journey time, a car park name, or a gate. Event traffic around West End is managed on the day. We agree a drop off that those roads allow.
An 8 Seater is the group option, up to 8 passengers. A Standard Car takes up to 4. Both are quote on request. The other grounds are listed under cricket on event transfers.
Vehicles
Short format matches can finish later than a day of championship cricket. The return time you send should be the time you can actually meet the driver, not the first ball.
8 Seater
Quote on request
Up to 8 passengers. One collection for the group, not a seat each.
Questions
Is the Rose Bowl the same ground?
It is the earlier name for the Hampshire ground at West End. The current name we use is the Utilita Bowl. Either name is clear on a quote request.
Does the Southampton cruise price cover the cricket?
No. Cruise terminals and the Utilita Bowl are different destinations. This ground is quote on request.
Can you book the return if the match might finish late?
Send the time you expect to be ready. If that changes, contact us. We do not promise a car sitting at the ground.
Is there a published journey time from Oxford?
No. We do not print a driving time for this route.
Request a quote
Standard Car and 8 Seater are quote on request. Tell us the event date, the pickup time, and a return time if you need collecting afterwards. The return collection is agreed when we quote. Sending this form does not confirm the booking.
