Pickup in Ferndown
Ferndown sits north of Bournemouth on the edge of the heathland, with fast access to the A31 — often the quickest BCP pickup point for eastbound airport runs because you skip the Bournemouth congestion entirely. Popular with commuters and retirees alike. The town grew around the golf club and heathland, with leafy residential roads off the A348 corridor. Pickups here are residential and straightforward — no town-centre one-way systems to clear. Ferndown's position on the A31 trunk means you're on the main London airport route within three minutes of leaving the drive, and you bypass the Poole and Bournemouth morning traffic that adds time to a central BCP pickup. The trade-off is that Ferndown is further from Southampton than western towns like Ringwood, so for Southampton Airport runs we sometimes route via Wimborne instead.
What's in the fare
Meet and greet at Cardiff, an hour after landing, drop-off fees and tolls. Child seats if you asked. The number on this page is the number you pay from the core towns — extras only if you add stops or land well outside that hour.
