Dunchurch to Portsmouth International is 133.1 miles and takes between 148 and 170 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 22 minutes between the quickest and slowest hour. Hampton Travel covers it as pre-booked private hire with a named driver confirmed the night before and a fixed price agreed in writing before you travel.
Measured for each departure time rather than quoted as a single average, because they are not the same journey.
| Leave Dunchurch at | Drive time | Route |
|---|---|---|
| 04:00 | 152 min | Clear roads |
| 07:00 | 170 min | A45 / M45 |
| 10:00 | 154 min | A45 / M45 |
| 16:00 | 158 min | A45 / M45 |
| 19:00 | 148 min | A45 / M45 |
That 22 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 07:00 hour that costs you the extra 22 minutes.
For a 07:00 departure from Portsmouth International we would collect you from Dunchurch at about 02:27 for a short-haul flight, or 01:27 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.
| If your flight leaves | Type | At the ferry port by | We collect you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:00 | Short haul | 05:00 | 02:27 |
| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 01:27 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 06:27 |
Worked examples for a 07:00 departure. Give us the real flight time and the whole table shifts with it.
At 133.1 miles this is a long drive at the end of a flight, so the landing hour changes the arrival home considerably.
| You land at | Drive back to Dunchurch | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 154 min | 13:19 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 158 min | 19:23 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 148 min | 22:13 |
Times allow 45 minutes from landing to being in the car. On a run this length an evening arrival means most of the drive is on empty motorway, which is why the late figures are not the worst ones.
If the inbound is delayed we track it and send the driver to the actual landing time, not the one you booked. No waiting charge either way.
We leave Dunchurch on the A45 and join at M45. At 133.1 miles it is a long-distance journey. The slowest hour we have measured on it is 07:00 at 170 minutes, against 148 at 19:00. That is the window to plan around.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
