Two of the most convenient ways to get from Salisbury to Stonehenge without a car are a taxi or the private Salisbury to Stonehenge Shuttle. Here's how they compare.
Price
Taxi: ┬ú30ÔÇô┬ú50 one way from Salisbury to Stonehenge. You will pay again for the return journey ÔÇö typically ┬ú60ÔÇô┬ú100 total for two trips. If you have four or more passengers sharing a cab, the per-person cost becomes more reasonable.
Shuttle: ┬ú20 return per person, all-inclusive. The return journey is already booked and reserved when you arrive ÔÇö no need to call for a cab from the middle of Salisbury Plain.
Convenience
Taxi: You can leave whenever you want, which suits visitors with flexible schedules. However, getting a taxi back from Stonehenge can be unreliable ÔÇö it is a remote location and many drivers don't want to come out. You may wait.
Shuttle: Fixed departure times. You choose your outbound and return slots when booking. The shuttle picks you up from the Stonehenge car park ÔÇö no mobile signal issues, no uncertainty.
What's Included
Taxi: The journey only. Luggage is at your feet.
Shuttle: Return journey, free luggage storage at Caboose for the whole day, and a takeaway coffee before you board.
Verdict
For most solo travellers and couples, the shuttle is the clear winner ÔÇö lower cost, guaranteed return, perks included. For groups of 5 or more sharing a large taxi, the cost comparison becomes closer, but the shuttle still wins on reliability of the return. Book the Salisbury to Stonehenge Shuttle in advance to guarantee your seat.
