Our Track Record in Portsmouth to London
The A3 northbound from Portsmouth through Surrey is one of England's busiest commuter routes.
The Hindhead Tunnel, opened in 2011, removed a major A3 bottleneck at the Devil's Punch Bowl.
The Wisley junction where the A3 meets the M25 J10 is the route's main remaining congestion point.
Giant Van times Portsmouth departures to pass this junction before 08:30 or after 09:30 northbound to avoid the worst of the commuter peak.
The A3 through Kingston and Tolworth into southwest London is urban and congested during school drop-off periods.
Our drivers use live traffic data to choose between the A3 Kingston approach and the M25 J9 A243 Kingston alternative depending on conditions.
