I'll try to keep this concise:

Family cruise.  When we arrive in Portland, my granddaughter and myself are unable to participate in the bicycle ride the other four planned.  

Sarah and I want a drive to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, wait around about an hour so we can hobble down to the beach and back, and take us back to Weymouth near the back-to-the-crusie-ship shuttle.

Please tell me how to arrange this.

      Ouayside Portland Cruise Terminal: you need permission from the Port to pick up passengers quayside.  If not the shuttle stops at the entrance and a car could be at the Britannia Car Park (which is not on the maps)

      Good Life Cafe, 109 St Mary Street, Weymouth, Dorset DT4 8NY

    I am not a guru and not familiar with the UK. However I frequently use this site for the forum & my rideshare needs so I thought I would try to help. There is a ride fare calculator that you can put your location and destination in and it will then give you options on whats available and the price. Click on "RIDE" at the top left of this page.  Hope this was helpful:)

      Thank you!  I followed your advice and requested a quote through Taxicode.  I've been trying for weeks to find a way to round up a way for my granddaughter and self to have enjoyable day.  The rest of the family is bike riding.  We cannot do that do to leg issues.  Here's hoping I hear from them soon.

        • If you can provide me with a better idea where these places are i can get you answers. When I put lication and destination in there were a few choices I have no clue where these places are:) Portland Harbor to Durdle Door this is what came up but there were other choices. Didnt know if I picked right ones.
        • If you can give me the areas they are in like it shows in that 1st screenshot I can get you the rates.

          Thank you.  I  will try to be more specific but it's not easy.  The Norwegian Spirit shore time in the Portland Harbor on July 6th is 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

          Portland Harbor is tightly restricted.  We would like to be picked up as close to the cruise ship as possible.  We want to go to Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, hobble down to the beach for an hour or so, and then back to the town of Weymouth around 14:30 PM.  

          The remainder of the family is renting bikes and we two cannot ride bikes due to leg issues.  Hope this will help you help us.

            The 1st screeshot on my last post, is that the right places from the harbor  to Durdle door?

              The cruise ship terminal is close to the causeway.  The port doesn't allow taxis etc into the port.  A shuttle takes us out. Portland Castle seems to be the closest starting choice and the Weymouth Library is just a 2 min walk from 109 St Mary St where Sarah wants to have tea.  That would be the end point of our return trip from Durdle Door.

                I chose from your list.  If you need more specifics, let me know.
