Your journey
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Blakes, your driver meets you at the Eurotunnel Folkestone passenger terminal with a name board, your sailing tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: roland Gardens is narrow and residential; your chauffeur arrives two minutes early, waits with the engine off, and loads quickly out of neighbourly courtesy.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the South Kensington approach and the Eurotunnel Folkestone pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Sailing tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Luggage handled
Between the Blakes lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
