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.

01

Every charge included

Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.

02

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.

03

Sailing tracked

Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.

04

Luggage handled

Between the Blakes lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
