Your journey
Travelling to The Corinthia, your driver meets you at the Dover Cruise Port passenger terminal with a name board, your sailing tracked. Leaving the hotel, the car waits at the door: the crescent drive off Whitehall Place shelters arriving cars completely — one of the few central hotels where you board under cover whatever the weather.
Between the The Corinthia lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Our drivers know the Whitehall approach and the Dover Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Pick your class
