What to expect
Travelling to ME London, 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 Aldwych crescent gives the cleaner stop; your chauffeur waits by the theatre side and the doorman signals your descent from the lobby.
ME London to Dover Cruise Port or the reverse — the fixed fare from £181 holds either way.
A named chauffeur with your board at Dover Cruise Port, and a car at the door at ME London — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Our drivers know the Strand approach and the Dover Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Between the ME London lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
