On the day
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Middle Eight, 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: great Queen Street is broad by Covent Garden standards — cars wait directly outside, opposite the Freemasons’ Hall’s deco cliff.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Sailing tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Covent Garden approach and the Eurotunnel Folkestone pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
