What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Royal Garden, 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 hotel keeps a genuine drive-in forecourt off the High Street — one of the easiest pickups in west London, even with a full luggage set.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Kensington approach and the Dover Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Dover Cruise Port, and a car at the door at Royal Garden — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Luggage handled
Between the Royal Garden lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
