What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to Sea Containers, 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: upper Ground runs behind the river frontage with the hotel’s own set-down bay — board under cover while the Thames does its thing beyond.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Eurotunnel Folkestone, and a car at the door at Sea Containers — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Both directions, one price
Sea Containers to Eurotunnel Folkestone or the reverse — the fixed fare from £166 holds either way.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the South Bank approach and the Eurotunnel Folkestone pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
