How it works
Travelling to South Lodge, 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 lodge gates open onto a beech-lined drive — cars deliver to the porte-cochère, and wedding-day fleets stage by the walled garden.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
South Lodge to Dover Cruise Port or the reverse — the fixed fare from £213 holds either way.
Between the South Lodge lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.

Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book.
