On the day
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Capital, 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: basil Street is the calm behind Harrods — cars wait directly at the hotel’s striped awning with none of Brompton Road’s drama.
Sailing tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Dover Cruise Port, and a car at the door at The Capital — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Knightsbridge approach and the Dover Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
