What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Capital, 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: 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.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Luggage handled
Between the The Capital lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
