Your journey

Door to door, one fixed price.

Travelling to The Dorchester, 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: the Dorchester keeps one of the few true forecourts on Park Lane, so your chauffeur waits off the carriageway, directly beneath the entrance awning.

01

Every charge included

Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.

02

Met in person

A named chauffeur with your board at Eurotunnel Folkestone, and a car at the door at The Dorchester — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.

03

Luggage handled

Between the The Dorchester lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.

04

Sailing tracked

Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
