How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Dorchester, your driver meets you at the Southampton Cruise Port 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.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
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 Southampton Cruise Port, and a car at the door at The Dorchester — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
