How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Londoner, 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: leicester Square is pedestrian at its heart; the hotel’s set-down on Whitcomb Street is the practised approach, thirty seconds from the doors.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Leicester Square approach and the Dover Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Luggage handled
Between the The Londoner lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Both directions, one price
The Londoner to Dover Cruise Port or the reverse — the fixed fare from £181 holds either way.
Cars & capacity
