On the day
Travelling to The May Fair, 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: stratton Street is short and one-way; cars wait directly at the awning, and the doormen turn the kerb over briskly on event nights.
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
The May Fair to Eurotunnel Folkestone or the reverse — the fixed fare from £155 holds either way.
Our drivers know the Mayfair approach and the Eurotunnel Folkestone pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Between the The May Fair lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
