Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Eurotunnel Folkestone, and a car at the door at The Pelham — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
The Pelham to Eurotunnel Folkestone · Hotel route
A fixed-price chauffeur between The Pelham London and Eurotunnel Folkestone — 74 miles, typically 2h 15–3h 10, in either direction. Booked in advance, met in person, sailing tracked on the way in.

Your journey
Travelling to The Pelham, 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: cromwell Place holds a workable kerb directly outside; museum-day traffic peaks mid-morning, which our timings simply avoid.
A named chauffeur with your board at Eurotunnel Folkestone, and a car at the door at The Pelham — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Our drivers know the South Kensington approach and the Eurotunnel Folkestone pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Between the The Pelham lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
