Both directions, one price
The Ritz to Eurotunnel Folkestone or the reverse — the fixed fare from £155 holds either way.
The Ritz to Eurotunnel Folkestone · Hotel route
A fixed-price chauffeur between The Ritz London and Eurotunnel Folkestone — 72 miles, typically 2h 10–3h 05, in either direction. Booked in advance, met in person, sailing tracked on the way in.

On the day
Travelling to The Ritz, 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: pickups run from Arlington Street at the hotel’s side entrance, where the doormen know to expect pre-booked chauffeurs — smoother than stopping on Piccadilly itself.
The Ritz to Eurotunnel Folkestone or the reverse — the fixed fare from £155 holds either way.
Between the The Ritz 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.
A named chauffeur with your board at Eurotunnel Folkestone, and a car at the door at The Ritz — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
