What to expect
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Standard, 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: argyle Street, the hotel’s own side, is far calmer than Euston Road; cars wait at the door and the ride out is planned around the one-way grid.
Luggage handled
Between the The Standard lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the King’s Cross approach and the Dover Cruise Port pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Dover Cruise Port, and a car at the door at The Standard — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
