How it works
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Wellesley, 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: the hotel faces the Lanesborough across Knightsbridge’s opening yards — cars use the Old Barrack Yard flank for a calmer load.
Luggage handled
Between the The Wellesley lobby and the quay, the cases are the driver’s job, not yours.
Met in person
A named chauffeur with your board at Dover Cruise Port, and a car at the door at The Wellesley — no rank, no app, no waiting on a stranger.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Cars & capacity
The Wellesley to Dover Cruise Port from £183.
Six classes, one standard of care. Saloon, one way, off-peak. Rush hour, nights (10pm–6am) and bank holidays cost more; the return leg is 5% off when booked together — your quote shows the exact price before you book. Once you book, the price never changes.
