Your journey
Door to door, one fixed price.
Travelling to The Wellesley, 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: the hotel faces the Lanesborough across Knightsbridge’s opening yards — cars use the Old Barrack Yard flank for a calmer load.
Every charge included
Tolls — plus the Congestion Charge and ULEZ where the route applies — sit inside the quoted fare.
Sailing tracked
Inbound legs are tracked live; the pickup shifts to your real arrival at no extra cost.
Known both ends
Our drivers know the Knightsbridge approach and the Eurotunnel Folkestone pickup layout, so neither end turns into a lap of the block.
Pick your class
The Wellesley to Eurotunnel Folkestone from £168.
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.
