Worth knowing
Good to know about Dover Port to Canterbury.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll — and, where the route applies, the London Congestion Charge and ULEZ — is inside your price.
Licensed, insured, vetted
Every P5 chauffeur is fully licensed private hire, insured and vetted — name, photo and number sent before the day.
The run itself
Expect 45 min–1h to Canterbury. Because we track the sailing, the car leaves to match when you actually arrive, not the timetable.
Where your driver meets you
Your chauffeur waits at the passenger terminal at Dover Port with a name board and helps with the luggage before the direct run to Canterbury.
Driving Dover Port to Canterbury
Most of what goes wrong on a transfer goes wrong at the two ends — the meet and the price. From Dover Port to Canterbury we take both off the table: your driver is at the passenger terminal with your name, the luggage is theirs to carry, and the 45 min–1h run is at a figure agreed when you book, not one that drifts with the traffic.
Cruise porters take the cases at the terminal; ferry foot-passenger luggage is self-carried. Reckon on 45 min–1h for the drive, with 15 minutes of complimentary waiting so a slow disembarkation never costs you the car. Every toll, and the London charges where they apply, sits inside the fare — nothing to settle at the kerb.
