Travel notes
Good to know about Dover Port to Folkestone.
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 Folkestone.
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
The Folkestone road runs about 20–30 min from Dover Port. Your driver reads the live traffic and, with the sailing tracked, times the pickup to your real arrival.
Tolls & charges included
Every road toll — and, where the route applies, the London Congestion Charge and ULEZ — is inside your price.
Driving Dover Port to Folkestone
This is a journey decided before you arrive: whether the driver watched the sailing, whether the price moved, and whether anyone is standing at the passenger terminal at Dover Port when you come off. On the Folkestone run we settle all three in advance — the sailing tracked, the fare from £47 fixed, and a named chauffeur waiting with a board.
Cruise porters take the cases at the terminal; ferry foot-passenger luggage is self-carried. Reckon on 20–30 min 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.
