Dover Port to Gatwick Airport: what to expect
Most of what goes wrong on a transfer goes wrong at the two ends — the meet and the price. From Dover Port to Gatwick Airport we take both off the table: your driver is at the passenger terminal with your name, the luggage is theirs to carry, and the 2h 15–3h 10 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 2h 15–3h 10 for the drive, with 45 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.
