The route runs east via Maidstone and the M20/A20 to Dover – about 56 miles. Ferry and cruise check-ins are the whole point of this journey, so when you book we work backwards from your sailing time and agree a pickup that leaves a proper buffer for the motorway and the port. Tell us your operator and sailing, and whether it is the ferry terminal or a cruise terminal.
Driving yourself means port parking for the length of the trip on top of fuel; the train to Dover Priory still leaves you a taxi ride from the station to the port, with your bags, against a check-in deadline. A fixed-fare taxi is door to terminal door – and on the way home, your driver is there when your ship docks.
Travelling as a group? The MPV and 8-seater minibus fares are in the table above, and we also run 10, 12 and 16-seater minibuses for larger parties – one vehicle, one fixed fare, everyone together. Book the return journey at the same time as the outward one and both ends are sorted: your driver will be at the agreed point at the agreed time, and if your plans shift on the day, call us and we will do our best to adjust. Regular travellers on this route – weekly commuters, hospital visitors, students – can set up a standing booking so the same run is confirmed every time without re-booking.
