From Heathrow Airport (TW6) the natural line out is the M4 J4 and the M25 J14, joining M20/A20 into Dover, then the Western Docks approach for the last part of the journey. That is about 133.0 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 45m off-peak becomes 3h 20m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Cruise Terminal 2 at the Western Docks, at the baggage drop. Cruise Terminal 1 and 2 are a mile apart at Dover, so give us the terminal number from your cruise line and we go straight to it.
Address: Western Docks, Dover, CT17 9TF.
Any address in Heathrow Airport works, along with the wider TW6 area of Greater London. That includes home addresses, hotels, offices and the station forecourt.
Meet and greet at Heathrow Airport is included: the driver watches the flight, parks, and is in arrivals before you clear customs.
Most lines close boarding 90 minutes before sailing. Working back from that, and allowing 3h 20m for the drive, an early-morning departure from Heathrow Airport gives you a comfortable margin at the terminal.
On disembarkation day the terminal empties in waves. Book the return from Dover Cruise Terminal to Heathrow Airport at the same time and the driver is waiting when your colour is called, at the same £225.
A saloon is from £225, an estate from £275, a 6-seat MPV from £325 and an 8-seat minibus from £425. The price is fixed when you book and covers the charges listed above.
It is about 2h 45m off-peak over roughly 133.0 miles. Allow up to 3h 20m in peak traffic or around a busy sailing.
