Taxi from Dover Port to Central London: What to Expect
Dover is the UK's busiest ferry port and one of its main cruise ports, sitting around 75–80 miles south-east of Central London. A private cab is the simplest way to cover that distance with luggage: there is no shuttle between the terminals and Dover Priory station, so travelling by train still means a local taxi, a platform change and a transfer at the London end.
Pickups from Dover Cruise Terminal (Western Docks)
Cruise passengers are collected from the cruise terminals at the Western Docks. Once you've cleared the terminal with your luggage, your driver will be waiting with a name board. Send us your ship name when you book so we can time the pickup around your disembarkation slot.
Pickups from Dover Ferry Terminal (Eastern Docks)
Foot passengers arriving on cross-Channel ferries are met at the Eastern Docks passenger terminal. Share your ferry operator and sailing time and we'll be there when you come through.
The drive into London
The usual route runs up the A20 and M20 or the A2 and M2 towards the capital. Outside peak hours the journey takes around 1 hour 45 minutes, though weekday rush hour and Central London traffic can add time, so leave some margin if you have a train, hotel check-in or onward flight to catch.

Dover Port to Central London Cab: Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a taxi from Dover Port to Central London take?
The drive is around 75–80 miles and usually takes about 1 hour 45 minutes. Weekday rush hour and traffic in Central London can make it longer, so allow extra time if you have a connection to make.
Where will my driver meet me at Dover Port?
Cruise passengers are met at the Western Docks cruise terminal and ferry foot passengers at the Eastern Docks terminal. Your driver will be waiting with a name board once you've collected your luggage, and you'll have their contact details before you arrive.
What happens if my ship or ferry is delayed?
Give us your ship name or ferry sailing when you book. We keep an eye on arrival times and plan your pickup around them, so a late docking or slow disembarkation doesn't leave you stranded.
Is the fare fixed, or will it change with traffic?
Your fare is fixed when you book. There are no meters and no surge pricing, so traffic on the M20 or in London won't change the price you agreed.
Which car should I book for cruise luggage?
A saloon suits two people with two large cases. For more luggage choose an estate, and for families or groups an MPV or 8-seater. If you're unsure, tell us how many people and bags you have and we'll recommend the right vehicle.
Can you provide child or baby seats?
Yes. Add the number and type of child seats in the "Your Requirements" box when booking and they'll be fitted before your pickup.
Can I book a return from Central London to Dover Port?
Yes. Tick "Add a return journey" in the quote form, or ask when you call. We regularly take passengers from London hotels and homes to Dover for cruise departures and ferry crossings.
Can we stop on the way, for example at Canterbury?
Yes, extra stops can be added on request. Mention them in your requirements and we'll include them in your quote.

We accept credit and debit cards, cash and bank transfer. You can confirm your preferred payment method when you book.
