Discover & Explore Dover
Known as the "Key to England," Dover is a gateway steeped in over two thousand years of history and dramatic coastal beauty. As you travel from Ashford, you are heading toward the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, a world-famous natural landmark that has symbolized home and hope for generations. This bustling port town seamlessly blends its military heritage with a modern, thriving waterfront, offering visitors a unique perspective on Britain’s island history and its vital connection to mainland Europe.
Dominating the skyline is the magnificent Dover Castle, the largest castle in England. Here, you can immerse yourself in the royal court of Henry II or descend into the Secret Wartime Tunnels, where the miraculous Dunkirk evacuation was masterminded during WWII. For a more tranquil experience, a walk along the cliff-top paths toward the South Foreland Lighthouse offers panoramic views of the English Channel, where on a clear day, the coast of France is visible across the world’s busiest shipping lane.
Our Ashford to Dover taxi service is tailored to the needs of every traveler, whether you are embarking on a luxury cruise from the Dover Western Docks, catching a cross-channel ferry at the Eastern Docks, or visiting the Roman Painted House. Our drivers are experts in port logistics and terminal drop-offs, ensuring you avoid the stress of navigating the busy A20 or the complexities of port parking. We provide timely arrivals for all major cruise lines and ferry crossings, making your transition from road to sea completely seamless.
From the newly revived Marina Curve—perfect for a seaside coffee with a view—to the retail therapy at the St James Dover complex, the town is constantly evolving.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs
How much does a taxi from Ashford to Dover cost?
The typical fare for a standard saloon taxi from Ashford to Dover ranges from £55.00 to £60.00. This is a fixed-price estimate covering the journey from Ashford town center or Ashford International to the Dover Port or town center. Please note that journeys between 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM may be subject to a nighttime tariff.
How long is the taxi ride from Ashford to the Dover Cruise Terminal?
The journey usually takes approximately 25 to 30 minutes via the M20 and A20. Our drivers are experts at navigating the port entrance and will drop you directly at the doors of Cruise Terminal 1 or 2, ensuring you don’t have to carry heavy luggage across the terminal.
Is it better to take a taxi than the train for a ferry crossing?
Yes, especially for groups or those with luggage. While the train connects Ashford International to Dover Priory, you would still need a local cab to get from the station to the Eastern Docks (Ferries) or Western Docks (Cruises). A direct taxi from Ashford provides door-to-door service, bypassing station stairs and the hassle of multiple transfers.
Do you provide a "Meet and Greet" service for returning cruise passengers?
Absolutely. We offer a professional Meet and Greet service at the Dover Cruise Terminals.
What happens if my ferry or cruise is delayed?
We understand that maritime travel can be unpredictable. We monitor arrival times for all major ferry operators and cruise lines. If your arrival into Dover is delayed, we will adjust your pick-up time automatically so your driver is there exactly when you disembark, at no extra cost to you.
Can I book a large vehicle for a family group with lots of luggage?
Yes. For families or groups heading on holiday, we recommend booking one of our 6-seater or 8-seater MPVs. These vehicles offer significantly more boot space than a standard saloon, ensuring that large suitcases and travel gear fit comfortably and safely.
Do you offer wheelchair-accessible taxis to Dover?
Yes, we have a dedicated fleet of wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs). Our drivers are fully trained in securing wheelchairs and assisting passengers with mobility needs. Please mention your requirements when booking so we can ensure the most suitable vehicle is dispatched.
Is your service available for early morning ferry departures?
Our service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We regularly handle 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM pick-ups for travelers catching the early cross-channel ferries. We highly recommend pre-booking these early slots at least 24 hours in advance for total peace of mind.
Are your taxis pet-friendly for those traveling to Europe?
Yes! Many of our customers travel with pets heading to the ferry or the Eurotunnel. We offer pet-friendly taxis at no extra charge—just let us know during the booking process so we can send a vehicle with a pet-friendly interior.
How do I pay for my Ashford to Dover transfer?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay via our secure in-car terminals. You can also choose to pay in cash or pre-pay through our secure online booking portal or mobile app.
