Dover Ferry Port Transfer Price
Standard
Executive
Fixed fares for the whole vehicle, up to 8 passengers. Prices include the airport fee.
Dover Ferry Port is around 270 miles south of Leeds — a long run, but a straightforward one for cruise passengers and ferry travellers who need one vehicle for the whole group and all the luggage a cruise or continental trip involves.
Ridecore Travel covers the full Leeds-to-Dover route in one 8-seater vehicle at a fixed fare of £600 (8-Seater Standard) or £640 (8-Seater Executive) — the same whether you are one passenger or a group of eight with cruise cases.
The route from Leeds to Dover Ferry Port
The drive is mostly motorway: south on the M1, around London on the M25, then down the A2/M2 into Dover — around 4 hours 30 minutes covering roughly 270 miles in normal traffic. The M25 and approach to Dover can be significantly slower during school holidays and peak cruise-season weekends, so we build extra time into early departures.
We collect from any address across Leeds and the wider LS postcode area. This fixed fare is priced from Leeds City Centre; pickups outside the city centre may vary slightly with distance, and we confirm the exact price when you book. Given the length of this route, we recommend booking as early as possible to secure your slot, especially for weekend cruise departures.
Dover cruise and ferry terminals
We drop off directly at the relevant Dover cruise terminal or ferry check-in area — tell us your cruise line or ferry operator when booking so we go to the correct terminal. For return journeys we track your ferry crossing or cruise disembarkation time where possible and adjust pickup accordingly.
Travelling with cruise luggage? Let us know your case count at booking (up to 8 large cases comfortably fit alongside 8 passengers) so we can confirm the load in advance.
Why book a fixed-price transfer for a long-distance port run
A 267-mile door-to-door transfer removes the need for an overnight stop, parking at the port, or coordinating train connections with heavy luggage. Your fare is fixed before you travel, and the whole group and its cases travel together for the entire journey.
