Dover is the closest port to France, with the White Cliffs above the Channel. From Heathrow it is the longest route on this list, crossing the whole of south-east England. Your Zonetransfers chauffeur stands in the arrivals hall of the Heathrow terminal you land at and heads straight for Dover at a fixed fare from €215.
Dover is about 165 km from Heathrow, normally 2 h door to door. The Zonetransfers fare starts at €215 for the car and up to four people, agreed before you fly.

Dover handles both cruise ships and Channel ferries, and Heathrow is where many passengers start the journey. A private car crosses Kent in about two hours and stops at the right dock, with a short break if you need one.
