Rare jpalbny Posted June 29, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2010 We are looking for a private car company from London to Dover.Does anyone have someone they have used? Thanks :) If you have the energy I'd recommend making it a day trip rather than just a simple drive from London to Dover. It's more fun that way. We have used David Stubbs twice - once from London to Dover when we did an all-day tour to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, and St. Margaret before he dropped us off at the pier. The other time was from London to Southampton when we went to Stonehenge, Woodhenge, Salisbury, and Old Sarum before dropoff. He was very flexible and willing to take us wherever we wanted for however long we desired; we made up some of the itinerary on the fly and he was fine with that. His website is http://www.londoncountrytours.co.uk/ and his e-mail is davidstubbs56@blueyonder.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhohea Posted June 29, 2010 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2010 We are looking for a private car company from London to Dover.Does anyone have someone they have used? Thanks :) Used http://www.centralexectravel.co.uk/ Last July from Heathrow to Dover and return when doing an Oceania cruise and we are using them again on July 23 this year to get from Dover to London. Cost varies on what you want to do and see.They will do sightseeing or point to point pickup and drop off. Last year the driver dropped me at Harrods for 2 hours and took my mother on 2 hours driving around the London sites as she had never been there before and then returned and collected me. The drivers were both excellent and went out of their way to point out places of interest etc on each trip. Vehicles were new and very clean.

vdlcruiser Posted July 1, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2010 We just used Gatwick Executive cars scott46@hotmail.co.uk. He was sooo reasonable. Originally went thru a site Quotemetaxi and got a quote which was better than the others. I emailed him and he came to Dover and took us to Heathrow. He will go anywhere in the area. Nice Mercedes and very personable. We paid 130 euros and that was a great price. He would pick you up in Londaon and take you to Dover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach Nut Posted July 4, 2010 #9 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Cheryl and her husband, Bryan, run Woodford. They are very accommodating, quick to respond, punctual and the vehicle was comfortable. Inquiries: cherylfinch4@aol.co.uk We used them with couples we met on the roll call thread for our May 2010 Baltic cruise, both from London to Southampton and then from Southampton to Heathrow. I forgot the small bag with my orthopedic shoes in the car on the return trip to the airport and didn't notice it until I had gotten too far into the airport process, so the shoes remained in London while I flew home to California. Cheryl and Bryan packed them up for me and mailed them to me immediately, at only the cost of postage. Looks like you have a lot of good companies to choose from. Enjoy your cruise.:) Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their price is as good as anyone else and we were very happy with them last time. Just wanted to see who else might be less. Found one a little less, but not enough to change. Thanks again for all the good posts. :) Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
