Dover to Heathrow Airport taxi
From £195 fixed for a pre-booked saloon to Heathrow Airport.
A pre-booked car from Dover to Heathrow is from £195.00 for a saloon, fixed when you book. It is 104.1 miles by road and about 1 hour 50 minutes. Nothing scheduled runs direct: the National Express coach to Dover, the 007, starts at London Victoria, and the fast train from Dover Priory runs to St Pancras, so either way you change in London with your luggage.

| Train to St Pancras, then on to Heathrow | Cost for 2: £48.60 for the Dover Priory to St Pancras leg alone as an Anytime Day Single, with some Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets available; the onward fare to Heathrow is extra | Journey time: 1 hour 3 minutes at fastest to St Pancras, then a cross-London connection | Door to door? No | Pre-bookable? Yes |
| National Express 007 coach via Victoria | Cost for 2: No airport-to-Dover fare could be read on the operator's pages, so we print none | Journey time: About 3 hours 5 minutes to 4 hours between Victoria and Dover town centre, plus the Heathrow to Victoria leg | Door to door?

When not to book us: Dover is not a place the scheduled network connects to Heathrow directly. The best public option is the Southeastern high-speed train, which reaches St Pancras in 1 hour 3 minutes at its fastest, £48.60 for an Anytime Day Single on that leg alone, with some Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak tickets available, and then leaves you to cross London to Heathrow with whatever you are carrying. Dover Priory is also just over a mile from the cruise terminals, about 25 minutes on foot, so a cruise passenger starts with a taxi anyway. The coach is slower still: the 007 runs from Victoria to Dover town centre in about 3 hours 5 minutes to 4 hours, and the last one back towards London leaves Dover at 16:50, or 17:50 from Tuesday to Thursday. Against that, the drive is about 102 miles, roughly 2 hours free-flow. If you are a light traveller with time in London, the train is a reasonable choice. If you are coming off a ship or a ferry with cases, travelling as a family, or flying in the evening, a car from the terminal to Heathrow is one booking instead of three.
Which traveller are you?
| If you are | What we would suggest |
|---|---|
| Light luggage and a day to spare in London | The train to St Pancras, then onward. It suits a trip that stops in London anyway. |
| Disembarking a cruise ship | A car from the cruise terminal. Every other option starts with a taxi to the station. |
| Off a ferry at the Eastern Docks | A car from the ferry terminal, booked to your sailing's arrival. |
| A family with several cases | A car. One fare and no change of trains across London. |
| Flying from Heathrow in the evening | A car. The last coach out of Dover leaves in the late afternoon. |

Lowest live operator quote for this direction, saloon, 26 October 2026.
Each leg is quoted separately and a different operator can win each, so this price can differ from the Dover to Heathrow Airport price at the top of this page.
To book this direction, set Heathrow Airport as your pick-up in the form at the top of this page.
On this leg the fixed price also includes:
- 60 minutes free waiting after your flight lands; the rank meter charges from the moment you sit down
- express pick-up at the airport's designated pick-up point
- flight tracking, so a delayed arrival moves your pick-up time
Where you meet your driver
- Tell us whether you are at the cruise terminals in the Western Docks or the ferry terminal in the Eastern Docks. They have different postcodes, CT17 9DQ and CT16 1JA, and different road approaches.
- Your driver's mobile number arrives in the supplier details email, which is separate from the booking confirmation. Save it before you travel.
- Your flight into Heathrow is tracked at no charge, so a delay moves the pick-up rather than cancelling it. The free waiting in your fare starts at landing, as set out above.
- Express pick-up at the designated point is included. Your driver will not be at the black taxi ranks outside the terminals, which Heathrow refers to Transport for London for fares; a name board in arrivals is meet and greet, a paid extra.
Contact your driver as soon as you land, their number is in your supplier details email.
Arrivals-hall meet and greet with a name board is available as a paid extra at checkout.
Questions people ask about this route
How much is a taxi from Dover to Heathrow?
The quote at the top of this page prices a saloon for your date, live, and it does not change after you book. It is charged per vehicle, so the figure is the same for one person or four. Enter your date and pick-up point for a bookable price.
Do you collect from Dover cruise terminals?
Yes, from Cruise Terminals 1 and 2 in the Western Docks, sat-nav postcode CT17 9DQ. Cruise Terminal 1's own address is Lord Warden Square, CT17 9EQ. Give your ship and expected disembarkation time when you book.
Can you pick us up at the ferry terminal?
Yes. The Eastern Docks ferry terminal is at sat-nav postcode CT16 1JA. Tell us your sailing so the driver works to your arrival.
Is there a direct coach from Dover to Heathrow?
No. National Express route 007 runs between Dover town centre and London Victoria only, so you change at Victoria for Heathrow.
How far is Dover Priory station from the cruise terminals?
Just over a mile, about a 25 minute walk, according to the Port of Dover. There are taxi ranks at the cruise terminals and outside the station.
How long does the drive take?
About 102 miles, roughly 2 hours free-flow. Free-flow ignores traffic, so allow more for the M25 at busy times.
What if our flight lands late?
The flight is tracked, the driver moves to the actual landing time, and your free waiting starts then, as described above.
Do you cover Folkestone, Deal and the rest of east Kent?
Yes. Each is priced to its own address, so put the postcode into the form for that journey.
Is the fare per person?
No. It is one price for the car, which is why a group usually comes out ahead of separate tickets.
Can I cancel?
Yes, in full, up to 24 hours before pick-up. After that the fare is charged. Changes go through the link in your confirmation email, on the same 24 hours.
