    I'm interested too. I can find the Relyon one at £4.50 a day (says the shuttle takes us to the cruise port) and the Port Authority one £6.50 a day for shorter cruises which has the luxury of being right there, I believe.

    Which ones have you found?

    I'd give hem a ring if I were you.

    I'm just waiting for my travel confirmation to arrive and I shall book whichever inspires me the most in the moment! Luckily our cruise cost was a real steal so I am not so bothered about the parking rates.

    The ferry terminal and the cruise terminal are in entirely different places probably over a mile apart. With Relyon, you drive to their premises on an industrial estate and then they take you by minibus to either the cruise terminal or the ferry terminal, whichever you have booked. When you return, they collect you from there as well and take you back to your car.

    So you need to book for whichever terminal you need to get transport to and from the correct place.

    I suppose the difference in price may be because of the extra distance to the dearer alternative???

    We have used Relyon at Dover for three cruises so far, and have found them to be excellent and very reliable.

    Or park for free on Taswell St, Taswell Close or Harold St. It's 1km to the eastern docks and about 1.5km to the cruise terminal in the western docks.
