Travel tips for City Airport to Dover taxi

City Airport pickup works best at the designated taxi rank outside the terminal building near the DLR station entrance. The airport's compact size means minimal walking distance from arrivals.

Evening departures avoid the worst M25 traffic but watch for Friday congestion around Dartford. Early morning pickups miss rush hour but allow extra time for Dover port security if catching ferries.

The Hartley services on M2 provides the only major rest stop with facilities if needed. Your driver can suggest the quickest route to Dover Eastern Docks versus Dover Western Docks depending on your final destination.

Business travellers should note City Airport's proximity to Canary Wharf creates additional traffic between 7-9am on weekdays.
