Port Parking Cruise Dover

The friendly staff will soon put your mind at ease when you get to Dover Port Parking. It is the ideal place to keep your car while you're enjoying your cruise. Drive up to the barrier where a member of staff will let you in, park your car in a space outside reception, give your keys to the receptionist and catch the bus to the port. It's that easy!
