UNRELIABLE AND RUDE - DO NOT USE!…read more I used Taxi Van to move home from university and received an absolutely appalling service. The van arrived more than 5 hours late and carried out extra jobs en route which had not been agreed. The driver illegally used his mobile phone without hands free, making personal calls with me (the customer) in the van. Complaints were brushed off and dealt with in a thuggish manner. No refund was received for the extra jobs which were out of the way and added extra time to my journey. We had paid for sole use of the van. Terrible, would never use again or consider recommending. 0/10.

I get told that would cost me £25, implying I would get a discount because its normally £30. I was disgusted and offended that a simple car ride would result in profit mongering.

After little sleep in an expensive hotel due to a fire alarm, I travelled out of town to relax…read morebefore my long flight back from UK to Australia. Of course, this meant I didn't have any accommodation set up in advance. But the lovely Albanian taxi driver who met me at Canterbury West station rang some hotels while driving me to others to find a suitable room during Freshers Week (who from Australia knows what that is?) with most places fully booked. I really needed two nights in the one spot so I wouldn't have to drag myself out of bed by someone else's timetable. With plenty of drunk students roaming the midnight streets, it really was wonderful to have such a taxi driver turn around the image of being taken advantage of when vulnerable in an unknown city. Many thanks (& I know other customers have been very happy too because of the calls coming in while I was in his car and he had other drivers look after them for him). Only sorry I didn't ask his name to thank him here personally.

Do not use this ferry company! They are disgusting and have awful business practices. In March…read more2020, we had ferry tickets to go to Ireland. The global pandemic broke as we were in the UK and we were required to return to the US as flights were shutting down. Every hotel and reservation we had refunded us without penalty - even nonrefundable things - EXCEPT P&O Ferries. They gave us a credit and refused to refund. Now we're at the credit expiration date, still in a pandemic, and they are refusing to refund the money. This company is STEALING from people who were put in peril to make a profit from the global pandemic. I will never use this company nor recommend them to others. Avoid traveling with them - you have other options that actually care about good business practices and their customers!

I've been using these ferries for motorcycle trips abroad for over a decade, and still find them…read morebest overall for value, service and convenience. The secret to good value is to book ahead: if you have a group booking, (often the case with motorcycles) this is best done over the phone as the website doesn't allow multiple bookings. Booked in January, a return crossing in July cost me just £46 per bike + passengers. (This is only £10 more than the price as a foot passenger!) Booking ahead applies to cars, too. The staff are helpful and usually quick at loading bikes: they go on first, and deck-hands help secure them down. Newer ships (of both Seafrance and P&O) sometimes have special cradles for holding bikes, but when it's busy there aren't enough to go around, and so a traditional webbing brace is used, secured to floor anchors. I've never had a problem with this, even in very rough weather (but remember to put your alarm onto 'ferry' or 'service' modes, unless you want to irritate other passengers and flatten your battery). The only problem I've encountered is that the decks do get slippery in wet weather, but that affects all ferries, and I've not dropped the bike yet... The timetable varies, but in high summer sailings leave roughly hourly, or better. The crossing takes about 90 minutes overall, but with the shops, bars and cafes, there's plenty to keep you occupied. For teenagers there's also a video-games room. But I prefer to be on deck: the Channel is the world's busiest shipping lane, so there's always something to see, if only the odd passing seagull! Note: the UK smoking ban means that smoking is now only allowed in designated outdoor deck areas. Note also that passport control is undertaken at the port of departure - so UK passport control is at Calais. Allow at least 30 extra minutes for this when leaving France for the UK, as the UK checks are stringent, and therefore can be very slow in high season. Checks leaving the UK for France are rather quicker. Overall, I'd advise arriving 45 minutes ahead, just in case. Also worth knowing is that, if you arrive earlier than your booked ferry, and there's room, they will let you travel on an earlier crossing at no extra cost. We returned recently over an hour earlier, and were waved straight onto the boat. You could, of course, take a deep breath and pay to go via the Chunnel, which takes about 40 minutes (plus queuing time). But apart from losing the view, and the adventure, you'll pay at least double for an equivalent crossing. *************************** NB: address and map are for the HQ office.
