Transfer Paris Folkestone

Folkestone is a charming coastal town in Kent at the English end of the Channel Tunnel, known for its Creative Quarter, harbour arm, and clifftop walks along the White Cliffs.

Eurostar vs Private Transfer: Paris to Folkestone

Eurostar from Paris Nord to Ashford International (near Folkestone) takes about 1h50. However, you must get to/from stations at each end. A private transfer goes door-to-door.

Private Transfer: Paris to Folkestone

• Duration: ~3h30 door-to-door via A1 north to Lille, A26 to Calais, then Eurotunnel Le Shuttle to Folkestone
• Cost: Fixed rate for the vehicle, not per person — up to 7 passengers in a V-Class
• Channel crossing: Via Eurotunnel Le Shuttle (Calais to Folkestone, ~35 min) — you stay in the vehicle
• Luggage: No limits — your chauffeur handles everything
• Flexibility: Depart at any time, any day — no fixed schedules
• Pets: Dogs and cats travel with you — the only way to cross the Channel with your pet
• Drop-off: Directly at your address in Folkestone — no onward connections needed

Border crossing: The UK is outside the Schengen Area. Passport control takes place at the Eurotunnel terminal in Calais before boarding Le Shuttle. Your chauffeur handles the process.

Take the train if: You’re travelling solo with light luggage and your destinations are near both stations.

Choose a private transfer if: You’re travelling with 3+ people, have heavy or bulky luggage, need door-to-door service, are travelling with children or equipment, or want to depart at a specific time.

Pet Taxi: Bring Your Dog or Cat from Paris to Folkestone

MyDriverParis is one of the few services offering pet transport between France and the UK. Your dog or cat travels with you in the vehicle — no cargo hold, no separate carrier. We cross via Eurotunnel Le Shuttle, the only Channel crossing that allows pets to stay with their owners in the vehicle.

What your pet needs to enter the UK:

• Microchip (ISO 11784/11785 compliant)
• Valid rabies vaccination (administered at least 21 days before travel)
• Animal Health Certificate (AHC) issued by an authorised vet within 10 days of travel
• For dogs: tapeworm treatment administered by a vet 1–5 days before entry into the UK

What’s included: Your chauffeur handles the Le Shuttle check-in process. Pets ride in the cabin with you — never separated. Water bowls and comfort stops are provided en route. Le Shuttle ticket is included in the transfer price.

Whether you’re relocating with your pet, taking them on holiday, or bringing home a new puppy from a French breeder, our pet taxi service makes the journey stress-free for both you and your companion.
