Folkestone combines the working Eurotunnel terminal at Cheriton, running Channel Tunnel shuttles up to four times an hour around the clock, with the redeveloped Harbour Arm’s very different leisure crowd. A flat battery near the terminal, a breakdown on the A20, or a car at the Harbour Arm all need a driver who tells the two apart, which is exactly what car recovery in Folkestone CT20 gets from CityGrip.

Local coverage across Folkestone
We cover the whole of CT20: Folkestone town centre, Eurotunnel terminal border, Folkestone Harbour Arm border, The Leas, Cheriton border. Whether you are on a red route, in a loading bay, a residents’ bay or a multi-storey car park, we can reach you and get the vehicle moving, the battery started, or the car safely recovered.
Our drivers know the key Folkestone routes: the A20, Cheriton Road and the approaches to the Eurotunnel terminal. LeShuttle runs up to four Channel Tunnel departures an hour, 24 hours a day, from the Folkestone terminal at Cheriton, a 35-minute crossing to Calais, and terminal traffic follows its own around-the-clock pattern quite distinct from the town centre and the redeveloped Harbour Arm.
Folkestone combines the working Eurotunnel terminal at Cheriton, running Channel Tunnel shuttle trains every 15 minutes at peak times day and night, with the redeveloped Harbour Arm’s restaurants and public art drawing an entirely different, more leisurely visitor crowd. The Leas’ clifftop gardens add their own tourist footfall, the A20 carries the bulk of terminal-bound traffic, and cross-Channel freight can back up locally when crossings are disrupted. Car recovery in Folkestone CT20 tells the terminal’s round-the-clock pattern apart from the Harbour Arm’s leisure crowd.

What to do if you break down in Folkestone
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
