Advice re car parking at Tilbury

[kmw350]

Hi, can anyone please clarify this (I've read the general information on the Ambassador site, but there seems to be a missing or half-sentence so it's ambiguous).

What exactly is the parking procedure? 

Do I drop luggage and other passengers at the Dock and then take my car and park it ? ; or do I park the car first and take a shuttle to the terminal?

How much time do I need to allow for getting to the terminal after parking the car?

 

My embarkation time is not till 3pm with final embarkation at 4pm, so I don't want to be late checking in.

 

I know, I can check this with guest services, but I thought I'd get others' first hand experience,

 

Thanks

You drive straight to the car park (past the turning to the ship)  take your luggage to the little lorry and then board the shuttle bus. I would say allow 10-15 minutes. They don't let you finish check in before your time so aim to arrive close to it. hth

That's a great help, thank you 🙂
