Book cheap train tickets from Dover to Canterbury

Let's save unnecessary costs when traveling from Dover to Canterbury by taking trains. The best way to find cheap train tickets is through Trip.com. We offer various discounted tips that can guide you towards a more affordable journey, such as using Railcards, Season Tickets, or Split Tickets. Explore the options below for more choices.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting your tickets involves purchasing separate tickets for different segments of your journey instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. This method is legal and can often result in cheaper fares. For example, if you are travelling from A to B, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than purchasing a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Booking in advance is one of the most effective ways to get cheap train tickets. Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to purchasing tickets closer to the departure date. By planning your trip from Dover to Canterbury ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.

Travel in a group to save 1/3

If you are traveling in a group of three to nine people, you can take advantage of group travel discounts. Many train companies offer GroupSave options that provide a discount of up to 1/3 on off-peak fares. This can make traveling from Dover to Canterbury more affordable for families, friends, or colleagues planning a trip together.
