DFDS Ferry Terminal — North Shields Taxi Transfers
The DFDS overnight ferry to Amsterdam and IJmuiden departs from and arrives at the Port of Tyne International Passenger Terminal in North Shields. We provide fixed-fare taxi transfers to and from the DFDS terminal for all sailings — early morning arrivals, late evening departures and everything in between.
⚠️ Travelling on DFDS? Make sure you select the correct terminal
The Port of Tyne covers a large area on both sides of the River Tyne, so please make sure your booking is for the DFDS International Passenger Terminal in North Shields, not the Port of Tyne facilities on the south side of the river.
The DFDS passenger terminal is on the north side of the Tyne at Coble Dene, North Shields, NE29 6EE.
We've had passengers accidentally select a south-side Port of Tyne location when booking their taxi, when they actually needed the DFDS passenger terminal in North Shields. Selecting the correct terminal when booking helps avoid an unnecessary detour on the day of your sailing.
For DFDS ferry passengers, use NE29 6EE for the passenger terminal.
✔ Taxi to DFDS ferry terminal North Shields — all departure times
✔ Taxi from DFDS ferry terminal North Shields — all arrival times
✔ Solo travellers, couples, families and groups
✔ Saloons, estates and minibuses to suit every group size and luggage
Pre-book online for an instant fixed fare — your driver's details confirmed 24 hours before sailing.
