Travel with Eurotunnel

Please - remember to be nice to the imbecile in front driving painfully slowly or stopping on the ramp. However tempted you may be to shout at them, you will be behind him/her on the train!

Tips - some useful tips to help you get best value out of Eurotunnel

Booking one day in advance - we have successfully booked for the next day at 7.00pm the day before. Don't chance it though.

A word of warning though for travellers - Eurotunnel do not print the time of the crossing on your ticket. Always make a point of asking, otherwise you will rush through thinking you are on the next train, only to find yourself hanging around unable to shop etc. Whilst we are delighted Eurotunnel have finally brought in some realistic fares for day-trippers and become considerably more flexible in their fare structure, there are still improvements to be made before day-trippers enjoy a simple and flexible fares structure. The new fare structures introduced, in particular the "clock-wise" fares were a good sign.

Don't turn up early?

The £10 penalty charge (amendment fee) has been re-introduced.

Promotional fares

... are not always available peak holiday times.

Points Plus - ended in January 2005.

They also have a Club Service Scheme, which they describe as their Premium service. However it costs a lot and is only available with their standard fare, so is clearly aimed at film stars or those who simply couldn't bear to mix with the locals. For this you get; A dedicated priority lane at check in. A guarantee that you will always travel on the next available departure. Entry to a private Club lounge, where you can freshen up, use the telephone or fax, or pick up some shopping. A light meal, tea, coffee, chocolate and newspaper with their compliments. For business users however the facilities in PO Ferries Club lounge are more practical. Dedicated Club line 08705 388 388. More

LPG - things are changing

Eurotunel now permit vehicles that were manufactured as LPG or duel fuelled vehicles (as opposed to after market or DIY conversions). This is an advantage to LPG fuelled motor caravan owners who can now take advantage or Eurotunnel's lower rates for this type of vehicle. The Caravan club and other similar organisations are now hoping to push Eurotunnel into permitting properly certified aftermarket conversions to. Of course, if they agree, which is probable, this will apply to all vehicles, not just motor caravans/campers.
