Travelling by Eurotunnel

If you want the convenience of taking your own car and are looking for the shortest crossing, Eurotunnel is the fastest way to cross the Channel at just 35 minutes. There are up to three crossings per hour and checking in and boarding is easy.

We can arrange your Eurotunnel booking at low costs:

Subject to availability, the supplements are just £36 each way (£65 on high season weekends, plus Mon 29th August).

Call our Customer Service team on 01825 748318 to check availability and book.

Check-in time is 30 minutes before departure, using just your booking reference (and, of course, your passport!). If you're very early, you may be bumped forward to an earlier crossing. Exit checks mean that you will need to submit API (Advance Passenger Information) beforehand, but this is easy to do online or over the phone with Eurotunnel – look out for an email about this a couple of months before you depart.

There are a number of cafés and shops in both Eurotunnel terminals, plus free WiFi. The French terminal has a large duty-free shop, ideal for last minute purchases.

Exceptions:

Caravans/trailers are £105 each way.

Height supplement (for over 1.85m) £5 each way.

In high season, travelling out on a Friday/Saturday or in on a Saturday/Sunday is £65. This cost also applies to coming home on Bank Holiday Monday 30th August.

Mid-week crossings (or low season weekend), ie Tuesday-Friday, are £61 each way.
