Chunnel deals

Eurotunnel deals with your car

If you are looking for the best Chunnel deals when taking your car to France, the are 2 main rules to finding the cheapest fares:

• Avoid travelling at peak times. The Chunnel fares are cheaper on the trains at quieter times, such as early morning, or late at night. This can be the best time to travel anyway, as the roads in England and France will be quieter and help make your journey quicker. If you must travel at peak times, try to make it for one journey only, for example if your outward journey has to be around lunch time, then perhaps aim to book an off-peak train for your return journey.

• Book as far in advance as possible. Of course you can book close to the time of your journey and still get a ticket. But this usually means that you will be charged a much higher price. Click here to book in advance...

Eurotunnel FlexiPlus Fares
A FlexiPlus Fare allows you to arrive at the departure terminal early (or late!) and still travel on the next available departing train. You can amend your FlexiPlus ticket at no extra cost. A FlexiPlus ticket also means you can use the Check-in lounge facilities and priority boarding. It is possible to combine fares and buy a Standard fare ticket for one journey and a FlexiPlus Fare for the other journey. This is usually appreciated by weary travellers for the return journey after a long time travelling along the French motorways. Should you arrive early, you can still hop on the next available train.
