It used to be possible to get season tickets for Dover/Calais but I don't spot the bargains anymore for motorhomes. Am I missing something, or are there bargains to be had?

The frequent flyer thing for the Tunnel is a good deal if it suits you. Some folk share it.It used to be possible to get season tickets for Dover/Calais but I don't spot the bargains anymore for motorhomes. Am I missing something, or are there bargains to be had?

I have been looking at cheapest way to get to Europe in the van this Summer. We like the Stena Harwich - Hook of Holland service. Going out on 21st August and coming back on 20th September (both daytime sailings) comes to £235.
There is the opportunity to use Tesco vouchers plus with the saving on diesel and the free overnight parking at Harwich it might be worth it.

The only way to get the £55 crossing price is to be part of the Frequent Traveller scheme where you have to buy 10 crossings @ £44 each which is for a car then when you book your crossings you pay an extra £11 supplement for MH for each one making £55 each, if you don't want 10 (minimum number) crossings you can share the FT account with someone else which is what a lot of us do now.

That wasn't what the op said I think we all know about the benifits of bulk buying from ferry crossings to toilet rolls the op was suggesting he had purchased one crossing for that amountThe only way to get the £55 crossing price is to be part of the Frequent Traveller scheme where you have to buy 10 crossings @ £44 each which is for a car then when you book your crossings you pay an extra £11 supplement for MH for each one making £55 each, if you don't want 10 (minimum number) crossings you can share the FT account with someone else which is what a lot of us do now.
You can't see the FT prices until you are a member of the scheme.

No what he said was ...That wasn't what the op said I think we all know about the benifits of bulk buying from ferry crossings to toilet rolls the op was suggesting he had purchased one crossing for that amount

He didn't say he'd actually BOUGHT one ticket, but just that he'd BOOKED it for Thursday afternoon ... as the £55 figure matches what you would pay for a FT crossing I suspect that's what he's used ... perhaps the @Tigertom could elaborate.Eurotunnel booked for Thursday afternoon £55, well I think it’s a bargain!
If you look back at what Mitzi was showing it was a general 'page' on the website giving the price form £79 for a car ... you can of course read the info on the links you've given but you then have to work out when it applies - if you want to check the cost for a specific day and time they won't show up on a booking enquiry unless you are an FT member when, once you've logged in, all the crossings will show the FT prices so makes it much easier.??
yes you can

As posted previously by someone else, if you book Stena before Jan31st, you can get 50% of ALL sailings (I was looking at March & September, and it worked).
Our 6m van + 2 passengers came in at £40-50 basic or upto £90 each way if we included Premium, which gives priority embarkation and disembarkatioin, access to Stena Lounge, with "free" refreshments etc AND totally flexible rebooking/refunding possibilities.
