Eurotunnel too Expensive! (1 Viewer)

[EuroTrotters]

Morning!.

So I planned for us to get away next week, Eurotunnel, which for us is a real drag to get to, as long as 8 hours. Price was £500.

Playing around with the Caravan & Motorhome site, I managed to get a good deal on Hull. Hull being around 90 mins from us. Zebrugge is freight only.

So, booked to Rotterdam, 8m Motorhome (to include bike rack). Premier Outside double bed, with 4 overseas campsite vouchers £645.

Suits me as it’s 90 mins to Hull and 60 mins to our first campsite in The Netherlands.

Now just trying to work out what forms we need for leaving and entering UK ?

Any tips appreciated

Hull to Rotterdam sounds a good deal - is that a single fare or return? I'm thinking probably the latter.

£500 through the tunnel is very expensive.

Especially when it is emptyish.

You can buy a frequent traveller ticket for the tunnel for £480 that gives you 10 single crossings or 5 returns.

I had a good price from the CMC for Hull-Zebrugge early September 6m bike rack with cabin, one way £185.,obviously cancelled now.
Last year Liverpool-Dublin day crossing with cabin, two good meals included, £120.
Of course we ' Pobre Jubilados' can't afford the luxury cabins and have to slum it in the basic cabins Having said that in the many ferry crossings that we have done we have only come across substandard cabins on Mediterranean crossings and they weren't that bad.
We are on a Caen bound ferry Monday, no forms to fill in at the moment, inbound last week had to fill in tracking forms.

... even cheaper if you share the tickets with another funster

But don’t forget to add in the motorhome surcharge...

Emptyish???

We came out Sunday lunch time (2pm) and I’ve never seen eurotunnel so busy.

Still cheaper though? Never ever seen £500 quoted though?

Maybe. I was going out. So what you are saying could be correct.

 

[Lucky]

I came back 10 days ago and it was VERY quiet. Maybe a dozen vehicles in all on the crossing.

 

[dunnah01]

Did DFDS Dover Calais via CMC for £104 one way on Monday - it included a free breakfast for each of us aswell which I thought was a very good deal this time of year

We wouldn’t use it. Mostly travel to Spain and in the winter, fir ski trip. We use hull

But you have gone for the dearest options why not just try normal crossing it’s much cheaper?

I would choose flexiplus out as it’s the cheapest fare, for £39 I would do the sane coming back.

We returned on the tunnel last Monday. Only 4 vehicles in the high section and price £207 single including two dogs. We always use the tunnel because of the dogs. We also never buy a return because the return journey always seems less expensive than the outward journey.

But if you paid £480 then add £12 for motorhome. Then another £12 for the return you have the return journey for £504 & still 8 crossings you can dump or maybe do something with.

On the hull ferry ?

No the train.they are just scamming on returns with sky high prices. No traffic.

The outrageous prices that are being quoted above are what you get if you leave it late to book. As far as I remember that has always been the case although perhaps not quite that expensive.

I've just looked at a price to go out on 9th September late afternoon and return on 7th October early morning with a 5m to 5.4m camper. The total return price for this would be £197.

That is just about the same as we paid for roughly the same dates in 2019, could be a fiver cheaper.

Moral of story, book well in advance.

 

[WESTY66]

School holidays perhaps? I’m out on 29-08 back on 19-09 £268 return.
I’d love to do Hull but it’s too expensive!
