hughman Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 We usually do at least 2 returns a year (Easter and summer holidays), sometimes more, so I'd be interested in sharing. We've already booked for Easter unfortunately, but we'll need at-least one more return this year. Anyone want to play?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartO Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've given up on using the Chunnel for the last two years because their price for towing a trailer behind a MH shot up, so ferries are 30% or more cheaper. Otherise I would prefer the Chunnel as a means of crossing. I don't suppose this frequent traveller thingy makes trailers a lot cheaper - does anyone know?

Billggski Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 A trailer costs the same as a caravan, an extra £43. A motorhome costs £54 per crossing unless it's peak times. So £97 for MH plus trailer. I don't know how that compares to the ferry. I've shared with my son in law. The year starts when you buy into the scheme, not from your first trip, so leave it as late as possible. You can book the day before travel from any country, so it keeps your return trip flexible. Just make sure when you phone them that they take down your details correctly, and take the same card you paid with to book in at the terminal.

My Tunnel quote (ordinary traveller, on their website) was £170 odd for a single crossing for a MH plus trailer. I may have got something wrong somewhere so I'll check again. I have however already booked for a crossing next week at a cost of £106 for a midday ferry with P&O. Just checked: MH plus trailer for midday on 27th May is £222! Even at midnight it's £195.

We'd only need one single trip this year though (October-Calais to Folkestone) and at least four singles next year so is that still viable?
