bounty hunter Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Use Park & Ride New Dover Rd, Canterbury CT1 3EL at £3 per 24 hours. https://www.canterbury.gov.uk/parking-travel-roads/parking/park-and-ride/motorhomes-and-park-ride/ John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordThornber Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Is that from Eurotunnel itself about the no parking? We've never had a problem there. The park and ride is excellent at Canterbury but does close at 8pm :( Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartO Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Don't know about other Tesco stores in the Dover/Folkstone area but the one close to Dover just off the A2 has a three hour limit (and a £75 charge beyond that) managed by ANPR cameras. An option I spotted (but haven't actually tried) is to use the car park for checking in animals at the Folkstone terminal, which is on the right just before the check in booths. Pull in there late evening once its quiet and you would probably be perfectly OK. I didn't see any signs limiting parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However my guess is no based on the fact that Tesco's in Dover has a time limit for parking, and is patrolled by europarking bods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markh1 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Just check in at Eurotunnel, they'll offer you an earlier crossing, so you can go when you get there, if you don't want the earlier crossing then don't accept it check in and stay in their car park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/traveller-info/latest/ A20 access to Folkestone terminal closed until the 30th August 2015 We are making improvements to our check-in plaza, so please note the following changes as you arrive at our Folkestone terminal: ?Access from the A20 will be closed during this period. Please continue along the A20 and join the M20, southbound, at junction 11, then access our Folkestone terminal via M20 junction 11a. ?As you arrive at the Folkestone terminal from junction 11a, there is a short diversion through our new Freight check-in plaza.

Billggski Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Why not just go straight over and park at cite Europe? Should be no extra charge, no illegals as they want to come the other way, and get your croissants and coffee in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisden Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 You may not be let in as its just prior to a bank holiday. Live near the tunnel and its been horrendous this year. School runs that should be 10 mins. taking 2 hours.. But its much clearer now, but 3 hour delays are not unknown for ? on the track in France. The Eurotunnel often talks about 2 hour wait and a 3 hour delay which infers there are far more people waiting inside. My son is traveling over the weekend and it is sold out going to and from France for Frequent Travellers tickets at peak times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtisden Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Billggski - 2015-08-25 11:09 PM Why not just go straight over and park at cite Europe? Should be no extra charge, no illegals as they want to come the other way, and get your croissants and coffee in the morning? That depends on what type of ticket you hold. Frequent Traveller yes no problem and 8 am is a peak time anyway as its only after 3.30 pm to 6am that its cheaper. But a one off ticket is priced on demand and varies as the time approaches depending on capacity. If when you approach the toll it tells you that a earlier time is available free grab it but more often it entails a charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
