This is probably not the right subforum to post this question, but as I see a lot of channel crossing questions posted here, I thought I'll give it a go.

I am planning on travelling to the UK in the near future, and will be taking a rental car, so I don't know the make, type nor registration of the car I'll be taking yet.
Will this be a problem in booking my tickets for the chunnel?
If so, how to circumvent these problems?
Thx in advance,
Vince

Eurotunnel FAQ said:
Unless you have purchased Breakdown cover, the only vehicle details that we need are the vehicle type (car/van/motorcycle), the height (over or under 6ft/1.85 metres) and confirmation that it is not equipped with an LPG tank. If none of these things have changed we do not need to make any changes to your booking.

Registration numbers are not yet mandatory but do speed up the Check-in process. You can add or change a registration number at any time before travel without penalty. please call our Contact Centre.

check with your rental company that you're allowed to bring the car to the UK

That is not a problem, but thanks for pointing that out. It very well could have been.
