Eurotunnel vs Ferry

[Mart-1]

Hi

First post on this forum since taking delivery of the 355 Berlinetta 2 months ago

I'm taking it over to France in July and whilst i've always taken my 911 across by ferry, i'm thinking that I will take it across by Eurotunnel (no booze cruise / white-van-man drivers banging doors onto it)

I recall reading advice and comments about taking cars on Eurotunnel on here, but the pistonheads 'search' function is out of action at the moment,

Any tips appreciated - I seem to recall there was a comment on the width of track in the carriages, and choosing one to avoid scuffing wheels?

Thanks in advance

I personally prefer Eurotunnel vs ferry.

If you are worrying about the width of the car just book it to be allocated on single decking (over 1.85m option) so to travel together with buses etc

Eurotunnel everytime. They are so helpful. Even if you dont book for high load they put you in there with a decent car. I have done 4 trips in 360 and had no problems at all. Plus you get lots of nice folk asking about the car, where you are going etc. Just off round Europe in the Gallardo in 2 weeks again via tunnel.

Ferry for us with the Diablo!

Priority boarding and disembarkation and there is comfy seating in the lounge.

Also if something awful happens I can swim but my tunnelling skills are limited

How does a gallardo manage on a ferry? Seems to scrape going over anything higher than a cats eye!

It goes on Eurotunnel!! No lifting gear on mine and absolutely fine. They always put you on lower deck.
