Euro Tunnel

Tips, advice on using Euro Tunnel required,
would have done a search but the tinterweb pixies are working on it.

Thanks in advance.

What sort of information are you after?

There's no real magic tips needed, other than you can't take an LPG powered car on there.

Even if you buy a non-changable ticket they seem to let you on the next available crossing if you get there early.

Go to website, book crossing, turn up on day, visit France

Anything else?

The loading marshalls are good at spotting cars that can't handle the ramps and diverting them to the bottom level - I was plucked out of the top level queue in the Caterham and in the Mustang

and wrong. Go to Tesco, collect Tesco clubcard points, now 2 per pound from this week. Points get turned into £ vouchers redeemable instore, don't. Go to clubcard website and exchange vouchers for eurotunnel vouchers, at 4 times the value.

When you book you'll still need to enter credit card details. You MUST take this card with you when you travel. Arive at barrier, pop in card, machine prints out outbound and return tickets. Hang one on your mirror, keep the other safe for coming back (but they can re-issue one if you lose it), then head for the train or terminal.

If you're early and there's space on the next train they'll put you on, similarly, if you're late they'll put you on the next available FOC as long as you arrive within 24 hours of your booked departure. Though this can be a bit of a wait (4 hours coming back from Le Mans when everyone was late!).

Not when I travelled a couple of weeks back. Simply entered the Booking Reference into the Self Check In machine, and got the outbound ticket.

Did the same on the Calais side for the return ticket.
