How to get easily to England with his car
In September, I decided, for the first time, leaving two weeks in England with my little car and my friends of course. Like everyone else, I then asked the fateful question: Ferry or Eurotunnel?
Eurotunnel better than the Ferry? Not so sure ...
Ferry England France
The crossing of the Channel by ferry
In doing my little research on the net I find that there is so 2 ways to get to the UK with his car from Calais Ferry and Eurotunnel.
Calais-Dover route the underground or sea
Whether for a trip England France or vice versa, the only advantage is that the train is faster than the ferry, with its 1:30 to get there. But in terms of budget the difference is much too large for the amount of time saved in the end.
The ferry three times cheaper than the train
Indeed, the ferry costs 3 times cheaper than train. When I compared the route Calais - Folkestone (16 km from Dover) being returned to 210 € to / while the Calais-Dover route cost € 73 to /. After consultation, we voted unanimously for the Channel crossing by boat. In addition, you can see the landscape and use the money saved for a treat last vacation.
What company Ferry choose?
By comparing the deals on Google, the ferry operator DFDS Seaways has proven to be the most advantageous and quickest way to my path (in this case 1:30). The other advantage is the wide time range for the shipment to the English coast. Moreover, departures are from different French cities like Le Havre to Portsmouth, from Dieppe to Newhaven and Dover to Dunkirk. In my case, it was not a decisive criterion because Calais was our meeting point.

What he was on the boat?
Shops for shopping with up to 20% savings compared to prices in Britain. We took the opportunity to buy a small bottle for the evening;-) There is also a restaurant where hungry or very hungry. For children, a playground is available to occupy them during the crossing. Having over the allowed age, we have unfortunately not benefited;-)
to conclude
The ferry crossing to England has lasted 1 hour 30 minutes and we arrived at our destination as agreed. It was a first experience did not disappoint me and saved me a rather substantial sum for my vacation.
And you? When you go to England by car, would you rather ferry or rather train
