Eurotunnel Fare Types Explained
The (External) Eurotunnel is the fastest but most expensive way to et to France by car, so if you are newcomer to the service it's worth knowing the fares and how they work - it can save you good money.
The Standard Fare.
The standard fare allows you to travel through the tunnel any time you want without any restrictions. If you need flexibility because of other commitments this fare is most advisable. If you book well ahead, and we mean months ahead, you can save up to 40%. (External) Eurotunnel often give incentives to early bookers so the earlier you book, the cheaper the fare. Try booking before Xmas for he following summer.
The Flexi Plus Fare
The Flexi Plus is the main promo fare that can give you big savings for booking way ahead and offers some additional extras, like the lounge facilities and priority boarding. If you miss your crossing you can take the next available departure at no extra cost. You can combine your standard fare crossing with a Flexi Plus return but only if it’s for more than 5 days duration. With this fare you have a specially designated parking booth which offers you the chance to walk around before the departure if you want to. Then again, if you are taking the (External) Eurotunnel it probably means you want to crack on anyway.
For a business traveller, the flexi plus fare allows access to fax and Wi-Fi facilities if you need them.
Beware!
1. Motorbikes are not allowed access to the lounge, but are still able to buy the fare if they want.
2. This fare must be booked in advance and cannot be booked on arrival at the terminal.
3. Make sure you travel in the same car that's booked, if you have to change, do it well before the day of travel, or you will get stung!
4. Even though you have some flexibility, don't push your luck, at busy times you can be left waiting for ages before they let you on if you happen to miss your booked departure time. Ideally arrive about an hour before departure and no later than 30 mins before departure.
5. Don’t forget your passport and driving licence! You will need them.
The Short Stay Saver
The short stay saver fare allows you to get short breaks on Eurotunnel for half the standard fare, but be careful, it can be very costly to miss your allocated time of departure or return so read the above very carefully. This fare is available for travel during five calendar days, that means 4 nights away, so don’t get caught out!
The Two Day / Overnight Fare
The overnight fare allows you to spend one night away as long as you return before midnight the second day. Again, the above warnings apply.
