Reaching the Autozug from the UK
There are a number of options available, but it's actually down to you to decide which route works out best.
The Dover / Calais Route
Despite causing you to drive much further, its a safe bet, especially if the weather's bad and the longer routes are delayed / closed. If the cross - channel is cancelled, at least if all else fails you always have the option of the tunnel. Compare prices of each with our search tool.

Harwich to the Hook of Holland

Newcastle to Amsterdam
If you live in the north of England or Scotland, this is a great option as it saves a huge amount of driving and potential delays. Make sure you get your dates right though.
