Home » Tunnels - Eurotunnel |
The Eurotunnel is a revolutionary mode of transport, running though the Channel Tunnel from Folkstone to Calais. Our trains operate under the highest safety and security measures we aim to provide one of fastest and effortless ways of reaching Europe from the U.K. It takes just 35 minutes for Eurotunnel to shuttle you from Folkestone to Calais, making it the fastest channel crossing. Which means you spend less time getting there and more time enjoying your final destination. With a frequencey of up to 53 Channel Crossing daily the Eurotunnel is the shortest, and one of the most convenient routes to France. All we need to know when you make your booking, is whether your vehicle is higher than 1.85 metres, so that we allocate a space on a single deck carriage for you. A third of every Eurotunnel shuttles are dedicated to single decks that are twice as high inside as the double deck carriages. These are used for coaches, motorhomes, caravans and cars that are too high to go onto the double decks. There is no difference in price – so feel free to bring cycles, roof boxes – or anything that you can legally and safely put onto your roof! Eurotunnel strongly recommends that you have adequate insurance cover for your journey. Motoring information Driving licence – you will need your full licence documentation (not just the plastic card). Insurance documents – make sure that you are covered for any breakdowns or accidents. Book your travel or motor breakdown cover insurance here. Equipment – Warning triangle, GB sticker, spare bulb kit, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. If you have forgotten any of the equipment, don't worry, there is an AA shop in the Folkestone Passenger Terminal Building for any last minute items. Make sure you have adjusted your headlights to drive on the right – kits are available in the terminal. As in the UK, seat belts, if fitted, must be worn by both front and rear seat occupants. Children under 10 cannot travel in the front with the exception of babies (up to 9 months and less than 9kg) in rear facing seats. There are charges for using some of the motorways on the Continent. You will know when they charge as you will arrive at the check-in booths. Make sure you have either euros or your credit card handy when you exit these toll motorways as payment is made upon exit. If you would prefer to use toll free roads, you will often find easy and quick alternatives that can give you the advantages and flexibility of stop offs and can offer you a more scenic route. Drink Driving – there is only one safe rule – if you drive, don't drink. The laws are strict and the penalties severe.
