Cheapest Ferry Prices - help needed

Gunderful

Can anyone help?

5 people with a Renault Megane
travelling from Dover-Calais return
outbound 8th June before 1000
return 16th June after 2200

cheapest I could find was £100 - can anyone find any cheaper?

redux

The tariffs are slightly cheaper evening going out and morning returning, but this would probably make only £10 to £20 difference, and you might pay more for hotel bills depending how far you are going.

They seem to have introduced continuously varying fares this year; also note that any return outside 2 hours from the booked time will be surcharged.

If those are definitely your chosen times, I'd book it soon, as it will probably get more expensive.

£68 return with https://www.speedferries.com but it's Dover-Boulogne (not Calais) Only 10-15 minutes between the two and if you're going further around the coast it would be better for you

We're driving to Geisenkirchen in Germany so Calais is not the only possible ferrry destination. Any route that doesn't impact our journey too much (say +1 hour) would be fine eg. Dunkirk, Bologne...any others?

Best I have so far is £58 Dover-Dunkirk with cheapferries, surely we can go lower?!

cheekymole

cheekymole

Gunderful

yes my bad, basically it means not after 1000 and not before 1000.....so basically we want to travel at 1000! Sorry about that.
