    I am off to Brittany in August,and by booking my ferry with the travel operator I'm going with,my ferry crossing,which is Plymouth/Roscoff out,and Caen/Portsmouth back,the car and 4 passengers,works out at £330,which is a lot cheaper than anywhere else I've tried,including Ferrysavers,and direct to the ferry companies as well.

    £330.00 :eek:

    It’s a pity you cannot use speed https://www.speedferries.com as they are only £50.00 admittedly you would have to travel further, but it would save you £280.00 minus the expense of extra fuel needed.
    As tight as two coats of paint :D

    P&O are doing a special offer where it is only £92 return. (Normally about £185) You have to book and pay before April. I have booked a return crossing for August as we are renting a french cottage for a week.

    Seems like a pretty good deal. (there are a few restrictions with time, must sail out of Dover after 2.00pm and must sail out of Calais before 2pm)

    click on this link to check it out.

    You have to book a long time in advance to get the £50 return on speed ferries. They are currently charging £70 return for August but with only evening sailings left on certain days. Certainly well worth considering though in future.

    thanks

    I've planned a holiday in Brittany, we're staying at a cottage but your ferry cost of £220 is much lower than I could find. Where did you get this quote?
