    If we go to France for the day we use this website

    https://www.driveline.co.uk/postcard

    It costs £19 for trips Mon-Thurs. I don't know how much it costs for a campervan though.

    The password changes from time to time but at the moment it's 'postcard'.

    Hope that this is useful.

    You can use your Tesco clubcard vouchers with Eurotunnel. I don't know the price for a campervan, but they do a day trip for £39 (for car plus 5 passengers)which only costs you £9.75 of Tesco vouchers as they are worth 4 times their face value. They also offer a 5 day price.

    This is the cheapest way I have found to get a day trip to France. You just need to apply a couple of weeks in advance - you send off the vouchers to Tesco who will return a 'deals' voucher for Eurotunnel. When you make the booking you send in the deals voucher in payment. If you don't have enough points you can pay the difference in cash.

    I think this may have been mentioned before, but what the heck.
    We are travelling through France in June and will be using the tunnel, but not returning.
    Enquiries show that a single ticket is approx £129 whereas a day return is only £39. Obvious choice is to book day return but only go one way. However I seem to remember some previous messages that said that Eurotunnel, being wise to this line of action, keep a record of registration numbers of vehicles that don't use the return part of a day return! Has anyone any experience or knowledge of what action Eurotunnel may take?
