Dover crossing to France, which is cheapest for campervan?

MM30_2

Hi there, we hope to go over from Dover in November, coming back in the spring. Is it better to pre-book, if so who with. I have been told to get a day return as it is often cheaper than a single or a return.

This is my first time crossing the chanel so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

If you book a day return and don't return on the same day then the ferry operator will charge you full economic fare............it's in all of their terms and conditions.

How high/long/wide is your camper? Its important

As chuckles1066 pointed out, the ferry operators got wise to the day return thing a long time ago.

If you've got enough in Tesco clubcard vouchers, the Eurotunnel is usually my favourite way of crossing as it's quick and not dependent on the weather. Other than that, I'd look at Seafrance, P&O and Norfolk Line - especially the latter has good deals on from time to time, especially if you don't mind going to Dunkirk.

With the car and ferry my preferred company would be Speedferries but I don't think you'll get a camper van on there.

As you're staying quite a while, it may be worth checking if two single tickets work out cheaper (they probably don't, though).
