I know there was a thread on here for Eurotunnel but cant find it,
does anyone know how far in advance you have to book or can you just turn up and hope for the best.

I booked, as on the web you can pick the cheapest fares depending on the time frame you want to travel in.

I know you can book on internet but our schedule is really tight and we might not have time to do it, is it essential to book and can it be booked over the weekend or is it only mon-fri

Hi,
As far as i know it is far cheaper to book a same day return ticket for a day in advance sometimes £22 each way and then not use the return ticket.
This has to be for the following day to get low prices.
You can just turn up but the prices are more expensive.
Good luck Kev

hi, i presume you want one way it is £49.00. (5.48 am) for vehicle and passengers and pets, if you book a return they charge £30.00 xtra for your pet. i have booked mine for 3rd july husband is taking me, son & dog he is coming back for 6 weeks so i booked a single ticket out and a single ticket for his return, hope this helps. busters mum

There's stuff in the small print of all ferry companies that if you don't use the 'return' they'll charge you the full price for a single on your credit card.
