Finding the Best Deal
Prices for a Calais to Folkestone crossing typically start from €15 for a car and driver, but this is highly seasonal.
Average Cost: Most travellers see prices around €119 for a return.
Foot Passengers: LeShuttle does not accept foot passengers. You must be in a vehicle (car, van, motorhome) or on a motorcycle to board this service.
Saving Tip: Unlike the ferries, Eurotunnel prices are tiered by stay duration. A 'Short Stay Saver' (five days or less) is significantly cheaper than a long-stay ticket, and booking more than 48 hours in advance is essential to avoid 'turn-up-and-go' price hikes.
