How to Save on Eurotunnel
1. Book 6+ weeks ahead
The cheapest £31 fares sell out fast. Book as soon as dates are released.
2. Travel midweek
Tuesday-Thursday crossings are 30-50% cheaper than Friday-Sunday.
3. Avoid school holidays
Prices double or triple during half-term and summer. Travel the week before/after if possible.
4. Skip FlexiPlus
FlexiPlus costs 2-3x more for lounge access and flexibility. Standard is fine for most travellers.
5. Book a return
A return is almost always cheaper than two singles. Even if dates change, you can amend for a fee.
6. FrequentTraveller pass
If you cross 5+ times a year, the 10-journey pass at ~£40/crossing saves significantly.
