Eurotunnel train

It is also possible to travel to and from the UK with a vehicle using the Eurotunnel train service. You vehicle is loaded onto a train and taken from Folkestone in England to Calais in France in 35 minutes (or vice versa). This will coast typically twice that of a ferry, but look out for special offers which may it an attractive option.
