Hi.

Looking for some info. Thinking of taking the bus to.france later this year. Can I book it on as a car? Which route is best? Etc any help or advice appreciated.
Thanks Phil

Have always booked ours on as a car (under 2.2m x 6m) never had any problems.

Depends where you are going, we use Dover to Calais usually but we’re heading into Belgium at the end of our trip so coming back from Dunkirk.

Cost us £136 this year, leaving on a Friday lunchtime and retuning two weeks later on a Sunday lunchtime.

Definitely not a motor home.

There was 4 of us in our bus and 2 in that one in front

I’ve got European Cover with my RH Insurance.

Only had to use it once but they were brilliant.

I see no shame in it, if we end up on one of them it’s pretty serious, we were 800 miles from home at the time too!

I’ve always booked as a car based van but lately they’re being difficult pretty much every crossing now as lots of newbies are being trained and supervised.
If you take a jerrycan i’d Say hide it, they made me go out the port for it and the next time I just put it inside and no issues.
Also, they are starting to get really annoyed if your bus is lowered..
I had a 1 off last time as was with whole family..

Shame the train is so expensive as the service is a million miles better on everything..

Which port do you use? I was thinking of Newhaven

We've crossed over from Dover to Dunkirk a few times, also newhaven to dieppe, we've alway booked on as a car and never had any problems, have a great time

Oh also we had breakdown cover with RAC, our regulator packed up in Le Mans, RAC we're amazing, sorted us a hotel, tried to help find parts but couldnt in the time frame we had so helped us get a new battery, we charged to old one and they booked us on a ferry that was closer so we had less distance to drive.
