  FAQs - Choosing travel options

Which ferry routes can I take?

You are free to choose the ferry route that best suits you. The shortest crossings are from Dover, Newhaven and Folkestone. For a more leisurely crossing, travel either by day or night from Portsmouth, Poole or Plymouth. There are crossings from the north east of England too - from Hull and Newcastle. Customers from Ireland can either sail direct to France from Rosslare or Cork or use Landbridge routes which involve crossing the Irish Sea, travelling through Britain before crossing the Channel to France.

Can I make my own travel arrangements?

Yes, if you prefer to book your own ferry or travel by air, all you have to do is tell your Reservations Advisor when you call to book. For UK customers, £40 will be deducted from your holiday price.

Can we take a second car?

If you are taking two cars we charge £100 for the second car plus any ferry route supplements. There may be some restrictions about parking two cars on a campsite pitch, ie. the second car may have to be parked in a car park especially in high season - please check with your Reservations Advisor.

Can I stay at more than one campsite?

Yes, the choice is yours - you can visit as many campsites as you like across. Alternatively, you might prefer to have a Twin Centre holiday eg. 1 week in Brittany, 1 week in the Loire Valley.

Can we take a roof rack/box on our car?

You must tell us at the time of booking if you are planning to take a roof-rack, roof box, bike, or windsurfer as these can take your vehicle over the standard height limit for Channel crossings. There is limited space for vehicles which exceed standard height limits and additional charges apply.

Can we take bikes on the back of the car

As with roof-racks, you must advise us of your plans at time of booking. Additional charges apply and you may be refused entry to the ferry if, for example, a rear bike carrier is not included on your booking.

Can we travel out with one ferry company and back with another?

No, you must use the same company for both outward and inward sailings - but routes can be mixed. However, you can mix the day crossings of P&O Stena with P&O North Sea. You can also mix Sea France (Dover - Calais) with Condor (Poole - St Malo).

Can you book flights for me?

There is an abundance of low-cost airlines offering excellent flight prices to Europe. As these airlines are usually direct sell operations, we cannot book flights for you. What we can do however is arrange your campsite accommodation and very keenly priced car hire at the majority of airports.
