Self-drive

Let us arrange your Eurotunnel crossing and your ski accommodation for a great price on your self-drive ski holiday.

Take as long as you like to get to and from the resort. All we ask is that you arrive at and leave your accommodation on the same date as our flight arrivals.

Eurotunnel offers departures up to 3 times per hour 24 hours a day. The Folkestone Terminal has a full range of facilities to pick up anything that you need for your journey. The crossing time from Folkestone to Calais takes just 35 minutes.

There is a ticketless travel system with Eurotunnel. We will send you with your final documentation the 8 digit booking reference number. Please quote this at the automated check-in lanes (by typing in the number).

For all other channel crossings, please contact reservations on 0871 231 5655 *.

* Calls to 0870 and 0871 numbers cost 10p per minute plus network extras

Included in your Eurotunnel crossing is a FREE flexi-plus upgrade which offers

• Flexibility to take another departure if you happen to arrive early or late at the terminal
• Priority boarding with exclusive check-in booths
• Flexi-plus lounge (open 6am-10pm) offering complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and a light meal
• Dedicated parking spaces at the terminal if you are stopping off

Please note that due to height restrictions, vehicles over 1.85 metres in total height cannot use the FlexiPlus lounge, due to safety reasons caused by the location of the high space lanes.

When you book one of our self drive holidays we want to offer you complete peace of mind when taking your car abroad, so we have got together with 'AXA', a leading insurer of overseas travel, and arranged a special scheme for our motoring customers.

The scheme (for cars less than 10 years old only) offers excellent value for money, and a brief synopsis of the insurance is set out below:

• Roadside assistance including towage to the nearest garage
• Location and despatch of parts
• Emergency car-hire
• Recovery of your vehicle to the UK
• Additional hotel and travel expenses
• 24 hour English-speaking emergency cover
• Legal expenses
• Up to 23 days cover

Insurance premium is only £42 (including insurance premium tax) for up to 23 days cover and can only be taken if AXA ski insurance is taken by all passengers in the car. The above is only a brief summary of the insurance cover. A fully detailed synopsis of the cover is available on request.
