Does the tunnel charge extra for bikes on top of the car? When I had a quick look at the booking form it seemed not to make a difference to the price whether I selected car with roofbox/bikes or not... but I could have been being daft!
The Chunnel is for cyclists too:Each Eurotunnel Shuttle can carry six cyclists. The bicycles are carried on a specially adapted trailer and the cyclists travel in a minibus. To book a bicycle crossing, telephone the sales support department, weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 5:30p.m. on +44 (0)1303 282201.Cycles on a roof rackSome carriages on the Shuttle are double deckers and some are single. If you are carrying bicycles on the roof of a car that make the car more than 1.85 meters tall (about 5.15 feet)*, tell the agent when you book your travel so that you can be assigned to an appropriate carriage.
High vehicles, utility vehicles or campervansWe allocate space in the single deck carriage for cars higher than 1.85 metres and coaches and caravans. The carriages are twice as high as the double deck carriages so there is ample room.There is no extra charge so feel free to bring bicycles, roof boxes etc. Just inform us when booking. Please note, the max weight laden for a van on our Passenger service is 3.5 tonnes. Book now- it couldn’t be easier.
Because some people find it more fun than sitting in a car in a gloomy railway carriage!I love ferries. They're cool. Especially long overnight crossings where you get a cosy cabin
Nah - something more classy than that. Tilbury to Gravesend.We'll have to be quick though!
Caen to Chamonix route seems to go through paris - takes longer? IME from a cycling trip to Brittany, I found it almost impossible to sleep on the ferry, P'mth-StMalo.
