More About Eurotunnel
Using the Tunnel
Eurotunnel manages the infrastructure of the Channel Tunnel and passenger shuttle (car and coach) services between Folkestone and Calais/Coquelles. Euro-tunnel offers the fastest route to France, crossing the channel in just 35 minutes. Using Euro-tunnel is very straightforward: just drive on and stay with your vehicle in brightly-lit, air-conditioned carriages.
You can walk around inside the shuttle and toilets are available. Customs are cleared before boarding so you drive straight off and away when you arrive in France.
Eurotunnel services operate around the clock, 365 days a year between Folkestone and Calais, providing motorists with an essential link in the European transport network.
Direct motorway connections on both sides of the Channel add to the convenience of travelling with Eurotunnel. There are various ticket types available: Day/Overnight; Short Break Savers (for up to 5 days); Standard Long Stay; Standard FlexiPlus. You can also mix and match a one way Standard FlexiPlus ticket with a normal Standard Ticket.
