Dont know what you are looking at Ina - I have just looked on their website and if you go before 8.00am this weekend it is £86 or before 6.00am £75 - also between 18.00 and 20.00 hours it is £71 - so it is still possible albeit early or late to get a fairly reasonable price even booking at the last min.

The peak times are £147 - This is for Saturday - Haven't looked at Sunday but would assume it is cheaper

I was looking at our booking for this Saturday afternoon, which is between 14.00 and 16.00. I know there are cheaper crossings on that day, but what I was looking at was that particular slot, as that is what we are booked on.

I'm also looking at campervan prices, which are different to car+caravan or solo car.

wow some expensive prices here. I booked our crossing back in January and paid £122 return for a car and five. I book in advance always.

just been to check the price for the exact same crossing and it's currently £156, this is for  July crossing so no doubt nearer the time will increase more.

Ps I used my tesco rewards too and only paid £2 cash

We've been twice with M/H & 2 people for £80ish each time but booked a couple of weeks in advance.

We were warned about 'just turning up' prices. We only booked our outward journey and rang up Caravan Club from France 2 days before we wanted to travel back.....same price as outward journey.

If you are lucky enough to have DFDS crossing booked with the NEC code you can amend this free of charge, providing this is done before the end of June.


We are about to book with DFDS, whats this all about ?

It is only for people who booked their ferry crossing last year at the Caravan Show at the NEC in Birmingham.

You will have to pay an amendment fee if you want to later change the booking you are about to book.

Yep kind folks posted the DFDS (NorfolkLine) code on here last October, it was NEC11 or similiar.

Car+Trailer or Caravan return Dover-Dunkerque crossing for £68 which must be as good as it gets for a 2012 crossing.

We are of to the South of France in July for 3 weeks, having used the code to book our crossing.
