Travelling Calais to Benodet in August, this will be 1st time camping in france. I have a Vauxhall Zafira with roof box that measures approx 2.3 metre in height. Class 1 toll charges state upto 2 metre in height.

I read something ( cant remember where ) that bikes or roof boxes are not counted in the measurement and it is the height of the car that counts. But on one motoring forum there were a couple of people who had been charge Class 2 prices for a similar car and roof box.

Can anyone please confirm which is correct.

We've just come back and were using a Ford Fusion with 2 adult bikes on top.  We paid class 1 all of the way.

A couple of time the auto ticket dispensers gave the ticket from a slot about 5 foot up (for hgv's).  I just pressed the red button at the lower, car height slot and got the ticket from there instead.
