You are right Marz, the price does go up in July and come down towards the end of August, but we have managed to pay half with Tesco vouchers, this year.
The prices with the offer in Novemeber worked out in some cases cheaper than last year. We know folk who are going in July for less than they paid last summer.You werent able to use Tesco with this offer. Unfortunately being limited to going in school holidays, dosent help with the cost.
You need to look at all the options, factor in all the costs involved and make your decision as to what route is the best for you.
Every year we price the different routes --
Direct from Ireland to France.
Landbridge via Scotland/Wales then one of the South coast crossings.
Landbridge via Scotland/Wales then short sea crossing from Dover or Tunnel.
Out of the three, the latter is the cheapest,but not by much, once fares, fuel, overnight stop, tolls,are added.If you can combine it with Tesco or caravan free crossing(Belfast to Stranraer with CCC)then it can be the cheapest crossing.
Using the South coast crossings make very little difference, once all the costs are added together.
It dosent matter whether you cross from Larne/Belfast into Scotland or from South into Wales there is little difference in the mileage.
Sometimes you have to go for sailings at "odd" times to get the best deal, but we prefer to go for the easy option, as it is our main holiday.
We use the crossing which is the most convenient to where we want to go, we are using the direct route this year, as we are going to the Vendee.
If we were going somewhere in Eastern France then we would use the lanbridge/tunnel option.
Its everyones choice as to what they do, after all thats what the freedom of caravanning/camping is all about.
