Derek your best bet is to go to p&o or seafrance website then put in what dates and times you want, then you will get a quote...

It certainly isn't easy to find the best deals from the ferry companies booking on line.

As Barry says, you would normally put in an outward and inward time, and get a quote.

Then you give a hollow laugh, get on here and find where the deals are!

The trouble is, you have to have a guide as to what time/days crossings are cheap for most companies. ie mid-week, out early morning or late in the day. Each co. has its own ideas. Speedferries seem flexible about return tickets. Some companies charge more for a fully flexible or amendable return, rather than a fixed return time.Others charge an amendment fee if you turn up for a return other than the one booked,

I would suggest e-mailing customer services  to ask, don't think you will find the answer otherwise

Are you a menber of one of the Clubs, if so give them a ring and I am sure they will be able to advise you.

Whatever you do DONT just turn up without a ticket or booking - at the very least, book for when you expect to travel then amend before you arrive

If you do turn up without anything you're instantly a captive market and will be charged accordingly

The ferry cost for those without a caravan has certainly come down, and there are lots of offers at present.  However, with a caravan the cost is much higher - as I said in another posting, we've just booked for August for £118, car, caravan and four people - and I thought that damn good value.  We have friends who've just booked with Speed Ferries - as you say for £35.00 return, and they went with Speed Ferries last year.  The crossings are fine, so don't think you'll have to row!!!!  As I said before, let's hope Speed Ferries start taking caravans, and then we'll all be laughing.

Hi Delboy, if you are noy taking caravan then I think speedferries dover-Boulogne is best value at £15 single, just ring up the day before you want to come back or get a friend to book it online for you, you can't go wrong at that price. We are doing that next month.

Speed ferries in August with an Espace 7 seater was £38 return.
