Ferry rides across the Channel Tunnel can be cheaper compared to riding the bullet trains. Although, some ferry boats are more luxurious than others, the ferries offer a more stunning view of the channel and the chunnel prices for ferry travel are relatively cheaper than trains. Riding the Eurotunnel is one example of getting discounted chunnel prices, and actually enjoying the trip via the Channel Tunnel.
Channel Tunnel prices cost around £40 to £100 Pounds per crossing depending on the ferry boat line you are boarding and the time at which the ferry is travelling. Ferry boats travelling from London to Paris usually offer £49 to £90 pound rates to early ticket purchases which are 180 days earlier than the scheduled trip. This applies to both single trips and round trips. However, round trips usually cost a bit more, but is relatively cheaper at £100 to £150 Pounds. You can enjoy saving up to 20% on ticket rates if you book online since there are more Channel Tunnel ferries offering huge discounts thru the internet.
chunnel prices vary from ferry company to ferry company, and usually they offer almost the same price range. For instance, a Eurotunnel ferry travelling from Folkestone to Calais offers £88 for a round trip ticket, P&O Ferries offers relatively the same prices at €42 Euros round trip with car from Dover to Calais, €69 Euros per person from Rotterdam, and €148 Euros per person (night crossing) from Zeebrugge to Hull with a car. These rates may change based on the time that you have booked your trip. The best way to get the cheapest chunnel prices online is to book earlier and show up for your trip and avail other discounts.
