Ferries to Le Mans 04

[HarryW]

Been browsing the various ferry company sites to get some prices together for the car. Preferrence is for a Portsmouth crossing, being local to the ferry port . I can't seem to find any combination of crossing below £195 at the moment, I'm sure I paid about half of that for this year.
Whats going on , anyone booked yet and what prices you looking at .
Any alternatives looked at now, as I'm not paying the £195-350 range quoted so far

Good speach - I was about to write the same thing - it does seem expensive - and a V8S is only a likkle car really

I think they tend to put out special offers early in the New Year if you can hang on 'til then

As always, for good offers on the major crossings, I suggest www.ferryoffers.co.uk

I also regularly use www.hoverspeed.com - if you book six crossings a year with them, you can sign up and claim 20% discount for future bookings.

Cheers

Hoverspeed have recently announced their cheap deals for June. 5 day return in June (Newhaven-Dieppe) for around £130.

£336 for the six days we're doing though

Christ knows how they they can justify such a difference just because its not a five day return..

Do two singles work out cheaper than this Tripps?

[vetteheadracer]

Eurotunnel is only £113 at the moment!!

Just booked. £115 for 7th June to 16th June on a Dover-Calais-Dover crossing. I went through www.fastchannelferries.co.uk . £336 sounds very dear - better to spend your money on petrol based entertainment I think Rob!

[Mrs_T]

Hooray!!!. Thanks Steve.

£336 was for the Newhaven-Dieppe overnight crossing, which seemed like a good idea until I saw the price!

I've been quoted £120 from fastchannelferries, slightly more as travelling in peaks times but still cheaper than Le Shuttle and everything else I've seen.

Thanks for spotting that Steve, I owe you a

Goes up to £155 for six days though

Mine was off peak, perhaps it's worth going then and booking a hotel? The website even colours the drop down you pick times from, so you can see when you're what rated period you're booking. I thought that was a useful touch.

It was certainly one of the better sites, showing you were the cheapo crossings are rather than forcing the user to guess. Considering we're only paying £5 for the mid-range times (go at 08:00 return at 15:30) can't complain really
