Our redoubtable researchers have been sweating over a hot screen and, as a result, we are now proud to bring you a single, user-friendly guide that combines:

• Details of all ferry and tunnel crossings to France
• Details of the providers
• Guides to UK, Irish and French ports
• A simple fare search for the very best deals and cheapest crossings

France is blessed with several transport options for those visiting the country - and ferry travel with a car is the most popular. This is hardly surprising as the benefits include unlimited luggage, no airport formalities, value for money and frequent services that offer plenty of choice.

But it is that very choice that can make booking a ferry a daunting prospect. How do you compare services, times and prices? How do you know that you’re getting the best deal available on the day? Which operators cover which routes? Is your favoured service available all year round? What facilities are on offer at the port of departure and arrival?

These are the very questions that we answer, with no nonsense and a wealth of clear and concise information. Dover, Calais, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Caen, St Malo and Dieppe – all are there and less well known ports besides. All information is clearly searchable and once you have decided on the best crossing for you, just enter the details on the page and our quick search will come up with the fare options, giving you confidence that you’ve found the best deal.
