"Convenient, quick and easy way to travel to France"
Smooth method of travel to France. I like the way that if you turn up early, they offer you an earlier train than the one booked. Catering could be better: seemed to be only junk food outlets. The dog parks have been drastically reduced in size since Brexit: the one on the UK side is now tiny compared with the lovely play park they used to have, and on the French side I could only find a tiny enclosed square of grass, instead of the reasonably-sized dog park they had pre-Brexit. Duty Free is barely worth it. There seemed to be lots of expensive Australian wines and lots oif expensive English sweets and chocolates. The French goods were ok but were the most expensive brands possible (Maxim's) so I could have got the same goods much cheaper in France in more normal brands. .

"Worst Tunnel Crossing ever experienced"
I have travel on the /chunnel since it opened in the 90's. The outward and return journey [14th and 21st August 2022] were the worst I have ever experienced and will try really hard not to have to use it agian, preferring to use sea crossing or North Sea crossing. The wait without communication of any sort in the blazing sun was unforgiveable, not reasons were given for extreme delays until a lady told us, after I chased aroubnd to find something out [I had 2 children with me] that trains were too hot to load a full train so only half trains were going. We were at the terminal 3.5 hours. Coming home, no boards worked, we were all herded onto the departure concourse and left until an unliste train that looked lilke 2 together took us back 30 minutes late. But as you now have to check in at lease 75 minutes before departure this makes this crossing untenable in furture as far as I am concerned

Loading was quick and well directed. Similarly on the rteturn very much earlier train which was much appreciated. i suspect in the height of the season things will be different. i have heard some horror stories. the crossings was fast and unloading likewise. to be honest I did not enjoy sitting in my car for the crossing but as it took 35 minutes no problem. To sum up quick and efficient due to low traffic levels. On the whole I prefer the ferry as the voyage is part of the holiday.

I previously entered a review where I complained that DF would not allow me to change a booking less that 24 hours before the time booked, even though Eurotunnel were happy to do so. You replied saying it was possible to change the booking up the scheduled time. You are mistaken. I tried to make the change, but got a pop-up saying I could not change the booking as it was less than 24 hours before the time booked. Fortunatley Eurotunnel could make the change for me. I would stress that the change was not due to our capriciousness, but due to the fact that we were advised the evening before not to drive in the south of England on Feb 18 due to gales. Please note that replies below refer to Eurotunnel and not to DF. DF would get a significantly poorer review.

Due to COVID last year we were not allowed to travel, it took 9months to reschedule the crossing for this Christmas, I emailed and requested to change our outward trip from one day from the 19th to the 18th Dec......I am still waiting for a response. Because it was necessary to travel on the 18 we had to book through eurotunnel at great expense. The major issue was our return trip we were stopped at eurotunnel and told that because we didn’t use the outward journey it invalidated the return part of the ticket meaning that we had to pay another £260 for this part of the trip making the booked return trip under direct ferries booking was about as useful as a chocolate teapot which all could have been avoided if Direct Ferries had responded.

Hi - really happy with our booking from Direct Ferries, especially as I messed up the return dates and changing them was quick and easy using the manage my booking page. One thing: Nowhere I saw in your booking information is it clear that I need to supply my passport details for the return journey from UK to France - I had entered my passport details once when I booked and thought that was it, but I had it ALL explained to me in tones I would hesitate to use to a toddler by the humourless Tunnel check in bloke. He took some time in telling me how wrong I was, and how people ' couldn't be bothered' to enter their details - it was pretty unpleasant, and he went out of his way to criticise Direct Ferries for not telling people to do it. As far as I know I didn't see anything stating that I had to do this for the return journey, so please, Direct Ferries, spell this out for the irresponsible among us who can't be bothered to deal with trivial details, even if it does concern us being able to get on the train. Otherwise - brilliant service and we see no reason to change anything, thanks

"The trip that never was..."
I received this review form today - the day after I did not travel from Folkestone to Calais on Eurotunnel. I did not travel because we are in the middle of a global pandemic and the Prime Minister has told the whole of the UK to STAY AT HOME. So I did. Of course I anticipated this and tried to contact Direct Ferries almost 2 weeks ago to find out what to do about my booking. I never got a response, apart from an email telling me that all queries would be answered closer to departure dates. Well, mine wasn't and I am still waiting for that response from Direct Ferries. My booking was one of those non-refundable jobbies. I get that - it means that if I do not travel I cannot get a refund. However, this is different HM Government ordered me NOT to travel and it is a matter of literally life and death. Call me naive but I do not expect Direct Ferries to profit from such a situation. I might add that all of my other trips which were booked for this period have been honoured by the travel companies such as P&O Ferries, Brittany Ferries, Booking.Com - in each case they have either refunded, or issued a voucher for future use with not an extra penny in charges. I still wait patiently for a response from Direct Ferries, or if you prefer Indirect Ferries, or even Profiteering Ferries. Only time will tell. Best regards Neil

Every thing was wonderful, but it is difficult to get the location of the terminal at the French side as the GPS took me to an area where it was difficult to find the right way to the departure area, I would suggest if you could assign a proper mark to direct people and car drivers to reach the Migration checkpoint as I spent a hard time to get in, apart from location difficulty every thing was great, many thanks for all your dedicated team Salim

The trains were clean and punctual both ways. I was able to transfer onto an earlier one on the return journey, arriving 30 minutes earlier than planned, which was very useful. Staff very polite. In the Immigration area the directions are not always clear. One is never sure to be going in the right direction in the wide spaces of the immigration areas.

We were travelling to Belgium for a relatives wedding where time was of the essence and did not want any hitches with the weather crossing the channel, so chose Eurotunnel and we were not disappointed as both outward and inbound were on time. The booking process was easy and I set up texts to my mobile in case it were needed. Staff friendly and helpful. cafe and shopping facilities good at both of the ports. Only negative was one toilet at front of train- oiutward and could have been cleaner! Good value and would definitely use again.

"Nice service, unnecessary charge"
We enjoy the shuttle very much - and drive back and forth to London often - and the service is always excellent. But we never know precisely when we will get to the ferry terminal on account of London and M20 traffic. For this reason we usually book later than we arrive, and then we are faced with a £75 charge if we want to go earlier. This seems entirely unnecessary when the train being ridden is empty - as yesterday - and we would appreciate it if the Shuttle stopped making such early-bird charges.

"Generally Good"
We are resident in France but are returning to UK after living in France for some years. On our Calais to Folkestone leg we had our 2 dogs & 1 cat with us. We then left all animals in uk in kennels/cattery in UK and returned to France for our final van load to move permanently to UK. When booking Eurotunnel you cannot have pets on just one leg (the system will not allow it) so it showed on the booking we had the pets on the return leg & oh boy it caused confusion at check in. They just did not see why we were not bringing the pets back to France. We got grilled about having no pets? They just could not understand despite our explanations. Maybe in hindsight I should’ve booked a oneway trip to UK with the pets & then a one way trip back without them?? Also the way we did it (return) we had to pay for pets returning to France when in fact they stayed in the UK. I think Eurotunnel just need to change their system so you can remove pets from either leg of a return trip. Surely we cannot be the first people this has affected. ? Other than that and a really grim toilet block adjacent to lane 14 at 9am (no early morning cleaning of facilities??? ) the journey was good. Both trains ran on time :-)

"Our first experience of Eurotunnel - but certainly not our last"
We often travel to London for business and pleasure, and tend to use Eurostar for business and the ferry for family trips. Last weekend we needed to travel to the UK for a family birthday, and - following a friend's recommendation - decided to give Eurotunnel a go. Our experience was overwhelmingly positive. The Eurotunnel offers all the benefits of the ferry in terms of being cost competitive and allowing you to bring your car (and as much luggage as you can fit in). However, we found it better than the ferry in that the loading and offloading is much quicker and the crossing time is much shorter (35 minutes as opposed to about 2 hours), and the terminal is easier to get to. Also it is presumably less weather-dependent than the ferry as you are travelling in a tunnel. You also don't have the hassle of having to vacate your car and decamp to the upper decks during the journey as you do on the ferry (which is undoubtedly a great bonus for those with mobility issues). Not leaving the car will also be a great bonus to us in the future when we travel with our dog and don't like to leave him alone. Overall we were very impressed with the experience (bar a delay in our outbound journey due to a technical traction issue) and will certainly use Eurotunnel in the future.

After queuing for a while to check in, we finally made the front & were handed a ticket to hang from our windscreen. We were then directed to wait in line behind all the other motorhomes, campervans etc. A French gentleman working for Eurotunnel then knocked on our window & asked if we were in a campervan to which we replied “yes”. He then proceeded to ask in an extremely rude manner “then why have you booked a small car?” We gave him the paperwork confirming that we had booked for the correct vehicle. He advised, again, not in the most professional manner that we had used a company who were “assholes” & that they always got bookings wrong. He asked us to park up & he would speak to his manager. He said we would have to pay extra & would miss our departure time. His manager made a call & basically advised the same & asked us to meet her at the passenger information place. The gentleman who assisted us there was very helpful & professional & advised that it was in fact it was a mistake made at checkin. We did not depart until 10:10am, we had booked to go on the 8:20am train! This had a knock on affect & we ended up incurring extra charges due to no fault of our own!
