    Thanks, informative video. How long does it take to get from the beginning (lanes where you have to confirm your booking) to the train (boarding)? It says on the the online booking process that I have to arrive at least 45 mins before departure. From your video it does not look like you arrived much earlier unless you did not show some of the time you was waiting at the car park?

    • @DjBlinkBlink
      @DjBlinkBlink  Před 4 lety +5

      Thank you for the kind feedback mate. As per your question, yes I trimmed down the video and did not show some of the time I was waiting at the car park. I also increased the speed of the video to make it faster at some parts. If I remember correctly, I arrived almost 2hrs to my boarding time (I tend to give extra time just to be on the safe side which paid off on my return journey from France cos there was massive delays).
      Truthfully, if all goes well it should not take you more than 30 minutes from the beginning to the train (boarding), however when does things ever go well? lolzzz

      @@DjBlinkBlink Thanks for quick answer. I have a dilemma now. I booked a train at 5.20am and was going to leave my place at 4am (my journey to Folkstone takes 40mins), but after you replied I think I might need to leave my place earlier or change the booking (if possible). The weird thing is that I was notified about the required arrival time right after I finished my booking, did not notice it before (I have to admit I did not check this properly). I did take eurotunnel train twice before as a passenger of the coach and both times it took max. 20mins from the beginning to boarding. Therefore, I was very confused about required arrival time before departure. One more time thanks for video and your quick reply, cheers.

      @@ArturBartlinski You are welcome again mate. To be honest, you don't need to change your booking time. If I was in your shoes, with a booked train of 5.20am and a journey time to Folkstone of about 40mins, I would leave my house 3.30am with a planned arrival of 4.10am (this gives me 1hr 10 mins to board and I would not have any reason to panic). So just leave your home 30mins earlier to your planned time of 4am and you should be fine.

      Hello Mate, To drive in France you need the following (list may not be up to date), European car insurance cover, road side achohol tester (at least 2), GB sticker, Hazard triangle sign, and high visibility vest for all the passengers. Also make sure you have medical insurance for the days you would be in France. Finally ensure your "speed camera" detector is off on your sat nav.

      If you travel UK-bound, all checks including British passport checks take place in France. So in both directions everything is done before the actual crossing, so that you can resume your journey immediately upon arrival.

    • @DjBlinkBlink
      @DjBlinkBlink  Před 5 lety +1

      Hello Kamerlif3,
      They don't check or ask for your driver licence or insurance policy at any point of the border. Only the police would ever ask you for this and that would be if they stopped you when driving on the roads in Europe.
      So to answer your question, they don't check any of this at any of the border or crossing.
      Cheers,
      DJ Blink-Blink

    How many minutes should I arrive before departure?

    • @DjBlinkBlink
      @DjBlinkBlink  Před 3 lety +2

      If you are using the Eurotunnel, you need to check in at least 45 minutes before departure. Personally, I always arrive 2hrs before my departure time. This would give me enough time if there is any congestion which happened to me on my return journey from Brussels (see link) czcams.com/video/wfWzwIwXwFk/video.html
      So just play it safe by giving enough time before your departure.
      Cheers, DJ Blink-Blink

      To answer your question, tickets are available at the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle on the day, but this is subject to availability. You should be aware though that the further ahead you book, the cheaper the ticket is likely to be and tickets purchased on the day of travel would always be at the highest cost.

    As i am planning to go to italy via france (obviously) and using the eurotunnel this is rally informative, i do have some questions however:
    i'll use a pretty wide car (RS6), so i've been told that i can use the left lane at 03:40 to go with caravans/vans. is that possible ? do i have to pay more or specify when booking the train?

    • @DjBlinkBlink
      @DjBlinkBlink  Před 4 lety +2

      Thanks mate for your feedback.
      To answer your questions:
      1. Yes you can use the left lane (caravans/vans)
      2. When making your booking via the website then make sure you select the "overheight or van" option as your vehicle. You can also call them on the phone and request for "high side" when booking. This would give you the ground floor of the train. On this floor, the curbs are set back and they don't jutt in and out along the carriages. This would give your car more room on the side when you drive in.
      3. To my knowledge, you don't have to pay extra for this. Just ensure you give them all the information as required.
      Kind regards,
      DJ Blink-Blink

Cheers

      @DjBlinkBlink  Před 4 lety +1

      Hello Sam,
      If you plan to travel to Calais to collect a puppy, you would need to do a couple of things which are highlighted below:
      1. Book a ticket for your pup (pet) for £20 each way www.eurotunnel.com/uk/travelling-with-us/travelling-with-your-pet/
      2. You need to get a EU pet passport for the pup
      3. The pup must be fitted with a microchip
      4. It must be at least 12 weeks old and must be vaccinated against rabies
      5. Must be treated against tapeworm
      This checklist explains this in detail www.eurotunnel.com/uk/travelling-with-us/travelling-with-your-pet/checklist/
      As per the second part of your question, I did not notice any special adaptations to people's cars that were travelling with their pets.

      If I remember correctly, we used the pet lane on our return journey from France and that must have been due to the congestion. If I am wrong and it was the first part of our trip (from the UK), then it must have been either an open lane or maybe we were routed there.
      One thing I saw 100 % was people getting their pet documents ready to be shown when they took them to a play area (there are various places you can exercise your pets and all). So definitely you would need to show the documents for your pet.

You pay per vehicle for Eurotunnel irrespective of the number of people travelling in the car which is why the Eurotunnel website asked for your vehicle registration alone and not the number of travellers. Remember though, everyone travelling in your car must have their passport with them as required.

    • @DjBlinkBlink
      @DjBlinkBlink  Před 4 lety +1

      Yes you can travel with a roofbox. You would be directed to another carriage that has a higher entrance and not the entrance I used. The quote below is from the Eurotunnel website:
      "Customers with high vehicles/roof boxes"
      To avoid over-extended waiting times, customers must advise Eurotunnel Le Shuttle in advance if they are planning to travel with a vehicle higher than 1.85 metres (including roof boxes). We do NOT charge an additional fee for high vehicles or vehicles fitted with a roof box, however we do require prior notice so that we can allocate them correctly. Please call the Contact Centre on +44 (0) 8443 35 35 35. Customers who notified us at the time of booking are not required to notify us again.
