Cheapest ferries anyone?

[Rhubarb]

Needed for dh when he travels from France to the UK in July. We can't use any ferry company like CondorFerries because he has a high van with a caravan and they won't take it.

No Calais crossings either, it has to be from Cherbourg, Caen or San Malo.

Anyone?

Probably Brittany ferries Rhubarb.

Could try aferryto.com

How about condor ferries?

Can't do Condor Ferries. Have tried the other sites too, they'll all very expensive. aferry quoted 400 euros!!!!

Hi, rhuby

I remember going through this when you went, all those years ago

Why is Calais no good?

Too far for him to drive, when you consider petrol, a stop over and everything, he's better off going for the other ports such as Caen, Cherbourg or San Malo.

I know, I remember this when we set off too. It's awful and I'm finding it really really hard tbh. Our flight back is booked, Wed 13th July.

Is £82 a lot or not?

That was \link{http://travel.norfolkline.com/default.asp?ID={20AD366D-2034-4F0E-B61E-967A9CF9A25E}\Norfolk LIne} from Dunkirk, I can't remember how far that is - is it further than Calais?

Oh it is, just checked, bum. Sorry.

£131 Le Havre to Portsmouth with LD lines on aferry.

\link{http://www.aferry.to/quote/Booking/AFRYBook2.asp?A=A&SD=40176103301320060417184555\Quote here is £135}, that's for minibus height 2.2m (?) and caravan.

Booked Le Havre for £150. Thanks Janh!

Oh good - that seems v reasonable for the amount of space needed

It'll take him 8 hours to drive there though, no sleep on the ferry, it departs at 5pm and gets there at 9.30pm. He'll have to stop over somewhere on a layby and sleep overnight. But at least he should be back in Lancs by Friday night, which means he can babysit on the following Sat - and what is happening on Sat 17th July??????????

Mumsnet Northern Meet-Up!!!
