Eurotunnel bookings

[JoannaLesley]

Does anyone know when Eurotunnel open their bookings for next summer? I am looking to make a booking for early August 2015.

I have been trying to book going out in May and returning in July.
I rang them on yesterday and they told me that the July prices would be out at the end of November. I told them that when I rang in October the prices would be out at the end of October, the reply was you were told wrong.

Booking now for August 2015 seems a long way ahead. Over the years I've found that about 3 months in advance (if that) still gives you a good price, particularly if you have some flexibility. Apart from the 'dark hours' late morning or around 15.30 seems to be a good time from UK and around 10.00 a good time coming back.

Unfortunately this route no longer fits my requirements too well, so I've not tried for about a year.

Thanks Ray,
I agree with you about flexibility and this is usually what we do. However, this year we have a tight schedule involving several hours to Ashford and a long onward journey with an overnight stop half way. Since we are travelling for a family wedding, we aren't able to be flexible without incurring significant costs in hotels etc. We are not taking the caravan on this one.

I will be using Tesco points as usual!

I rang Eurotunnel on Sunday they told me the prices for July would be out on Wednesday, no they weren't rang again yesterday and they said in a couple of days. I thought perhaps the Caravan Club may have prices so contacted them. They rang Eurotunnel who told them it would be December and the prices would be out for July and maybe August.
I think I will just try every couple of days as Eurotunnel can't make up their minds.

OK. Thanks. That's helpful and I think I will do the same! Just got a new lot of Tesco points through, so that will make even more of a difference.
