Went online this morning to find out the return fare on the above route to see if it would work out any cheaper that traveling from Dundee to Dover.Never went on the previous operator (Superfast) as they were too expensive.
Did not really expect too much and was not disapointed.They only quote including cabin !! So for our Nissan and Bailey caravan 12.5mtrs in length the fare quoted was £770 plus £30 for our dog total £800 return NO WAY !
To drive at easy pace to Dover,distance 525 mls at 25 mpg = 21 gallons of diesel at £4.20 Approx gallon = £86.94 plus DFDS to Dunkirk £122 including dog return a saving of £504.12 !!
So sod the carbon footfrint whats left will give us enough to pay our sites for the whole month of may that we are away.
Rip off or what !! Anyone any other rip off stories ?
