I want to go either to cherbourg or caen for 24hrs and I would ideally like it for next to nothing! But I can`t find a cheap crossing, any ideas, it seems I have to pay the same (£150) as I would if I stayed for 5 days. If anyone knows otherwise please let me know

Thanks

I've not looked for ages, so I may be out of date, but have a look on ebay and see if anyone is flogging any discount vouchers.

is Brittany Ferries no good to you? http://www.brittanyferries.co.uk/index.cfm?articleid=161&CFID=291832&CFTOKEN=94548838

I know their £9.95 is a bit of a come on and you end up paying more but I should think it works out at less than £150.

In principle why should the fares be dependent on the length of time one stays in France  ?

I'm not "having a go" Ronni, just a generally confused accountant (as per usual).

not

I did the Brittany Ferries 24-hour a couple of weeks ago, and with a 4-berth cabin each way it came to about £61 for 2 adults and a normal-size car, including Property Owner's Club discount. Why it should be £345 when I stay 3 weeks I don't know! And I'm not even an accountant...

Hi Dick,

I've heard that people love their car, but how did you manage to get the crew to let you take it into your cabin ?

[Dick Smith]

It was a 4-door cabin.
