Eurotunnel Le Shuttle has shared 10 reasons to choose a self-drive holiday and experience the quickest way to the continent with a ferry crossing and a full VIP treatment.
This is in addition to avoiding baggage allowances and tedious airport queues.
Let’s take a look:
Top 10 reasons to choose a self-drive holiday with Eurotunnel Le Shuttle:
1 Greater flexibility
Driving allows your customers to be in charge of their own time schedule, explore the area, and make last-minute itinerary changes.
2 Avoid the airport
No waiting around for hours, queuing for check-in and security, and dealing with the crowds. Just get in the car and go.
3 Lower cost
The cost of flights and car hire has significantly increased since the pandemic, making Eurotunnel a much cheaper way to travel to Europe, particularly for groups and families.
4 Comfort
Your customers are free to travel at their own pace and make stops as and when you need to, whether they need to stretch their legs or get some food.
5 Reduce carbon footprint
If the car is full of passengers, carbon emissions will be reduced by up to 67% compared to flying.
Eurotunnel Le Shuttle produces on average 2kg of CO2 per car per crossing, compared to 147kg of CO2 for a typical Dover-Calais ferry. That’s 73x less!
6 More room for luggage
Your customers can even add a roof box or trailer for more space, and throw the bikes on the back or top of the car.
Also available are tax-free shopping and stock-up. A wide variety of goods qualify for a VAT refund (up to 20%) including cosmetics, technology, jewellery, and food and drink items.
7 Take the scenic route
Once in France your customers can drive to their destination, or stop overnight in one of the 17 beautiful French wine regions or maybe Paris, Lyon or Geneva.
8 No airport transfers
Airport transfers to hotels or resorts can involve waiting on other passengers, baggage issues and other delays, and can involve quite a long trip on a coach.
9 Family friendly
Your customers can stop frequently at service stations and laybys to let the children stretch their legs, and the constant change of scenery can help to keep them occupied.
10 Dog friendly
Pet dogs can accompany your customers in their cars and play in the designated pet exercise areas before boarding the shuttle. Cats, ferrets and other pets are also welcome.
