its very straightforward. we use the tunnel regularly - usually snooze the 35 mins crossing. if youre offered a quick straightaway crossing and drive up to the loading area theres usually still a few minutes and a hedge if youve misjudged the dogs wee time!! ( only happened once poor dog!)
the check in on the way back isnt a problem . we once came back on New Years Eve when they had a marquee erected for the huge crowds expected the next day but weve never had to wait for more than one dog in front of us to check his chip and passport.
Vet fees have ranged from 40 euros for 4 minutes in Chamonix to 7 euros in Brittany!
have a godd time!

Thank you for that Francine

We have booked the tunnel for August heading for Provence,Tesco voucher's for us ,but they wanted real money for Buster 15 month Springer ,he has done three weeks in Scotland in freezing weather ,went swimming in Loch Lomond .
Biggest problem we have he is awake and wants out of his crate by 5.30am ,but does go back to sleep on mind or Pauline's feet .
