Why choose LeShuttle?
Drive your car to France
Faster than a ferry, greener than a plane. Take your car by train. LeShuttle is fast, convenient, and puts you in the driver’s seat. With up to 4 crossings per hour through the Channel Tunnel, and tickets to suit every type of traveller, LeShuttle lets you take your car to France and beyond.
The fastest way to cross the channel by car
With LeShuttle, you'll travel between Folkestone and Calais in just 35 minutes, giving you more time to explore France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and wherever your car (or campervan, motorhome, caravan or motorbike) takes you next. Drive on and drive off on the other side of the channel before you know it.
Travel in the comfort of your own car
LeShuttle, formerly known as Eurotunnel Le Shuttle, is a great way to travel to France and beyond in your car.
Whether you're going solo or bringing the whole gang, for the price of one ticket you can take up to 9 people - and we have a range of ticket options. So you can bring the little ones, the dog and as much as you can pack in the car - we're ready for you!
Families love LeShuttle - it's an exciting adventure going under the sea through the Channel Tunnel. The crossing is only 35 minutes, so there is almost no time for the kids to get bored! Then once you're in France, so many destinations are just a short drive away - from Disneyland® Paris to Parc Astérix, the beaches of Normandy to the irresistible charms of Paris itself. Find out more about what France has to offer (as well as Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany) in our Travellers Guides.
Bring your pets along
Taking your car to France on LeShuttle means you can bring your pets too!
We make travelling to France with a dog (or any four-legged friend) easy – with terminals designed with our animal passengers in mind. From our pet reception to Paws-port control, we're proud to have carried more than 4 million happy pets since 2000.
Ticket prices for pets on LeShuttle start from £22 per pet each way. Pets stay with you in your car for the duration of the 35-minute crossing through the Channel Tunnel. Just make sure all your pet documentation is up to date before you travel.
The planet friendly choice
LeShuttle, formerly known as Eurotunnel Le Shuttle, is one of the greenest ways to travel between the UK and the continent. Cars that travel with us to and from France emit 73 times less CO2 than crossing the Channel by ferry, and lorry emissions are 12 times less. We use entirely electric locomotives in our shuttles, and more than 50% of renewable energy is used in LeShuttle's electricity consumption.
We even have our own nature reserve - the 30-hectare Samphire Hoe, at the foot of the White Cliffs of Dover.
Travel options day and night
LeShuttle runs through the Channel Tunnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. So you can drive your car to France at the time and at the ticket price that suits you.
With up to 4 shuttles per hour and a range of flexible ticket options, from short stays to standard and Flexiplus tickets, and options for travelling by car, motorcycle, campervan, motorhome, caravan and bicycle, LeShuttle gives you more ways to travel to and from France on your terms.
