Latest travel information

Customers with high vehicles/roof boxes

To avoid over-extended waiting times, customers must advise Eurotunnel Le Shuttle in advance if they are planning to travel with a vehicle higher than 1.85 metres (including roof boxes). We do NOT charge an additional fee for high vehicles or vehicles fitted with a roof box, however we do require prior notice so that we can allocate them correctly. Please call the Contact Centre on +44 (0) 8443 35 35 35. Customers who notified us at the time of booking are not required to notify us again.

Adverse weather and road conditions

If weather or road conditions are likely to affect the time of your arrival at the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle Folkestone or Calais terminal, please ensure you take extra care whilst driving and allow enough time for your journey.

We recommend that you check the latest weather forecast and road conditions for your entire journey before setting off.

Some advice before you set off on your journey

• Ensure your windscreen wipers are fully functioning
• Make sure your winter driving kit is in the car and includes a fully charged mobile phone - please do not use whilst driving.
• Bring extra food and drinks just in case you get delayed on route to our terminal
• Don't forget to ensure you have a first aid kit plus any personal medication too
• Pack additional entertainment for the children and snacks and water for your pets
