Tips and tricks for a smooth journey
- Book your ticket online: Reserve your LeShuttle crossing in advance via the official LeShuttle (Eurotunnel) booking page. Choose your travel date, preferred time, and vehicle type.
- Select the right vehicle details: Make sure you enter the correct vehicle category, length, and height (especially if you have a roof box, wide body kit, or a large SUV). This can affect availability and pricing.
- Timing tip: For a smooth start, book an earlier crossing than you think you need—traffic and check-in queues can happen. Many tickets allow you to take an earlier/later departure if there’s space (check your ticket conditions).
- Check travel documents: Bring valid passports for all passengers. Also check if you need additional documents for your destination (e.g., insurance/green card rules depending on your insurer and country).
- Plan your arrival: Aim to arrive at the terminal well before departure to allow time for check-in and border controls. Follow the on-site signs and staff instructions.
