About Eurotunnel Freight

Eurotunnel is the fast, convenient, and cost-effective way to transport freight between the UK and France. With frequent crossings, easily accessible terminals and the turn-up-and-go service Eurotunnel freight has become the vital link in many supply chains.

Both terminals are located adjacent to motorway networks, with a dedicated junction with the M20 at Folkestone and another with the A16 motorway at Calais, meaning a motorway to motorway time of just 90 minutes!

On board Eurotunnel

Once checked in and on board, drivers can take advantage of the air-conditioned club car where they can relax for the duration of the 35 minute crossing. Hot and cold meals and drinks are available to purchase on board from 09:00 to 22:00 (Local times - Monday to Friday). Outside of these hours - vending machines offer a selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks.

As all border controls are carried out before departure, on arrival you return to your vehicle and exit directly on to the motorway.
