Eurotunnel Discount Vouchers

Eurotunnel provides rail travel through the Channel Tunnel aboard their high speed Eurostar trains. They operate a fleet of state of the art passenger and car shuttles and services run 24 hours, every day of the year. Prices to use the service are typically quite steep, although Eurotunnel also have discount codes to take advantage of.

The service provides motorists a vital link between the UK and the continent via a 50kms tunnel under the English Channel, with a connection time of 35 minutes from Folkestone to Calais. It features two rail tracks (one in either direction), with connecting rail services at either end and extensive surface facilities at Folkestone (UK) and Frethun (France). Access from the UK-end is via the M25 and M20 motorways.

Discount voucher deals with Eurotunnel often consist of money off timed return trips (two or five days, for example), as well as singles and short stays. Vouchers can often save as much as 70 per cent of the full ticket price, though you'll need to keep an eye out and book online.

Eurotunnel was formed in 1986 and the tunnel was opened in 1994 by the Queen and Fran�ois Mitterrand. It cost over �9 billion to finish all up � way over the initial budget � and lost out for several years due to lower than expected sales and operating costs. However, restructuring has seen nominal profits of late and a thicket of discount vouchers by Eurotunnel.
