LeShuttle Tickets FAQs

Why are weekend tickets more expensive?

Ticket prices are more expensive at weekends because more people travel on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so there is greater demand for tickets.

Does LeShuttle have a loyalty programme?

Yes, if you’re a Club LeShuttle member, every time you book tickets with LeShuttle you can earn Avios to spend on future bookings. You’ll also get access to a range of discounts, special offers and competitions.

Can you get a Eurotunnel £25 return ticket?

The lowest permanent fare currently available is £100, the Short Stay Saver, which is available for return trips of 5 days or less. From time to time we offer a day trip and overnight fare (currently £69). These are the prices per vehicle, each way. So while LeShuttle does not offer a £25 return ticket, it is possible to share the cost if you are travelling in a group and make significant savings. See our latest tickets Terms and Conditions for the very latest pricing information.

What’s the cheapest I can travel with LeShuttle?

Our lowest permanent fare is the Short Stay Saver (£100 per vehicle each way), available for return trips of 5 days or less. But you can travel for less than this per person. For example, a group of five friends travelling in one car on a Short Stay Saver ticket will pay £190 return. Split equally, the cost is £38 each – only £19 per person to get to France! If the day trip and overnight fare is available, this could be even less. See our latest Terms and Conditions for the very latest ticket pricing information.

Booking a Flexiplus ticket with LeShuttle means you’ll enjoy a dedicated check-in lane, an exclusive lounge with complimentary refreshments and priority boarding at the time you choose to travel.
