Day trips are popular before Christmas, so book early for December Saturdays. Want more time in France? Compare it with P&O’s 3-day short break from £110.
Our verdict
Hard to beat for a quick trip across the Channel with the car. Just make sure it really is a day trip: the price only applies to same-day returns.
