A day in France for the price of a tank of petrol. The crossing takes about 90 minutes, so you can be in Calais by mid-morning, drive on to the beaches of the Côte d’Opale or into Belgium, and be back in Dover the same evening.

Our tip
Day trips are popular before Christmas, so book early for December Saturdays. January is usually quieter and the offer now runs until the end of that month. Want more time in France? Compare it with P&O’s 3-day short break from £120.
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.
