The route in brief

From Amsterdam the drive heads past Rotterdam and Antwerp, skirts the Belgian coast and reaches the Eurotunnel terminal at Coquelles near Calais. After the crossing you emerge at Cheriton, Folkestone, a short distance from your destination.

Good to know at the terminal

  • Pet checks happen on the French side before you board
  • Have your pet passport or animal health certificate ready and accessible
  • There are exercise areas at the terminal, but follow on-site instructions
  • If a document is rejected, travel cannot continue until it is resolved

Questions owners ask

Is Folkestone the same as Dover?

No. Le Shuttle arrives at Folkestone. Dover is a separate port used by ferries. Both are in Kent and close together, and we can drive to either.

Can I stop for a night on the way?

Overnight stops can be discussed. Mention it in your enquiry so it is reflected in your fixed quote.
