Speed Ferries announce price increases from 4th July
Speedferries announced on their website last week that they're increasing their ferry prices on the Dover/Boulogne route due to increased diesel prices.
We've used them quite a few times this year and although it's a longish drive to our Brittany Holiday Gite, the motorways have far less congestion than in the UK and we've found it actually works out cheaper and quicker than taking a 'western channel' crossing into St Malo, Caen or Cherbourg.
A year or so ago the rumour was that SpeedFerries were going to buy a second boat for the Western Route and drive down prices as they have on the Dover route with the 'low cost airline' pricing model. Even so, their Dover/Boulogne prices currently start at £19, and after adding €20 for tolls and £40-50 for fuel, it's still worthwhile.
As they say, book now to avoid disappointment !
