In answer to earlier question you need to travel three times in a year to qualify for a discount card. The card then allows 20% discount for the card holder. The discount was also allowed against special offers.
We have found the Newhaven Dieppe route works best for us if you can get a ticket, in the past always booked quickly and Hoverspeed also seem to cancel the crossing route everey now and then.
Booked last year, followed by a weeks hols in France and a booze trip planned for later this month (£15 for a car !!), thus qualified me for the 20% discount.
Keep the rant line open.

p.s. any one watch speed machines on channel 4 last night - dear dear bunny and all that..................
Well as ts a mere 30 minutes from here to Newhaven its my favourite route. However they do have a habit of cancelling the crossings. In 2002 I did the crossing 3 times and on all three occasions my crossing back was cancelled and on 2 of them I had to drive to Calais.
This year we couldn't get a booking bcak from Dieppe so I drove to Calais anyway!
Hmmm 3 crossings a year. probably manage that!
