Ferries to France will always remain a popular travel option for holidaymakers from the U.K. Taking your car, caravan or motorcycle with you avoids the hassles and delay using hire cars on unfamiliar roads. There are many options to choose from - if you just want to get over the water as quick as you can, a high speed catamaran on a short crossing might be for you. If you enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of a mini-cruise an overnight trip on a more luxurious ferry with fine dining facilities could be more up your street. Your first consideration should be your destination - have a good look at road routes in France before you make up your mind. A little extra driving to a different port in the U.K. could save you hours of driving on the other side.
