The Beach has campervan on its V5 so that's what you pay if you put your number in the booking, but a Caravelle would be a car over 1.8m and cheaper.

You can put number unknown, and put it as the car over 1.8m and save a bit, it seems to work for some folk.

Take your pick.

Was that using the online booking with your registration number?

Hi There, yes it was but my Beach says MPV on the V5 (DVLA classed it as that even though I wrote Motor Caravan on the registration papers), however, I believe you’re given the choice on a drop down box as to CAR BELOW 1.85, CAR ABOVE 1.85, CAMPERVAN, VAN, CAR WITH BIKES etc etc.... go through it on the website and it gives you all of these choices and prices accordingly well before payment/commitment. I put Campervan in initially and it came in at around £117 one way so I scooted back and put Car over 1.85m and it came to £95.

So, in short, when I did it, the registration No. and vehicle classification were left up to me to enter. Hope that helps. Stu

Edit: Here are the choices on the first page of the Eurotunnel Website:

Just tried a dummy run with my reg number and it tells me off if I have put car over 1.85m in... Wants to charge me as campervan due to v5 class (motor caravan).

Ah, so they’re ok taking more money from me if I’m an MPV and put in Campervan but not the other way round - Typical!

In that case, perhaps worth calling them up to book over the phone and tell them you haven’t got a sink or a hob etc. I’ve booked over the phone many times and they’re usually very helpful. You still get the same confirmation email with a booking reference and password so you can then go in and make amendments online even though it was phone booked. Good luck, be interested to know how you get on.
