I usually use eurotunnel. It’s quicker than the Dover ferry, not crazy pricing and so simple. Drive on, consume your snack, relax, drive off. But we usually head towards Bruges to the East or South to central France.
I once took the Newhaven ferry to cut out several hours driving west to east along the french coast to Calais, and then east to west along the A27 rather than M2,M25,A3. We were driving back from Portugal up the west coast of France via Bilbao. I recollect a cost saving, but price was not the issue as there were four of us splitting costs.
Never again. We arrived late in the evening and there was one border officer to check us all off. After only an hour and forty minutes wait we were on our way.
