have you thought about using tesco clubcard vouchers if you use them . I know they do a good saving for the tunnel crossing which i discovered to my cost after I had booked and im pretty sure they do ferries as well.

Have you looked at LD Lines, I think that is what they are called, also I think that they sail out of Portsmouth. I also seem to remember that they favour French and French home owners. A French friend of mine told me that they got excellent rates with them.
Just ran a quote with them on their website and they are £50 cheaper for my car and family, with a cabin and 4 adults, than the others were 2 years ago for 2 adults and 2 children. For the last 2 years I've driven to Dover/Folkstone due to the excessive charges of P&O and Brittany, this company have now made a Portsmouth trip seem more reasonable again.

Thank you Kevin, I have signed up with Brittany Ferries now and they offer members 30% discount. for trip over 5 days. Also discounted meals. I am happy with this. I understand LD lines are very competitive as a no-frills ferry company, ryanair of the ferfy companies. Hopefully the comptetion will sharpen up the market.
