R U sure? I have been through the tunnel in a car for £12 a couple of
years back and if you browse last minute.com you can get similiar
pricces. Also if you were to come up to harwich and go across to
holland it comes in at between £100-200 which even with the slight
extra fuel cost, will be cheaper than the tunnel.

£500 seams alot to me. if you are going to hire, it may be cheaper to
train it to brussels and then hire a bus from there.
