What is the cheapest way to cross the English Channel from France to the UK on foot, single ticket?

Depending where you’re going from/to, Eurostar tickets start at €39, which may work out cheaper than the ferry, plus travel to the port, plus travel from the port at the other end.

The cheapest way of all is to hitch-hike on a car going through EuroTunnel. There’s no charge to take an extra passenger.

It’s been a while since I used a cross-channel ferry service, but my memory is that they don’t keep track of who boards when it comes to foot passengers. So they essentially have no way of telling whether you used the return part of your journey or not. Of course they may be a little more technologically advanced now. Even if they did they have no way of knowing whether you legitimately changed your plans or missed the boat back. If you paid cash for the ticket there really isn’t much they can do.

Transeuropaferries used to offer very interesting offers from Ostend to Ramsgate. Unfortunately they do not operate anymore and when they did they didn’t allow boarding on foot.

A different solution would be to use Eurolines, you only need to board further away from Calais or Dover I just checked, a one way ticket from Brussels to London on June 20th is as cheap as 4 Eur one way. Don’t board the bus in Calais or Dover, because then they seem to charge similar prices as boarding the ferry on foot.
