Hi everyone,
We picked up our Beach last Friday and are loving it! Switched from a Fiesta to a Beach so quite a change in drive, and we think its great. I understand what everone says now about driving it with a smile!
I'm planning our first big trip in it for April over to France. Our plan is to take the tunnel but I don't know what to book as. (sorry if this has already been discussed, but I could only find posts relating to the SE and not the Beach)
The options seem to be:
Car with roof box/bikes:
Any car (including roof box, roof rack or cycles) over 1.85m in height, used for private, tourist, leisure or business travel. This excludes minibuses, campervans, trailers, caravans, motorcycles and any light commercial goods vehicles carrying commercial goods for resale.
If the height of your vehicle exceeds 1.85m, even though you are not carrying roof box, roof rack or cycles, please select this category.
or
Campervan:
Any vehicle which includes living accommodation (including (without limitation) seats, table, sleeping, cooking and storage facilities).
A Beach doesnt have cooking or storage facilities so I'm hoping to get away with booking as a car. Has anyone ever done this or had problems with this?
Its a £40 difference there and back so not worth it if it causes lots of hassles.
Thanks in advance.
Carol
