Managing your transport is easy. Account customers can book crossings for their vehicles or use number plate recognition via dedicated online services. 

Le Shuttle Freight and VanPro prices may vary depending on your travel date, so we recommend checking fares in advance for VanPro bookings and consulting the Peak Days calendar if you’re crossing with the Freight service.  

Please note that a maximum of three passengers are authorized to travel in a commercial van crossing on LeShuttle Freight. This includes the driver.  

On your booked departure date, you can board the next available freight shuttle. Bookings are valid for 72 hours (24 hours prior to and after the booked date of travel). Touch-screens have been installed on our terminals at check-in specifically for vans. These are located in specific lanes and are clearly signposted from the access roads.
