Can You Drive Through the Channel Tunnel? No, But You Can Take Your Car on the Shuttle

You cannot drive your vehicle through the Channel Tunnel yourself. The tunnel is a rail-only passage connecting Folkestone, UK, with Coquelles, France, beneath the English Channel.

However, you can transport your car, motorcycle, or other road vehicle via the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle. This dedicated rail service loads vehicles onto specialized shuttle trains that travel through the tunnel. The crossing takes about 35 minutes.

The tunnel also carries high-speed Eurostar passenger trains and freight trains. So while you can't drive through, your vehicle can make the journey comfortably aboard the shuttle.
