Caravanners should fuel up before the ferry

Petrol and diesel in the UK is cheaper than many European nations at the moment

Caravan enthusiasts planning a trip to the continent should fuel up before leaving on the ferry or Eurotunnel, it has been claimed.

According to Post Office Travel Money, petrol and diesel in the UK is cheaper than many European nations at the moment.

Sarah Munro – head of the organisation – suggested that Brits should do some research before their journey to ensure that they are not ripped off.

She noted that petrol prices in the UK are generally quite favourable in comparison to European nations at the moment and advised drivers to fill up before leaving.

Diesel drivers should be especially keen to head to a filling station as it will cost them even more on the continent.

With the recent ash cloud chaos and strikes from British Airways staff, Stena Line has reported a record number of bookings in recent weeks.

Those heading to the continent should also sort out their foreign currency before they leave, Ms Munro added.
