'''Important to know: the trucks park in the ferry so close that it's not possible to open the doors. That means that you'll spend more than 1.5 hour closed in a box with a stranger and the driver can only take one person legally - and they check your IDs etc on the entrance so none of them will take the risk of a fine there. I don't know if it is like this on every ferry and all the time, but it's not recommended to go with any trucks on a ferry!'''
'''-EDIT -'''
This experience must be an exception...many hitchhikers have taken trucks without problem and get out easily.
'''-EDIT-'''
as far as i have seen everybody is required to get out of their cars and go upstairs and then staff lock the parking area, so nobody stays in their cars/trucks while at sea. also, truckdrivers have their own rest area on the ferry with free '''tea/coffee + shower facilities'''. lots of truckdrivers know each other, so it's a good place to ask around for rides and information.
Near [[Calais]], there is a huge lorry park with great possibilities for hitchhikers to continue their journey once the crossing is done!
