=== Aviva la Loca, September 2011 ===Cars pay per passenger so that makes it hard to get a free ride. Trucks can take 1 person but you have to meet the trucker outside the fenced in area. The jice nice guard told me at the ticket booth that it was very possible to hitchhike and he was quite friendly. There are 2 boats a day, one at 5h 05:00h and also at 18h18:00. They take abt about 4 hours. Because I didn't meet truckers outside, I got to the port at 202:30am 30 I decided to buy a ticket because the truckers were all inside. I bought a ticket at about 303:45 because they said the foot passagers passengers closes at about 404:15 to get the little bus to go to the boat. The ticket was 25€ (€ not £) eur 25 and I asked about a student/youth discount and he said oh yes its 20% off so i I paid 20€ eur 20 and never asked for student ID. So all in all it's very possible according to hitchhike but youo you need to find truckers before they go in and at least for the 5am ferry I recommend getting there before 202:30am 30 or 3am03:00, maybe even around 10pm22:00? 

:I'd heard before about hitching cars so I tried waiting infront in front of the passport control. Someone picked me up but as they'd made a reservation, the control kicked me out when they saw I wasn't on the ticket! Then they tried to charge me 65 euros to cross as a foot passenger! After I kicked up a fuss they brought it down to 50, still outrageous but after failing to get a lift to '''Calais''' (very difficult route) I had to pay it.

I travelled from Newhaven to Dieppe on the ferry (around £25 as Car drivers who have already made a foot passenger), taking the night ferry which arrives around 3am. As prices booking are nearly all based on named people on charged a ticketsmall fee to change details in their booking, rather than per car as for instance the number of passengers they have on other routes, board. If you cannot hitch want a ferry herelift, since you won't be on any named ticketprepared to pay this for them. I did this once and it was GBP 10. You could approach people who are approaching the Still cheaper than buying a foot passenger ticket office, to add you to their car, but that is difficult.

In contrast, when I walked have gone from the port Dover to Avenue Gambetta which leads onto the Avenue des Canadiens (turn right after leaving port). Its a 2km walk and you simply walk along Dunkerque, they don't care how many passengers are in the coast passing over one bridgecar. Walk up Gambetta until you get Their logic might be that people are likely to a petrol station. I had a sign Rouen/ Parisspend some money on board, and got a lift within 20 minutes. If you get an hours sleep at so the portmore there are, get to the road early to catch the workers heading Southbetter.
