It is indeed more expensive (£214 for a car and the two of us with reclining seat supplements Thursday to Monday in 2006), but location plays a big part.
You live in Kent, so you have the cheapest option reasonably close by. If I'm one of the first cars off the ferry at Portsmouth, I bet I'm parked in my driveway before the last car has disembarked. I do consider Dover, but the thought of the M2 and even more the M25 after a long day always comes second best to paying more on the long-sea route with a few minutes on the road thereafter.
The new autoroute scheduled to open in December will cut the time of both of our journeys next year and will be very welcome.
