How much would it cost to travel from Switzerland to England by car?

My daughter and her family are coming to visit me in the UK in a few months time. As they have 3 kids they would like to come by car. How much money would they roughly need for petrol (from Zurich, Switzerland to London, England) motorway 'taxes' in France etc - they want to go through the tunnel so I guess that costs too.How much would it cost to travel from Switzerland to England by car?hi...simply said i travel a lot from Ravensburg (160km from Z眉rich) to London (wimbledon) soutwest London by car. First of all it is easy if they would travel from z眉rich to schafhausen(border) then travel all the way through germany as it would not cost any cent on motorwaytax%26quot; like they have in france. schafhausen take A81 motorway towards stuttgart then A8 towards karlsruhe from there A65 towards Landau from there bundesstrasse B10 towards pirmasen then A8 Zweibr眉cken and enter luxenberg drive all the way on E411 until namur junction where u have the option either E40 via brussels or E42 via mons charoli Lille to enter france from belgium. Take ferry from dukerque (france) to dover (uk) the cheapest ferry with advanced booking. Ok calculating the distance until dover is 1060km. It means untill dukerque with kids short breaks of 5 u will be able to reach in 11hours time then 2hrs ferry. so it's best if they travel on evening or semi night time! depends how fast u drive as well but ti will be 120 euros of petrol oneway roughly+ cheap return ferry of 40 euros.

safe journey guys.......
