Correct. There is 17 miles of toll free French motorway.

[listermint]

So there is no Tolls In Poland?

Right....

The cost is including 1 individuals Category 1 tickets for All of the group games yes.

I cant see you getting 10 Euro Accomodation in Poland during the Euro 2012 so 140 is laughable if you think thats going to happen.

And the OP said they bought the car so im assuming there was a cost and insurance / tax what not involved with that.


Im travelling Frankfurt to poland.

And yes i still think financially i am winning.

OP,For a few days in Holland,you could have got the overnight ferry from Hull to Rotterdam and also paid a visit to Amsterdam.

On your way to Poznan,you could have stopped off at Hanover or Wolfsburg which are halfway.

Do not pass food stuffs between vehicles while traveling on the autobhan, it is frowned upon by the locals

There is actually on A2 between German-Polish border in Swiecko to Poznan. 26zl = about €6.5. You will have to pay it anyway in your campervan at probably higher rate. Between Poznan and Gdansk you won't be using any motorway I assume. If you are traveling further east from Poznan towards Lodz and Warsaw, there will be further tolls. Also if you travel on A4 between Wroclaw and Krakow there are tolls, but I assume you won't be traveling there.

Surely not in a hotel, but as I said - comparable standard to living in campervan - probably you could. But you are right - I'm just guessing.

And the OP said they bought the car so im assuming there was a cost and insurance / tax what not involved with that.

I wasn't actually comparing OP to your case directly, but I was trying to compare if you took your own car and 4 lads in it, instead of flying and renting campervan would be cheaper.

Im travelling Frankfurt to poland.

Which Frankfurt is it?

And yes i still think financially i am winning.

I was basing on my own example traveling to Poland for few weeks for Christmas with my wife and daughter.
It came way cheaper to drive our own car, from west of Ireland to east of Poland (2500km) than flying, and renting a car there.

But yeh, generally more than 2 people it works out Cheaper to Drive.

Just depends on how much your time is worth to you I guess.

That would be the best route IMO, dublin - liverpool - Hull - Rotterdam. It would only take about two hours to get to hull from liverpool I think.

That ferry is wicked expensive though, usually about 180 euros more than the Calais - Dover route

[Fennelly]

Ferry is 100 return each.
Car cost us 500... less than 100 each
Fuel split 6 ways

Anyway... were thinking of staying somewhere between Cherbourg and Berlin, then staying in Berlin, before driving on to Poznan!

You cannot compare the two.The Hull-Rotterdam ferry is an overnight trip and takes about 8 hours,hence price.

Shur isnt the whole thing an experience.

Indeed, but if going to Ireland I'd prefer to 'drive' the experience rather than sit on a boat

Or Poland in this case

Well, going on the route that im getting from Google Maps, Berlin is only 2 ish hours away from Poznan.

Are ye flying to Frankfurt?

berlin is about 5-6 hours away due to road networks, polish/german drivers and well... general madness...


expect the un expected... ( then expect more drama after that if you dont know polsko/german )

done it before lads, its nothing that exciting really, thinking of driving a 125 or 126p back this summer.

Berlin to Poznan 5 or 6 hours??????
That's only 280km all on motorway.
If you don't get stuck on any traffic jams 2 hours is possible, while in 3 hours should be done easily.
