We are both vaccinated but obviously 17 year old not. She would need a test every 48 hours in France.
I’m presuming you have to download an app. Tbh I haven’t got a clue🤔

I read that this has been extended until the 30th August before this is a requirement.

We are a party of 3 and we travelled via Eurotunnel and had no problems whatsoever, 2 fully vaccinated adults and 1 17 yr old going out 18 yr old coming back 😀

At the moment the process is

All tests have to be privately brought

covid test before travelling to France for all passengers over 11

Covid test before returning to uk for all passengers over 11

2&8 day pack of tests for all passengers over 11
This changes on the 19th July to just a 2 day test.


So we purchased antigen tests from C19 these were £29 at the time I brought 6 this covered our 3 for going to france and 3 to take before coming back into the UK, these were easy to use and certificates were emailed a few hours after uploading information, had no problems with boarder control either way.

We used Expert medical for our 2&8 days these cost £77.99 each and must be brought individually for each person as you only get 1 reference per order and everyone has to have a individual reference for your passenger locator form, we are still to fully use this service but we were emailed immediately with our codes and invoices for our passenger locator form and boarder control, and have had the email to say they will be delivered tomorrow by DPD.

So for each person our costs were
£29 outgoing test
£29 inbound test
£77.99 for 2&8 day test pack
Total per person was £135.99

Check .Gov as prices and options change daily there are on site and click and collect options for 2&8 day tests which bring the cost down a lot, some I've seen start at around £10 for on site testing.
