Answer 1

If you want to have your car with you, first you'll need to book for passage to cross from Dover to Calais, either by ferry or by the tunnel via Eurotunnel Shuttle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurotunnel_Shuttle ).



In the summer months, you can go on Motorail (http://www.raileurope.co.uk/default.aspx?tabID=493 ) from Calais to Nice, then drive from Nice to Italy. The following link is an excellent guide on using the Motorail (http://www.seat61.com/Motorail.htm#Franc... ). The benefit of Motorail train is you and your vehicle are on the same train so you'll arrive at the same time and the cost of your travel is per car AND the passengers tickets included.



Otherwise, as advised by Choco BN, the alternative is Autotrain. However, your vehicle is delivered overnight separately while you will need to get separate tickets on normal train services to travel to the same destination. So unlike Motorail you will not be on the same train as your car.

Answer 2

I'm not sure I understand your question. You want to travel by car or train?



If you want to put your car on the train to avoid driving through France, you can do so in France from Lille to Fréjus-St-Raphaël on the French Riviera or from Paris to Nice. Fréjus is an hour's drive to the Italian border and Nice is a 10-minute drive to Italy.



It's called auto-train: http://www.tgv-europe.com/en/Passenger_services/Auto_Train/?rfrr=HomeEdito_header_Auto%20Train



You can book your own train ticket online but not the ticket for your car.



EDIT: Since the auto-train is not cheap, I agree with the first person that its easier to just fly to Italy and rent a car there. It's also easier to drive with a car that is made for right handside driving because it's a pain to reach to the opposite side of the car when you need to pay at a toll booth or press the button for a ticket to enter a parking garage (if you are travelling alone).

Answer 3

I don't think so.



Seems like it would be easier and a lot cheaper to fly Ryan Air and rent a car in Italy.

Answer 4

i take advantage of the SNCF's cyber web internet site. do not purchase tickets from US websites like RailEurope, who fee far extra and don't instruct you each and every and all the recommendations. on the SNCF internet site you ought to purchase tickets, fee them on your mastercard, and then the two print them at abode or %. them up on the station earlier you pass. ensure to pass away time to attend in line on the cost ticket workplace, considering that your US mastercard won't artwork in the computerized cost ticket machines. I see tickets from Paris to Milan as much less costly as 40 5,00€ on some dates.

Answer 5

You can purchase a eurail ticket if you plan on travelling to other countries. Other than that it'd be hella expensive.
