Just give them height etc when booking. Think departure time is quite 'slack' TBH, ive turned up when they were boarding last few lanes - guess as long as you get in the queue before the loadmaster says thats it all is hunky dory. As Lee says, they will tell you exactly what lane to go in BUT the port os very well labelled so dont worry- signs everywhere.
Car parks are obvious, if you are there early best to just book in and get in queue , if nothing else you get off quicker. Plenty of gas stations in calais BUT remember both Calais AND Dover petrol stations will spank you wallet badly- always have done and no doubt always will.

Those stupid looking little cars with the moped engine in them that old people drive. You will be bombing down the road and they look like they are going the same speed as you untill you nearly run into the back of one.
I was that angry with one of them this one time I threw my can of beer at them. I always use the tunnel- it seems to work out cheaper and I can pretty much turn up and go if there is room and if I turn up late just get the next one- found a lot of ferry companies take the piss cause its a van. BTW best fun I've ever had was driving a shagged out LT into the middle of Paris this year- they might drive like twats but know when not to!
