We are heading back to the UK by car this weekend and are totally confused which test is acceptable for entry.

There is a huge difference in price between PCR and antigen tests. 

The U.K. Gov website is unclear and I don’t won’t any problems when we get to Calais.

Thanks in advance

I think it's set out out pretty clearly here under the type of test required.
