If you look respectable, are from a respectable country, [[USA]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], to name a few, you are unlikely to have any problems entering the UK, even as a hitchhiker. Show a passport from [[Somalia]], [[Pakistan]] or [[Iran]], to name a few that are somewhat less respectable in the eyes of the UK government, expect lots of hassle, including being denied entry.
If you think you will fall in the latter category, you might consider spending the money to buy a foot-passenger (return) ticket yourself to avoid causing trouble for your driver, although that does not in any way reduce the risk that you're denied entry either in France or upon arrival in Dover. Note theres not foot-passenger ferries during the night, till 6-7am and the terminal building is closed for night.
As with any border crossing, it helps if you look respectable, '''even''' if you come from the EU or respectable countries, and have money (or better, a credit card) to support yourself.
