Ferry Travel Information

Travel Information

We are agents for the leading Cross-Channel Transport operators. Our inclusive prices include the cost of a car on most Dover/Calais crossings with P&O Ferries. There are supplements for trailers, motorhomes and caravans, and for other routes. These are shown below. You may travel out and return on different routes, and certain ferry companies will allow you to combine crossings. Our Reservations Team will be able to advise you.

All supplements given are for single journeys and do not include sleeping accommodation. Please note that capacity is often restricted for overheight vehicles and details must be given at the time of booking.

Some operators charge for overheight and overlength vehicles. Please specify the type of sleeping accommodation you require and give alternatives as availability can be limited. Seats have a pillow and blanket provided on request. Most ferry companies now insist that sleeping accommodation is reserved for all party members on overnight sailings.

All departures are local times and you should arrive at least one hour before sailing. Please note that if you take a crossing which is earlier or later than that originally booked, the ferry company may impose a charge. L.P.G. cars are only allowed by certain companies. All prices are subject to change.
