Travelling to the lovely French coast on a ferry is a wonderful experience. The refreshing sea breeze, the colourful atmosphere on board and the glorious time to rejuvenate your spirits are enchanting enough to pack your bags for a short weekend trip.
And why only bags, what about vehicles? Yes, though this may sound a little bit unbelievable, there are many ferries that have facilities to carry your personal vehicles, a hatchback or an SUV, to the other side of the sea.
The expenses are considerable and do vary. In case you are registering space for carrying along a small 4-seater car, the costs are lesser when compared to booking space for a light-weight truck.
Nevertheless, you always can exercise the exciting amenity of taking your vehicle on board, and driving open heartedly through the magnificent French coastline.
It is always a wise thing to book your car space in advance, in order to avoid any unnecessary hassles moments prior to start of your journey. The tickets can be easily booked on the internet with the help of a credit card.
You must remember a few more things on board of France ferries when you take your car along. Always carry the relevant documents with you that are related to your car or truck. The ownership papers, the insurance documents and most importantly, your license; all these are very essential if you want to enjoy a good drive on wheels after your brief sea voyage.

Carrying your car, your bike or anything on a ferries is quite a hassle but once you are in your destination you'll forgot soon the hassle you've been through. I can't just imagine driving your car in the coast line of France. LOl.
ReplyDeleteIt really is worth noting the differences in price between pre-booking a ferry and just turning up on spec. It is never cheaper just to turn up and can cost as much as 10 times the price. Also, sometimes the longer can be better value for money, both cheaper and more of a "cruise". You can for example get the ferry all the way from the north (Hull) to Belgium and then hop over the border to France. So instead of a long drive you get a comfortable overnight boat ride and the money you save in petrol will pay for the ferry ticket.
ReplyDeleteTaking your car with you on the ferrie is much cheaper than hiring one in France. If you'll be staying there for a long time you could consider buying a car in France and selling it when you go home again.
