Frequently asked questions about changing your booking:

Can I change my booking to an open ticket if I don't know my new travel date?
Unless it is stated in their terms and conditions, ferry operators will not allow a booking to be converted to an open ticket. If you don't know your new travel date you can change your booking to a provisional future date and then change it again when your travel plans are finalised. Please note that any applicable amendment fees or fare increases will still apply if you change your booking to a provisional future date.
Why does my amendment not show on my booking confirmation?
Your booking confirmation will not show any amendments if you changed your booking by speaking with an AFerry or Ferrysavers agent. The booking confirmation will only show amendments if the change was made via My Account or Manage my Booking. You can request an updated booking confirmation from an agent.
Why does my amendment not show on the AFerry app?
If you have changed your booking by speaking with an AFerry or Ferrysavers agent then the AFerry app will not show the amendment. Amendments will show on the AFerry app if you have changed your booking via My Account or Manage my Booking.
What should I do if there's an error message when I use 'Change Names and Vehicle Registration'?
If there's an error message when you use 'Change Names and Vehicle Registration' you should either try the 'Change Booking Details' option or contact us and click 'Talk to a person 👤' to connect with an agent.
