How do I manage vehicle registration when booking or updating ferry travel?
Managing vehicle registration information for ferry travel ensures a smooth and hassle-free journey. Below are guidelines for handling various scenarios related to vehicle registration changes or updates:
Booking Without Knowing Vehicle Registration
If the vehicle registration is not yet available (e.g., for a hired car): - Option 1: Enter temporary information such as the make and model of the vehicle, along with a placeholder registration like 'TBA.' You can update the registration later. - Option 2: If the make and model are unknown, select a vehicle close in size, and update these details once they are confirmed. Please note that amendments may affect pricing and availability.
Updating Registration Before Travel
If the chosen vehicle changes after booking, provide the updated details — including the correct make, model, registration number, and dimensions — as soon as possible. This allows the ferry operator to update your booking.
Traveling With a Rental Car or Updates at the Port
For rental cars: Ensure the vehicle matches the booked dimensions. You can provide the license plate number at the ferry port during check-in or in advance by contacting the operator before your trip. - As long as the vehicle measurements align, your journey can proceed, even if the registration is provided or updated upon arrival at the port.
Key Considerations
Always verify that the vehicle dimensions are consistent with what was booked to avoid complications.
Contact the ferry operator promptly for any updates to ensure the new vehicle information is reflected accurately in your booking.
Managing vehicle registration appropriately helps avoid unexpected issues and ensures compliance with ferry operator requirements. Always confirm and update your booking details as necessary.
