How Do I Pay Change Fees for My Booking, and Why Might the Price Vary?
When you need to amend your ferry booking on AFerry, you may encounter change fees or additional charges. This guide covers the payment methods, steps for completing the payment, and why the price of a booking change might differ from a new booking.
Overview of Payment Methods
When paying for changes to your booking, AFerry supports the following common payment methods:
PayPal
Debit or credit card
Apple Pay and iDeal are generally not supported. However, if an option for Apple Pay or iDeal appears under the debit/credit card section, you can use it. Always check the available payment options at the time of completing your transaction.
Steps for Paying Change Fees
To successfully process payments for your booking amendments, follow these steps:
Log in to your account: Navigate to the payment link provided in your booking confirmation email or visit your account on the AFerry platform. - If using the direct link, ensure you have your booking reference number and the email address linked to your booking.
Follow on-screen instructions: Carefully review and proceed with the payment as directed.
Complete payment before the deadline: Ensure the payment is submitted before the specified deadline to secure the quoted price and booking availability. Refer to your confirmation email for the exact time frame.
Confirm with support: Once payment is made, it is advisable to notify the support team to finalize your booking amendment.
Why Might the Price for a Booking Change Be Higher?
It’s not uncommon to find that making amendments to an existing booking costs more than creating a new one. This pricing disparity occurs due to dynamic pricing mechanisms employed by ferry operators. Prices are updated in real time based on supply and demand, and AFerry has no control over these changes. Understanding the dynamic nature of pricing helps set expectations when modifying bookings. Acting quickly and being flexible with travel dates can sometimes help secure better rates.
