What are the fees and policies for changing vehicle details in a ferry booking?
If you have a ferry booking with AFerry and would like to change the vehicle details, it is important to understand the policies and fees. These policies depend on factors such as whether the vehicle class or dimensions are consistent and whether changes are made online or at the port.
General Policies for Changing Vehicle Details
Any changes to vehicle details, such as the registration number, make/model, or dimensions, are subject to the ferry operator's rules and may incur fees depending on the specific scenario.
Changes can typically be made online or directly at the port during check-in.
A fee may apply for Changing Details When the Vehicle Class or Dimensions Are the Same.
Adding or Altering Vehicle Registration Numbers: It is free to change the vehicle registration number or license plate if the vehicle belongs to the same class and has consistent specifications.
Modifying Vehicles Without Dimensional Changes: - When you replace the booked vehicle with another of identical dimensions, a fee may apply
Fees for Changes in Vehicle Class or Dimensions
A fee is charged when changes involve a different vehicle class or altered dimensions (e.g., length, width, height). This fee is usually higher than the standard modification fee and varies by operator.
Where Can Changes Be Made?
Online
Changes to vehicle details can be made online for convenience and may expedite processing. We recommend doing it before the travel date and time to minimise issues at the port, such as delays or refusals.
At the Port
You can also modify the vehicle details at the port during check-in.
Note, however, that changes made at the port may incur the same fees regardless of circumstances, e.g., a minimum of €120 for vehicle changes such as class or dimensions and subject to availability.
