Vans - Do I need to travel as freight?
With Transmanche Ferries, all private-use vans exceeding 7.5m in length must be booked as freight. If commercial goods are being carried you must book as freight, regardless of the length. If your van is under 7.5m in length and you are not carrying commercial goods, please visit our passenger website's Transmanche Ferries page
