Comments:
Ferrysavers was furthest away from our preffered crossing times of 07h00 0ut and 17h00 back, but did give the largest number of alternative crossings to consider.
Useful when finding the most suitable cheap fare.
Ferry.co.uk is the bucket shop arm of all crossings are on s. Many still ask you for your car make and model only to provide drop down menus without the latest models such as the Citroen C3 although sites such as Ferrysavers did offer now offer the C3.
