Needed to get across to Ireland at short notice after a change of plans at work. Found a sailing the same week for a fair price and booked it in about ten minutes. Easy to pick the car option and add the passengers. Nothing to complain about.

Read moreI checked three other sites for a crossing to Ireland with a car and this one came out cheaper than all of them for the same sailing. The search was quick and the results were easy to read. The booking page asked for some extra details that felt a bit much, and I had to go back once because a field did not save. Once I got past that, the booking was fine and the confirmation came through promptly.

The site showed the times and fares clearly so I could pick the one that suited us. Booking took a few minutes and the paperwork came by email. A small thing, but the seat reservation cost more than I expected.
I booked a cabin for the overnight crossing to Spain and found the options laid out clearly. The price shown was the one I paid, which I appreciated. The confirmation arrived a little later than I expected, but it did arrive.
We needed to get the car across for a family wedding in France and the cheap fares on here made it doable. I know the ferry routes well after years of going to France, so I checked the sailings against the operator times and they matched. One small niggle was that the confirmation email took a little while to arrive, so I rang to check it had gone through. It had.

Booked a cabin for the overnight crossing to Spain on my phone while waiting for the bus. Took about five minutes, the seat or cabin choice was clear. The price went up a little between searching and paying which was annoying but not a dealbreaker. Got the booking email straight after, all good.
