Hi all. I was wondering if anyone had any info on Irish ferries with respect to length limits.

I tried to get a quote for a 6.1 metre van but the website only seems to accept vans up to 6M.  .

Has anyone travelled across to Ireland with a larger van than 6M and what sort of money did you pay for the crossing ?

Also does anyone know if a passport is required to enter Ireland ? I will probably be landing in Southern Ireland and travelling to Northern Ireland.

Thanks

Thanks Tinker

I tried a few discount booking places, both stenna and Irish ferries are coming back at about £140 one way, but they are only going up to 2.5M in height, so no good for me either.

My passport expired a few years back and I didn't bother renewing it as we don't go abroad any more, or should say didn't go abroad. That may soon change if I get the van

nig.xl,

As a regular ferry crosser to Ireland by both car and motorhome, i would suggest that you try "Allsportslogistics" on 01873 859500.

I have been using them for years and they have not let me down on price yet.

Last time we went to Eire, I booked for the motorhome which was 6.1 metres. On St Patrick's Day, Irish Ferries did a half price thingy so it was £170 return, Holyhead to Dublin.

Then before we went, I sold the motorhome and bought a folding camper, which I towed with a Shogun - total length over 7.5 metres. They didn't charge me any extra for changing it.

Thanks to both of you, I hadn't heard of allsport logistics, I'll give them a try tomorrow.

Caz that's a cracking deal you had there

if you are only 6.1  then go as 6m They will not check

If it is obvious that yo are over then that is another matter, but 1cm

They usually charge more for over height issues, hopes this helps
