Hi All

I checked our booking today with P&O as we have changed our caravan since we booked last October.

We travel in August from Hull - Zeebrugge and an increase from 6.29 to 7.23 metres cost an extra £54.

I was told that they checking over height and over length vehicles, and I would have had to pay on check in.

I paid up rather than risk it, has anyone travelled recently and got away with it?

Cheers

When we were getting on ferry couple of weeks ago (portsmouth to cherbough) they searched us, well looked in the boot and that, we had a trailer tent then, so car was chocka, god knows if they thought we had someone hiding in the boot?!

We need to change our next ferry booking as just got a caravan, but only cost £10 for each change, hope its not more?

You best not to risk it, would be embarassing?

C'mon guys this is the age of the computer. When you say what model of van you have, they automatically have the height and length, or at least the more professional ones will have. The iffy bits are the bolt ons like bike racks on the back or on the roof. Most of the check in booths have photocell sensors for height, and it can be a bit embarrassing if that starts squwking.
