Advice please.

We've always booked ferries early and would like to do the same again this year however this year I'm not sure about some of our details. I'd like to keep our return date open (I've got a "probable" in mind but if the forecast is good and the kids are content we could squeeze a few more days in). Also, we're likely to change our car before the summer.

We'll be going Dover Calais - are their flexible fare options on any of the companies that would suit or are we best curbing my natural instinct to have everything organised and book last minute (and if we did last minute could we still get peak time ferries? With little kids unsocial hours would be a nightmare).

Thanks in anticipation of useful replies!

As Arthur says, changing your car reg can be done anytime by email or phone and is not classed as an amendment so there is no charge. We have changed cars twice in the past few years after our ferry was booked and not been charged. Flexible fares are very expensive and it will probably be much cheaper to ring up and change your return ferry while in France and pay the ammendment fee. If you stick to similar times there shouldnt be any further cost. Norfolk Line has english speakers at the french end so I imagine it is the same for the other operators.
