Teile deine Gedanken & Erfahrungen mit uns!
Dear Ferries Team,
I would like to book a passage from either Cádiz or Huelva to Santa Cruz de la Palma with a cabin as soon as possible (I’m currently staying at Utrera/Sevilla).
However, I cannot make a booking for my Fiat Ducato Camper Van with a height of 2.56m because the maximum height of vehicles offered is as 2 m. WHY ?
Because if I select ‘Caravan’ instead of ‘Camper’, the factual height of such a vehicle can be entered without a problem.
So if I don’t want to add a fictive 3-7 m in length for a caravan I don’t have, what can I do ?
Thanking you in advance for your help, I remain
yours sincerely
Rosa Schlatter
Hi Rosa,
Thank you very much for the tip. This was an error that has now been corrected.
You can now select “Motorhome” for vehicles and then also select a height of up to 3 metres.
