As a rule us chaps don t read instructions and to be fair most of us get away with it 95 of the time.
Roof box height ferry.
We just returned on friday and when we booked it was without a roof box and we then bought one which nudged the height just over the 6ft mark by an inch or so.
What will the total height be when the roof box has been fitted to the car if its over 1 83m then the cost of the ferry will increase by 60 00 don t forget to leave a review of the french and other european campsites you have visited.
If it was the height one i d pay.
Anyone out there got any experiences.
If you re fitting a roof rack to your car it s extremely important to read all the instructions fully before you take a single bolt out of the box.
I have just purchased a roof box to go on my volvo and now i am not sure if it will fit on the ferry.
Please make sure that you specify the correct dimensions of your vehicle using the dropdown fields when making your booking.
They will help you get the job done more quickly easily and safely in the long run.
The vehicles size is the true maximum length and height including any tow bars overhanging items and roof loads e g.
I think most ferry companies take height to be from ground to the top of your car including roof box.
This figure will should be on the ferries website.
When booking it is essential that you declare the correct height of your vehicle including any roof load as vehicles over 1 85m in height cannot fit in all areas of our vessels vehicle decks.
Supplements apply to cars mpv s 4x4 s over 5m long and 1 83m high and motorhomes mini buses and vans over 5m long and 2 6m high.
Anything higher then you will be put in with the lorries and have to pay extra.
As a general rule i would take the height of an mpv people carrier as close to the height limit.
