Taking your adventure to another island?
Let’s help you understand your options before you board. Vehicle and battery rules vary by operator and vessel, and rental permission must be confirmed in writing.
A quick check makes the crossing easier
Vehicle, battery, rental and insurance rules vary by ferry operator, vessel and provider. Confirm the current policy with both the operator and rental company before booking. Examples below explain the process, not a specific company policy.

OPEN BRING VS RENT COMPARISONBring it or rent there?
Best when continuity matters
Bringing a vehicle can simplify luggage and multi-stop mainland travel, but it adds a vehicle ticket, earlier port arrival and provider-policy checks.
- One vehicle for a longer itinerary
- Easier with substantial luggage or equipment
- Check written rental permission, insurance terms and the exact ferry policy
Best when flexibility matters
Traveling as a foot passenger can reduce boarding complexity and lets you choose a mobility option suited to each island. Availability and opening hours still need confirmation.
- Simpler passenger boarding
- Right-size the ride for each destination
- Reserve ahead and verify port pickup or transfer arrangements
The Anatomy of Boarding
Confirm permission before paying
Ask the rental provider in writing, review insurance and cross-water terms, then confirm the specific operator and sailing accepts your vehicle or battery type.
Book the correct people and vehicle
Passenger and vehicle reservations are separate booking details. Enter the exact vehicle category and dimensions requested by the operator.
Follow the operator's arrival time
Vehicle check-in is earlier than foot-passenger boarding. Join the signed vehicle queue and keep tickets, identity and vehicle documents ready.
Board only on crew instruction
The driver may be directed separately from passengers. Follow crew signals, park where instructed, secure the vehicle and take valuables with you.
Return when the crew announces arrival
Note your deck and stairwell. Re-enter the vehicle deck only when permitted, and start or move the vehicle only when instructed.
