When you book a car with Indigo Car Hire we can allow you to take your car on a ferry. This class’s majority of the time as going abroad thereforeyou will have to pay an additional fee for travel and are usually restricted by rules and regulations. We have some fantastic deals regarding this however, but as far as taking your car on a ferry goes this is completely possible all you have to do is notify us that you are travelling abroad before you pick up your rental car.

The Confusion

People often ask us this question, “The ferry service asks me to supply my number plate, what’s my registration?” as of course you have to book your ferry before you pick up your hired car. This issue that surfaces with this is we can’t guarantee models of cars simply because there are so many people that hire that it’s impossible to do so, as we can’t do this we thereforecan’t give you the registration before the rental. What most people don’t know is that although they ask for the reg you don’t need it, all you need to say is that you are in a hired vehicle at the time and it’s no longer required.
