What is classed as an SUV?

Condor Ferries defines an SUV as a Sports Utility Vehicle with 4+ seats. As an indicative but by no means definitive guide, this would typically include vehicles such as Land Rovers, Range Rovers, Mitsubishi Shoguns etc. If your Sports Utility Vehicle only has 2 seats please choose the appropriate 'standard car' dimension when necessary. Small supplements apply to SUV’s - see ‘Weight’ paragraph below.

What is classed as an MPV?

Condor Ferries defines an MPV as a ‘Multi Purpose Vehicle’ or ‘People Carrier’ with the capability to carry 6+ people. Small supplements apply to MPV’s - see ‘Weight’ paragraph below.

Vehicle Dimension Supplements

Height

Condor Ferries does not currently charge height supplements, nevertheless it is important to declare the correct height as vehicles over 1.85m (inclusive of stored items on the roof) cannot be accommodated in all parking areas on the car deck.

Length

Condor Ferries currently charges small increments in price for vehicles above 4.5 metres in length. As an example if your vehicle is 4.8 metres long, you must enter this information accurately in the "Vehicle Length" field.

Weight

Some private vehicle categories are getting heavier both by design plus their ability to carry more passengers and their effects. Accordingly, Condor Ferries currently charges a small supplement for MPVs and SUVs. Please note the maximum laden vehicle weight is 3.5 tonnes (equivalent to 2 tonnes axle weight) for the Fast Ferry services. Any vehicle exceeding this will be refused boarding.

Bicycle Racks

Condor Ferries charges a small supplement for rear bicycle racks. Bicycles stacked on the roof of vehicles/trailers are not currently charged for, but must be declared as part of the overall height of the vehicle or vehicle trailer.
