Promotion Code - Irish Ferries / Stena Line

Maybe ask IF if they'll extend it for you? If they won't ask if you can transfer it to someone else?

I'd be reluctant to offer much for it in case it was rejected.

To my knowledge, there haven't been any sales as such since the pandemic started, with either IF or Stena. In other years, you might get reductions of up to 30% for summer sailings purchased in January.

I think you can forget this for Stena, most of the summer sailings, to France at least, are almost full already (cabin wise at least - from trying to book).

If you anyone with an AXA insurance policy you can get 10% off.

I haven't seen any codes for a long time either. Both IF and Stena are doing about 25% off if you are booking a short trip (under 5 days) and Stena are doing reduced foot passenger day trips, but that's about it. Even Tesco clubcard vouchers are worth less now than last year. I'm not sure I'd hope for any codes materialising until 2023.

A family member with AXA and have the discount but they are not traveling. Only concern is the T&Cs they might.

• As part of the Terms & Conditions of this offer which has been specially arranged for AXA Plus customers, it is advisable to have your AXA Plus membership card or documentary proof with you as evidence that the driver or passenger in the car are an AXA policy holder Failure to do so will result in excess charges being raised at the port of departure

Yeah I was thinking the same, I can't see any infomation on excess fees on the website that they would change. No issues if they just charge the 50 quid discount. I have the card and can take it with use. The child traveling is the same namer as the policy holder!

BTW anyone who knows an Irish Farmers Association member can get 15% discount if they give you the membership number.

Fares seem very high for this time of year. I was looking at taking the car over before Christmas but it seems like it's cheaper and possibly quicker to fly and car hire.

Fares are high irrespective of time of year unfortunately but it tally's with their results.

Revenues in its Irish Ferries division came to €338m, a 133.9% increase on the previous year and an 83.4% increase on 2019.

Don't waste your time emailing IF they take months to reply. I was owed a refund and they took 2 months to get back to me by email.

Anyway...sorry. rant over. Discount codes at all?

Discount codes at the moment are rarer than rocking horse crap

There are a few 'workaround' that will save you money

We went to visit family in Wales last week, 4 night trip with a car on Stena, i paid 267Euro for myself and our 18month old to go on the car

Wife and 6yr old were booked on same ferry as a 'Duty Free day trip' at a cost of 16 for her, 8 for little one, they just didnt use the return leg of the same day, save maybe 80euro

Now that 267 Euro was a short stay special, under 5 nights, they dont seem to be doing them after January

My eldest daughter is expecting her first child in March, i've priced up a 3 night trip, midweek, M-F , 2 adults, a 6yr old, a toddler and car and it's coming in at 520Euro, complete mad money, i've never EVER known it this expensive

Out of curiosity , when you booked in your wife and child as a duty free day shopper , did they stay in the car witb you when you checked in or did they have to check themselves into the terminal.

We were over last week 2 of us in the car with stena 500 euro return , with hotel for 4 nights. Hotel on its own would have cost 200. Ferries on their own were around 370 both daytime .

I remember years ago i was able to get day returns for the car and driver for 175. But was able to adjust the days out so i could travel out friday night and back sunday night
