Thought the title would get some attention. Im looking at getting a car from the uk and was just wondering which ferry companys operate the seas. so far its irish ferries,but theyr nice and exspensive.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Sten Line also operate several services. Where are you buying, and where have you to bring it back to?

Theres also Norfolkline or something along them lines.

Looks like it will be in and around yorkshire. Ill be bringing back another citroen ax or pug 106 gti. so far the one way ticket is around 110.

sorry to jump on the your thread - is there some1 you can pay to go and collect a car for u and drive it back?

@Smithers, yes there are people you can pay. Don't know any company names. but my dad paid a guy 350. That was collection in London and dropped to door in Laois

cheers, thats not a nad auld price, considering taking a day off work - food, petrol, flight , ferries and i suppose the throught of less hassel

350 isn't much at all.

Ferry, flights, fuel, local transport, etc would easily cost the guts of €250.

I regularly go over to London, combining a trip I was taking anyway and that would just about make it worthwhile.

http://www.norsemerchant.com/index.asp are approx €90 one way (€120 July/August) Liverpool-Dublin. It's an 8 hour crossing though.

I brought a car back last year and I think it was about 140 all in,passenger over and car back. Only took an hour too from Dublin port. Very pleasant it was.

Assuming you want to travel through Dublin.

shouldv made it clearer,yes dub would be prefarable-but not a neccessity. wexford could work too-if the saving outweighed the extra fuel cost.
John r -cheers,ill check them out. It seems to be the avg figure of between 100-150 depending.
