Bringing your car on board the ferry couldn’t be easier when getting the Ferry from Hull to Rotterdam. Simply follow the signs at the port and you will be handed a card to hang from your rear view mirror when you check-in, then follow the directions that you are given to get in the correct lane for your ship.

When it is time for you to drive onto the ferry you will be directed by our friendly staff until you reach your parking space.

PLEASE NOTE: Don’t forget to turn off your car alarm once you’ve parked, as this could be activated by the movement of the ship and cause noise disturbance during the journey.

As you exit the car deck don’t forget to make a note of where you have left your car by keeping an eye out for which coloured staircase you are nearest to. You will then be free to find your cabin and enjoy all of the great entertainment [link] and facilities that we offer on board.

Disembarking at the end of your crossing is just as easy as when you got on. You will be told when to return to your car and can then you can simply walk back to where you left your vehicle. Once you have driven off the ship you will be directed to passport control and then it’s time to start your Netherlands adventure!
