I think I have read on here before that on ferries to France the Bongo is classed as a car.
On speaking to The Camping and Caravanning Club,they are telling me that if the Bongo is registered as, a Camper van on the log book it has to be booked as such on the Ferry, therefore costing more.
Has anyone had experience of this, or can advise?

Re: Ferry booking
Marion, it all depends on the ferry company. Some charge by log book definition, others charge by vehicle dimensions, others have a flat fee but charge per occupant.

Being a Tin-top I have always booked and travelled as a car. There are wider and taller SUV's around these days

Re: Ferry booking
I have now booked my Ferry crossing,used Camping and Caravanning Club as they offer a discount for members.
My advice if going via them is to research what the cost would be with the carrier first.
The Club initially overcharged me by £80+,I did query the charge and was told the Bongo comes into a larger size group, which I accepted, but on looking into it found out this was absolute nonsense.
They did eventually refund the overcharge, but my overall impression is that their staff don’t seem to know what they are doing.
Be warned.
