Algeciras- Cueta pricing

trying to budget for a trip in May

can anyone give me an accurate guide to the ferry from Algeciras to Cueta if purchasing from Carlos?

Taking 6 landrovers with 2 people in each vehicle, and really need to work out exactly how much we will have to spend!

Have seen prices from e80 to e340 which is a huge difference. can anyone offer advice?

Thanks

Jim

Why not email Carlos? The rates he charges depends upon the deals he can get.

I bought an open date return Algeciras - Ceuta for 1 person and a landcruiser, valid for 3 months I think, from Carlos for 230 euro, two weeks ago.

I paid 75 euro for a one way ticket Algeciras-Tanger for one person and one normal car in october. Bought my ticket in an office along the highway near Malaga. It was a special ramadan fare, the lady in the office said.
