I'm planning a one way trip from either Ceuta or Tanger to Spain. Does anyone know of a 'Carlos' on the Morocco side? Landy with 4x4 trailer and 2 people.

Thanks

Ferry Ticket

I turned up at Tan Med in February and bought a 1 way ticket at the Port Gate for E145 for Landy and 2 pax. Very straight forward. Few touts but ignore them anyway as Ferry Operator ticket windows are well signposted.

Algeciras/Tangier Med ticket prices?

I'll be crossing from Algeciras to Tangier Med soon and would like information on ticket prices and where best to buy. Planning to cross next Wednesday 6th April, one rider and bike only one way.
How much should I expect to pay? Is it best to buy from one of the ticket shops on the main roads or from the official office at the port? Is Carlos still selling cheap tickets?

Check prices online before looking at other sources. Go to aferry.to and stick in Algeciras to Tanger Med, it will come back with all the companies and routes.

Cheapest is normally Aciona/Trasmediterranea on the Algeciras/Tanger Med route and indeed at the moment it's coming up with €68.90 for outbound next week, open return. That's an incredibly low price!

FRS is also a good company, don't use InterShipping.

Thanks Tim, that's a good price for a return.
I'm reluctant to book in advance as I'm relying on the Portsmouth Bilbao ferry leaving/arriving on time and then travelling to the port in one day which is why I'm planning to buy a ticket on arrival.
I think there's a recent post here about a ferry departure time changing.

Russ from Yorkshire 4x4 posted that his Saturday morning ferry sailing was brought forward due to the storms over the weekend.

I suspect that this was due to the boat being Brittanies Economy service as well as the storm. The economy service is a much smaller boat than the Pont Aven.

I did read that post and that's why I'm reluctant to buy a ticket in advance.

First of, hello to everyone, I'm new here in this community.

I took the ferry from Algeciras to Tanger Med last Saturday and bought the ticket 1h before take off directly in Algeciras port (at Estacion Maritima). Trasmediterranean was the cheapest for me with 48eur for one way ticket for 1 bike + rider (Its 43 + 5 tax).
No complications, worked quick and fine.

I'm in Morocco now (marrakech currently), so if anybody wants to meet somewhere in this area I'll be happy! Heading to Essaouira tomorrow...

Last Sunday, 180 euro for open return Algeciras-Tanger Med with Acciona, 4x4 with 2pax from Carlos.

Happy trails,

Peter

Wandering along the front at Algeciras opposite the port I enquired in one of the many ticket offices about a crossing tomorrow(Wednesday)...50Euros one way for a bike and rider.
I´ll return tomorrow morning and ask at a few more before buying a ticket.

It's always cheaper to book a return than two one-way tickets.

I've just checked on the aferry.to website and the cheapest online ticket remains the Aciona/Trasmediterranea at €68.90 return, or €48.00 one-way.

This price is also confirmed at http://www.trasmediterranea.es/en

So you should be able to get this price from the Trasmediterranea ticket office at Algerciras port. In November there were two offices at the port, one was closed but the left-most one further along was open.
