Cheapest Ferry to Tunisia for a 4x4

Howdy folks

For future info

Have just scored a ferry crossing from Rome to Tunisia for €340 - includes 1 passenger, 1 Landcruiser (AKA - a van - upto 6M in length) and a bed.

From these boyz:
Grimaldi Lines.

Had been getting quoted anything from €1100 to €600 from various operators and from various ports. Some operators penalised 4x4's and longer/larger vehicles more than others. Some sites were in Italian only and were difficult to navigate.

Grimaldi came up trumps in this instance.

Cheers

Niallo

Jammy b@@ger! I did the Genoa to Tunis trip in March 2007 with a Landcruiser 80 series and paid GBP 340 with no bed.

Well done!

Mark

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
