Just been quoted 100 Euros for an open return to Tangier Med, Rider & bike via Carlos. Seems reasonable to me.

Which port in Spain would you guys recommend in the context of price, speed and ease of entry into Morocco.
Tarifa or Algeceris?
Am I correct in thinking that the crossing from Tarifa doesn't go to Tangier Med? If so that could be the decider.
Thanks.

Answering my own question ![Innocent](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/innocent.gif)
Just did a quick online price comparison and it looks like Alegeceris is way cheaper.

And also by far the busiest. It is huge.
Turn up there any time and there's a ferry leaving shortly.

Just back, used FRS from Algeciras - Tangier Med, €170 open return, 1 person and a vehicle, though it went via Gibraltar. ![Thumbdown](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/thumbdown.gif) Nice but could of done without the 3hr crossing.
Balearia went from €175 (April) to €256. I normally try a couple of places on the way down the AP4 toll road just south of Sevilla, portacabin in a service area, first is AML and there's a Balearia cabin further down the A381.
Failing that the trusted Carlos, who also prints out a D16, a cake and a ok bottle of Rio Tinto.

Lordy, 200 euro open moto return on AML this morning.
Normally pay < half that, but it was now or 6 hours later.
That’s what you get for winging it...

Balearia portacabin on the way down to Algeciras €195 open return for 1 per and vehicle. But ferries at 1000, 1600 and 2200.
Checked in the port, prices up around €300 and Carlos still €170 with FRS.
I'll stick buying tickets from him in the future, at least they're reliable IMHO.
Safe travels.

We're crossing Dec 21 with two vehicles eight passengers, one way
aferry says €250 carlos says €270 - per vehicle
isn't that expensive ?
even for xmas?
or is it the going price these days.
I think the most I ever paid was €170, one way ticket, with five in the Land Cruiser.
Trying to book with Intershipping on their website
I get quoted 1 vehicle w 8 pass €325
with 2 vehicles 8 pass €365
but cant get through their booking system, yet.
Yes I know Tim Cullis says to stay clear of Intershipping but they appear to be 200 euros cheaper at the moment
(finally I called them and the price given through their online booking is incorrect)
Is there any reason to think that it would be cheaper at the last minute?
Has it ever happened that all ferries were sold out?
Going straight to the ferry lines,
Best deal is Algeciras-Ceuta for €223 on Balearia's and Trasmediterranea's website that may be as good as it gets then
Vehicle is 76 each passenger 33.
Aferry is €30 more. Tanger Med is €100 more. Per vehicle.
Edit: in the end, got tickets from Carlos to Ceuta 200 UKP per vehicle + four passengers.
Happy with that, but border crossing takes hours in Ceuta. Tanger Med they can be very strict with documents.
Easiest crossing now may be Tarifa - Tanger Ville, only 20-25 vehicles so quick and you may not even have to get out of the car.

Algeciras-Tanger Med
Crossed last week.
Got to port early and went to main ticket offices.Was quoted E325,E375 and E377 at Transmed plus 2 indepentents for return for 2 people plus Qashqai.Is this an early morning scam?
Went back to Viajes Normandie(Carlos) and got the same on Balereas for E200 plus the usual bottle of wine and cake. Happy days.
