Ferry prices to Algecerias - Ceuta prebook or turn up?
Can anyone remember if the prices are about the same if you just turn up, has anyone had problems with ferries not being able to fit motorbikes on?
Prebooking I've got a 107 (or 117?) euro price return for 1 person on a motorbike.

I've always just showed up & never had a prob. Whatever you end up doing, do consider the crossing Tarfia - Tanger. I found the overall experience to be a lot more user friendly!

I never much enjoyed coming into Tanger, so I am trying Ceuta next week.
Should be an advantage landing on european soil, and then make the actual border crossing a little later. At least that is what I am thinking - next week I'll know.
Anyway, there's like 15 crossings a day between Algeciras and Ceuta, plus the alternatives, so why worry about a reservation.

Just passed through there two days ago. Cost was 112 euro for 2 pax and a big 4wd. Cheaper for person and bike.
Turn up at the terminal, dont listen to the hawkers trying to wave you down at the entrance selling tickets. Go directly to the ticket offices (marked 'Billetes'). I used euroferry's was a fast hydrofoil took about 35mins to get to cueta.
Good luck at the morrocco border down the road though!
cheers.

Crossed on 19th Dec from Algeceiras to Ceuta. . 1 bike, 1 person, 1 way with fast catamaran was euro43. Purchased at ticket office at port. No touts in sight. Easy. Why should it be otherwise?
