Planning a Euro trip and considering coming back via ferry out of Bilbao, San Sebastian or Santander.

Worried that clearance on our cars will make it difficult to get on/off the ferry.

Does anybody know answer to this?

Thanks in advance!

Should be no problem, we've done that route with a number of low cars including Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche/McLaren etc.

They'll automatically put you in a separate queue to the other vehicles, you'll be last on so you are on the "ground level" so no ramps in the ferry, also means you'll be first off before any queues for customs.

The ramps on and off are very wide, you may need an angle of attack but there's plenty of space for this.

I was on the Bilbao ferry on a 355 a few years ago and no problem. There was also a Sagaris there

Of the 3, which port was it?
