Mobile and smartphones work all over the countries. It makes sense to buy a local SIM card. Almost all campsites, fast food restaurants, etc. offer their customers free Wi-Fi.

Calculation of shipping costs, if you are not travelling as a passenger

Similar to ferries, the shipping costs are calculated according to the length of the vehicle. The calculation is performed on the centimeter for the benefit of the customer.

The freight rate is currently € 460,00 per meter of the vehicle’s length. Each centimeter counts.

However, smaller vehicles are subjected to a lower unit price.
