Reservations are recommended but not required. Non-refundable deposits of $10.00 for private vehicles, $5.00 for walk-on passengers and $25.00 for commercial vehicles are required for each reservation. Deposits will be credited upon check in at the departing terminal provided tickets purchased are for the date and time of the reservation. Persons who travel outside their reserved date and time will forfeit the deposit. Exceptions will only be made in the event of road closures or significant vessel delays. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express in Canadian currency.
When booking reservations please note that the availability shown is "lane length", not the number of vehicle spaces. This is to allow for a more accurate tracking of vehicle space occupied and remaining. i.e., If you have a vehicle that is 40 ft long and the availability shows 20 the vehicle cannot be booked. Also, please note that you have to choose the height for a regular passenger vehicle - Low or High (Over 2.4 meters/7ft 8in). If you arrive at the terminal and the vehicle is not as booked, the reservation will be null and void.
Please be advised that double booking is prohibited. We will monitor departures and any found will result in latest bookings being cancelled without notice, the deposit is forfeited.
