Wanted:P&O ferry codes......

For a sailing from Hull to Zebrugge,on a return journey,with a VAN and TRAILER.

I have put other codes into the booking site,but it doesn't like the idea of a van towing a trailer,and refers it back to a car only.

2 friends and I,are off to the Nurburgring,to,how shall I say,indulge in a little leisurely motoring,and fancy the overnight from Hull,so as we can get trollied,er,enjoy the onboard entertainment,and have a short journey into Germany the following day.

Ken.

    Hi Ken i rang for a quote the other day too, same thing with trailer, A Fortune, look on Google there is someone advertising sheaper ferry fares and sailing with P&O.

    P&O wont budge on price.

    Hope you enjoy the Nurburgring, we are off to Spa

    Thanks guys.

    Unfortunately,it won't accept either code,saying the first one isn't applicable to a van and trailer,and the second one has to be less than 21 characters.

    Anyone else?

    Ken.

    The RM code definitely works. There is actually 4 different codes listed above. That's why you've got too many characters. Try each of the 4 codes separately and see how you get on. Just checking prices and the RM code brought the fares down from £150 to £126.

    Yes indeed the RM one works,but believe it or not,the cost with the van,is £720,but if I change it to a car,it comes down to £417.

    I did the same booking,using Quidco,using Cheap 4 Ferries,and got it down to £376,with 4% off that price,on a car and trailer.That works out at £361.

    Interesting.

    they normally beat P&O

    If you are an AA member then there is a code if you go through their website. I've had a quick look and it seems to accept vans with trailers - don't quote me on it, have a look :D

    Sadly not an AA member,as I think they're too expensive on just about everything motoring,so I won't even give them the courtesy of my business.

    Go here
    http://www.poferries.com/tourist/index.html?promotion=AAOFFERS

    or type
    AAOFFERS into the "Promotional Discount" Box.

    You don't have to be a member. I just tried it and it works.

    Alternatively, if you have a Royalties Gold account with the Royal Bank of Scotland, ring their number (use saynoto0870) and get 10% off your ferry booking.

    I know you don't need to be an AA member to use the code but I didn't want to get in trouble for saying that :o

    The code I use is AAMEMBERSSP it seems to work for vans and trailers not sure how the price compares though?
