    Although the voucher used to state there was a reduction in the normal 'car rate' by booking through Landround Travel, I think it still is fairly expensive, and you might get the whole "car, 5 people, 5 nights" cheaper else where.

    Unless you want to travel out of Dublin, it would be cheaper to leave your car in the secure parking in Holyhead for the time you're away. There is a shuttle bus from this car part to ferry terminal, but for the last 12 months or so, you have to pay to park (not sure of cost) it used to be free.

    ah, just what I needed - a free trip there, I can pick up a crate or two and bring it back! Great offer!

    Any ideas on restrictions on what you bring back?

    £5 a day or £10 for the week. Not too bad and it is secure and staffed.

  • My voucher arrived this morning, that'll save us some money when we go to Dublin in September!

    It may be secure but last time we used it it certainly was not staffed and I could not get car out. Had to walk all the way back to railway station for customer services where I had to listen to Stenna blaming Irish ferries and vice versa.

    It's always been staffed when we've used it.
