Think of the ferry as the first part of your road trip, not just transport to get out of the way.
Map your first two days
Arriving in Dublin, Rosslare or Northern Ireland changes where you'll want to stop first. Try to avoid beginning the holiday with an unnecessarily long drive from the port.
Make the vehicle booking match reality
Car, campervan and trailer details matter, as do passenger numbers and any pets. Check the booking carefully before you set off.
Leave room for the unexpected
Disembarking isn't always instant, and it's nice to have time for a meal or a scenic detour. A flexible first afternoon makes a road trip feel like a holiday.
