What I'm saying is that Nutt prices your crossing based on the price for a motorhome/minibus.
Then your in the lap of the gods and if the guy at the ferry check in notices that you've paid for a motorhome/minibus and your traveling in a van you'll get hit for a surcharge.

But my question is why do the ferry compnaies not let you book directly with them at the same prices that Nutt charges?
Norse Merchant told me that it's because Billy sends them lots of people so they allow him a price reduction he then pitches at a price which is cheaper than the normal ferry price but which is still high enough to make him a profit but those people would still travel regardless if they could book direct.

Why do the ferry companies insist that they can't take a booking driectly at the Nutt price ? They have nothing to lose and ecerything to gain.

Take it from me someone in all this nasty little game is making a lot of money and it's the ordinary punter who doesn't know better thats paying for it all.
Book with Nutt and the ferry companies AND Nutt make a profit. Book directly with the ferry company and they rip you off.

It's like a cartel and if I'm right it's against the law.
