Avoid disturbances: turn off your car alarm on the ferry

As the ferry departs, you receive a call: “Good afternoon, your car alarm has gone off, and movement has been detected.” You can hear several alarms sounding from the car deck โ€“ and yours is one of them…

A car alarm going off on the ferry can be annoying, not just for you but for other passengers. Sometimes, these alarms even continue through the night.

Luckily, thereโ€™s a simple solution: switch off your car alarmย before boarding. Find out how to disable your car alarm before boarding the ferry.

Most cars have a special setting or steps to disable the alarm during the crossing temporarily. Often, only the motion sensors are deactivated, while the internal alarm stays active.

Check your carโ€™s manual or ask your dealer how to do this for your car. If you find the solution, feel free to share it in the comments so others can benefit, too!

Given the number of car alarms you hear on a typical ferry, this article is definitely worth sharing with anyone planning a crossing!
