Checked: 6 October 2026
This is the lowest entry fare for taking a car to Ireland with Irish Ferries. It answers the main question most people have, what does the ferry to Ireland cost with the car, with a straightforward number. The catch is the timing: the price is based on off-peak night crossings in the middle of the week.
In a nutshell
- Price: from £154 one way for a car and driver
- Sailings: night sailings on Tuesday and Wednesday, off-peak
- Routes: Holyhead to Dublin and Pembroke to Rosslare

Our tip
Treat £154 as a starting point, not a promise. Busy dates, extra passengers or a different departure time push the fare up quickly. If you can, search a Tuesday and a Wednesday night and compare both directions.
Our verdict
Useful if your dates are flexible, less so for a family on a fixed weekend. Compare the routes and operators in our guide to ferries from the UK to Ireland.
