winnie8art Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Does anyone know of anywhere in Roscoff where a car can be permanently parked so crossings to our holiday home can be made by foot passenger, collecting the car on arrival and parking when we leave?

Markradland Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I leave a car just outside the ferry terminal all summer. It is, of course, properly taxed and insured; unlike many others parked there. When I first bought my house and wanted to travel about fifteen times a year as a foot passenger I E-mailed Brittany Ferries and asked if it was OK, and they said it was. I have not had a problem in six years.RegardsMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie8art Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Thanks for this Mark. Is there a special car park you use? The zig zag one outside the terminal doors is always full it seems! Any problems with flat batteries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markradland Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I park as close to the terminal as possible. Flat batteries have not been a problem but I keep a booster battery in the boot, just in case.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie8art Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks. How long is your car often left unstarted? What would you recommend when chosing a suitable car? Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markradland Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I leave the car for about a fortnight at a time, although it has been longer. As for recommendation; that would be more difficult. I use Greeen Flag as a European breakdown cover and therefore make sure that my car is less than ten years old. Personally I like popular estates; cheap to run and repair, as well as able to carry goods.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
