Full comparison: flight vs. ferry
All major costs at a glance — flight incl. airport access, parking and hire car vs. ferry with your own car. Ferry fares based on off-peak starting prices (Barcelona from approx. €189 car + 2 people).
Not live prices
Fares change daily. Booking 60–90 days ahead can save ~30%; peak season often 40–60% more. Always check airline, ferry operator and rental company.
Ferry only — e.g. 600–1,500 km to Barcelona, Valencia or Toulon.
Flight only — often 30–150 km to your departure airport, not the ferry port.
Toulon (France): shorter crossing, usually Apr–Oct — plus 400–600 km drive.

Car+people package per route, pet, fuel to port — no hire car needed.
Rule of thumb: with your car and 2+ people, ferry is often cheaper than flight + hire car — especially off-peak with early booking. Flying can win for solo travellers with a small dog and short rental.
