The price shown above is the lowest recent one for an adult without a vehicle. With a car, you pay according to its type and dimensions; enter the make and model when you search.

Algiers to Valencia ferry with a car
Coming back from Algeria with your car is the usual thing on this route. To take it on board:
- Bring the carte grise printed, with nothing crossed out and no provisional plate.
- If the driver is not the owner: an original written authorisation signed by both and stamped by a notary, town hall or public body, and a copy of the ID card or passport of both.
- Passport and driving licence.
The car must leave with the person who imported it. Between 15 June and 15 September, Algeria has prevented new cars or cars under three years old, vans and goods vehicles from boarding in Algiers: check whether this affects you.
Returning from Algeria to Valencia with a dog
Baleà ria allows travel with a dog: up to 10 kg in a carrier in the lounges, a pet-friendly cabin (maximum two animals) and a kennel on some ships. Add it when you book.
To enter Spain the dog must meet EU requirements. Check the exact requirements from Algeria with an official vet well in advance. More information in travelling by ferry with a dog.
Ports of Algiers and Valencia
How to get to the port of Algiers
The port of Algiers is in the centre of the capital, by the bay. The airport is about 20 km away; Blida, about 50 km; Tizi Ouzou, about 100 km; and Constantine, about 380 km. If you are travelling from the west of the country, also look at sailing from Oran or Mostaganem: Oran to Valencia ferry or Mostaganem to Valencia ferry.
Baleà ria publishes the opening hours of the Algiers port area; check them and arrive with time to spare, especially with a car.
Arriving in Valencia: how to continue your trip
The ship arrives at the passenger terminal of the port of Valencia, which is separate from the city centre: you get there by bus or taxi. With a car, you head for the A-7 or AP-7 motorway, which connect with Alicante, Murcia, Barcelona and Madrid. As it is a port in the Schengen area, there is a document check on disembarkation.
