Oran to Valencia Ferry: Baleà ria, Car and Documents
With Balearia · from 19 h 30 min
To get from Oran to Valencia by ferry, the ferry company is Baleà ria. It sails from the port of Oran and arrives in Valencia after one night at sea, with a more or less weekly departure.
The ship carries seats, cabins and cars. If you travel with a car from Algeria, the fuel tax charged by the Algerian State is included in the Baleà ria ticket.
If you have an Algerian passport or dual nationality, you need a return ticket and, to enter Spain, a Schengen visa or a valid EU residence permit. Baleà ria checks this before boarding.
From Oran there is also a ferry to Alicante (seasonal) and from Mostaganem and Algiers to Valencia. Use the search if your date has no departure.

Who runs the Oran Valencia ferry
It is run by Baleà ria, which replaces former ferry companies on the route and offers seats, cabins and a car deck. It is the only option from Spain to Algeria that we sell: GNV has no route to Algeria from Spanish ports. Baleà ria has its own rules for Algeria: stricter changes, fuel tax included and different port access hours in winter and in summer.
Oran to Valencia ferry price
The price above is the lowest recent fare for an adult in a seat. Your price depends on the accommodation (seat or cabin), the car, the date and whether you buy a return ticket. Baleà ria requires a return ticket to travel to Algeria.
If you book in dinars, payment of any later penalty can only be made in dinars.
Children, minors and discounts
Minors have their own fare; enter the age when you search. National resident and large family discounts do not apply on an international route. An Algerian minor needs parental authorisation and must leave with an Algerian passport; all need their own passport.
Oran to Valencia ferry with a car
It is a route designed for travelling with a car. Enter the type, make and model when you search.
What they ask for to board the car in Oran
- Carte grise in your name, valid and not struck through; no provisional plate.
- Original written authorisation, signed by the owner and the person carrying it and stamped by a notary, town hall or public body, if the car is not yours, with a copy of both identity documents.
- Insurance and driving licence.
- With more than three items per passenger or with goods: an export DUA is recommended.
In summer, the Algerian Ministry of Transport has banned boarding in Oran export cars that are new or less than three years old and vans or vehicles with more than seven seats for goods. Confirm the restriction for your date.
Fuel tax
On leaving Algeria, the TCC is set by the Algerian State and Baleà ria includes it in the ticket.
If you are exporting a car from Spain
Exporting cars from Spain to Algeria has a separate procedure (DAE document sent to Baleà ria before departure). It is explained on the Valencia Oran ferry page.
Travelling from Oran to Valencia with a dog
Baleà ria accepts pets. For Algeria and Morocco it asks for a passport or zoosanitary certificate, microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and, depending on the origin, an antibody test three months in advance. Algeria also requires a veterinary certificate endorsed 48 hours before leaving Spain. Without the papers, entry may be denied. More in travelling by ferry with a dog.
Ports of Oran and Valencia
Port of Orán
How to get to the port of Oran
The port of Oran is in the city. Baleà ria publishes the opening hours of the premises, with different windows in winter and summer, and in summer passengers on departures from Algeria are asked to present themselves many hours in advance. Check the exact lead time on your ticket.
Arriving in Valencia: Maritime Station and onward travel
You arrive at the Valencia Maritime Station, at the Moll de la Turia, with access to the metro and city bus. On disembarking you go through passport control; with a car, you head straight onto the motorway. If this is your first time in Spain on a visa, keep the document to hand.
Documents: Algerian passport, dual nationality and visa
All passengers need a passport and a return ticket.
With an Algerian passport
- To leave Algeria, Baleà ria accepts an Algerian passport, a passport from another country together with an expired Algerian passport, or an Algerian biometric identity card. Without any of these, a laissez-passer from the consulate.
- To enter Spain: a Schengen visa or a valid EU residence permit. The residence permit and visa are checked before boarding with the European platform, and you may be left on shore.
With dual nationality
Algeria treats you as Algerian. Enter and leave with the Algerian passport and use the European one to enter Spain.
Spaniards and other Europeans
An Algerian visa is compulsory and is not issued at the border: apply at least four weeks in advance. The DNI is not valid.
I Love Ferry tips for the Oran Valencia ferry
- Book with time to spare in summer. Departures are few and car places are limited.
- A cabin if you travel overnight with family. You cannot go down to the car deck during the crossing: keep medicines and documents with you.
- Documents on paper. Print your ticket, visa or residence permit and, if you are not the owner of the car, the original stamped authorisation.
- Do not change lightly. In Algeria, a change before the day is at a new fare; on the same day, with a penalty.
