Who runs the ferry from Ghazaouet to AlmerÃa

Ghazaouet to AlmerÃa ferry price
The price you see above is the lowest recent one for an adult without a vehicle. With a car, it depends on the type of vehicle and its dimensions; enter make and model when you search.
On departure from Algeria, Baleà ria includes in the ticket the fuel tax that Algeria charges cars leaving the country. You will not have to pay it separately at the port, which does happen with other ferry companies on other routes. Confirm the breakdown in your booking.
Ghazaouet to AlmerÃa ferry with a car
To board the car in Algeria, bring these documents printed:
- The carte grise (registration document), never crossed out, and without a 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, with a copy of the DNI or passport of both.
- Passport and driving licence of each driver.
The car that entered Algeria is the one that must leave, with the person who imported it. If you brought it under temporary import, do not leave it there. In summer there have been restrictions on new cars, cars under three years old and goods; confirm whether they affect you.
Returning from Algeria to Spain with a dog
Baleà ria allows travel with a pet: up to 10 kg in a carrier in the lounges, a pet friendly cabin for a maximum of two animals and a kennel on some ships. It is added when booking.
To return to Spain, the pet must meet the EU entry requirements. We have not verified the exact requirements from Algeria: check them with an official vet before travelling. More information in travelling by ferry with a dog.
