Decisions, Decisions,....

Before you make the decision on how to travel you should ask yourself a few questions:
How long is your holiday? Are you planning a short getaway break or mini holiday? Do you need to bring a lot of special equipment?
Car ferry tickets are often more expensive than plane tickets with budget airlines.
Longer holidays justify the usually more expensive trip by car ferry. You can bring your own vehicle to get around and save the money for a rental car.
You can bring a lot more gear if you are planning  e.g. on camping if you take a car ferry to Ireland.
For a shorter holiday, you might be better off going by plane and hiring a car if necessary.
For a large family or group, it might be significantly cheaper to travel by ferry particularly if you come from the UK, Germany or France.
