Do car ferries travel over the ocean?
Can cars go on ocean ferries? It seems like the waves might present a problem, but my husband and I are hoping to bring our car to an island off the coast of Maine this summer.

Yes, some car ferries do travel over the ocean. In fact, you’ll see car ferries on almost every type of body of water!
However, you should check with the island that you’d like to visit to find out if it has a car ferry that you can use. Some islands, particularly smaller islands right off the coast, don’t allow cars at all. Others are simply too small or sparsely populated to justify having a car ferry.
On these islands, residents will use
bicycles
, mopeds, and other small forms of transportation to get around. Then, when they go to the mainland, they can retrieve their car from a nearby parking lot or garage.While you’re learning about car ferries, why not learn how to save on your car insurance, too? Check out the
