Car Barge Information

First thing to know about is the Port Authority Fee
Pay at the booth before you enter the parking lot at Red Hook
$3 per Car, small SUV, Motorcycle; $4 per truck, van, large SUV.
Get your ticket and drive in, there will be someone to show you which lane to get in. Note that you will back your vehicle on to the ferry.
 
The fare for the car barge is paid once on the actual barge. Tickets can be purchased for a one-way trip, or a round-trip fare. Tickets are not interchangeable between the three car barge companies. If you purchase a round-trip ticket, it is only good for the barge that issued it.
 
The Red Hook ferry location services both passenger ferries and car ferries, but there are two separate docking areas for each type of ferry, with separate well-marked entrances. Arrive as early as possible before the car barge departure time you hope to catch. It fills up fast.
