For those travelling with Red Funnel to the IOW Takeover in LOW CLEARANCE CARS, please book your vehicle as a CAR and in the height drop down menu select – UP TO 2.7M. This will guarantee you a space on the main deck as required. If you do not select 2.7m height and select a car at 2.0m, you will not be guaranteed a space on the main deck which could cause issues with clearance and being unable to travel at your booked time. Please ensure you’re booking your lowered car as 2.7m height with Red Funnel. All non-lowered cars can select 2.0m when booking. All IOW Takeover attendees travelling with Red Funnel save 25% on the total fare when booked here:

let's remember the importance of respecting the neighbourhoods and maintaining a quiet and respectful presence at the port and on the ferries. We kindly ask that you be mindful of engine noise and avoid disturbances. Please don't let the actions of a few spoil the experience for the many. Both companies will be monitoring and collecting number plates of any individuals who do not adhere to these guidelines, and necessary actions will be taken. Thank you for your cooperation in making this event enjoyable for all.
