Making changes to your booking
For Standard Plus tickets, you are able to amend the date and time of your booking, subject to available capacity, but you will be charged a small administration fee if you need to do this. A fee will be charged for every amendment to booking times and dates. Please note that any changes to pet and vehicle details, insurance or APIs will be amendable without charge. 
Flexibility
With a Standard Plus ticket, travel is permitted on a different crossing up to four hours after your booked time, at no extra charge. So for example, if you were booked on a 2pm service, you could arrive later and make any crossing up to 6pm on the day of travel. 
Refunds
Standard Plus tickets are fully refundable, if the refund request is made at least 7 days before the booked departure date. If requested less than 7 days before the booked day of travel, a refund is not available. If tickets are exchanged less than 7 days before the departure date to a new date, the ticket remains non-refundable.
