Ferry Issues

Ok..So we recently thought it would be best to rent a car in Glasgow, drive to Ferry, take to Larne, tour Ireland and back again...But in researching all the price issues with taking rentals into Ireland found it best that we fly from Glasgow to Belfast rent car..tour Ireland and back. BUT when trying to decide our ferry reservations we went forward and back on their web pages. We have been so careful (as we don't know what the heck we are doing) to make reservations that we can CANCEl, or change if need be. By doing this toggleing we now have reservatoins that the ferry company won't let us cancel,because the page defaulted to a non flex fair, but saved the rest of our information, even though our trip is not till May...any suggestions...anyone want to buy some ferry tickets??? We really can't afford to be $400.00! Thanks for some friendly advise on some rookie International travelers!

Julene, sorry to hear of your difficulty. Do you think you were tricked into buying that product? Had you previously entered your credit card and then they changed what you were buying? Have you spoken to your credit card issuer?

Besides the frequent flyer miles we accrue, the great thing about a credit card is that you can dispute a charge, like this one. Call the CC company today and dispute it. Give them the details of your dispute and let them do the legwork. We have always prevailed when disputing a charge--Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. Most of us that travel overseas have done the same thing or been routed to a ticket we didn't want. Not to worry. :-)

Thanks so much everyone for such great advise! I did not even think of the credit card dispute. I was also surprise of the lack of friendly customer service..but we got just the flat no not refundable! This is a trip of a lifetime on my bucket list and $400 is a lot of money for anyone! I do appreciate the advise! Happy Trails Everyone!
