Do you have to book the Ærø ferry in advance?

Booking and payment rules for Ærø.

Short answer

Yes, on Ærøfærgerne you must book and pay in advance, both as a walk-on passenger and with a car or other vehicle. You get a payment reminder by email 60 hours before departure. If the booking is not paid 48 hours before departure, it is cancelled automatically and you lose your place on the ferry. If you book less than 48 hours before, you must pay within 2 hours or at the latest 30 minutes before departure, whichever comes first.
