Concessionary Discount

Red Funnel is committed to ensuring that all our guests have a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable sailing experience with us. If you have accessibility requirements, please pre-book and contact us at least 48 hours prior to travelling so we can ensure you have a smooth trip. Red Funnel’s Concessionary discount provides a 25% discount for all eligible customers travelling between the Isle of Wight and Southampton, making it even easier to get on board.

How it works

To buy Red Jet tickets, visit the Red Jet ticket office at either West Cowes or Southampton Terminal 2 and present your Blue Badge Card, Access Card or Disabled Persons Railcard when purchasing tickets on the day of travel.

To book vehicle ferry travel, you’ll need to book in advance. You can book online or by calling 023 8001 9192 (M-F, 08:00-19:00; weekends and bank holidays 08:00-18:00). You’ll need to present your Blue Badge Card, Access Card or Disabled Persons Railcard at check-in.

Travelling as a foot passenger on the vehicle ferry?
Concessionary tickets must be purchased from the ticket office before boarding and are available during ticket office opening hours. Concessionary tickets cannot be purchased onboard our vehicle ferries. Please remember to bring your valid Blue Badge Card, Access Card or Disabled Persons Railcard when purchasing your ticket.

Discount applies to travel only, and is not valid with any other Red Funnel offer or concession, including standard travel holder discounts. Please remember to bring your valid Blue Badge Card, Access Card or Disabled Persons Railcard on the day of travel. Please contact us to book or learn more.
