How can I book a van/truck?
If the vehicle is registered in the vehicle registration book as a lorry, transport of goods or for mixed use (loading of goods for sale or work equipment) it is not possible to purchase a passenger ticket for the same, but it is necessary to issue a bill of lading (ie a ticket for freight) by contacting one of the following addresses: cargo@gnv.it - tel: 0105509339
If there is a commercial vehicle erroneously booked on a passenger ticket during check-in there will be a 100% penalty.
Subject to the availability of space in the ship hold, a bill of lading will be issued for the commercial vehicle.
