Paying for this ferry
How fares work
Västtrafik: Fares work by zone, not distance. Bicycles travel free on deck up to 190 by 70 cm, but the rules change line by line — cargo bikes cost 30 SEK on the southern archipelago routes, e-bikes are banned on line 381, and Strömstad–Koster charges separately.
