** Vans are normally considered ‘Commercial’ and charged at a higher ‘Freight’
rate than Non-commercial prices. However, the Isle of Man Steam Packet
Company has agreed that teams with Support Vans for use at this event may be
treated as an exception to this. Therefore, to book a small van for the event, you
will need to ring Reservations on 08722 992992, (lines open Monday-Friday 0900-
1700) and quote the HSBC Discount Code and confirm that you are 'not carrying
goods for commercial gain'. You will then get the £209 rate. Reservations may ask
you to complete a 'Private Vehicle Exemption' form to confirm that you are
booking for leisure purposes. This will ensure you are not charged freight rates
and that no VAT is applicable. This is easily done and confirming in advance will
prevents any delays or issues at the Port.
