Frequently asked questions
Vehicle passes are for Island residents or those who own a property on the Island. We strongly recommend Multilink vehicle bookings are made in advance as we reserve a minimum of 15% of space per sailing for Multilink Vehicle bookings. It’s especially important around school holidays and festivals. If you find you regularly travel at very short notice the Multilink pass may not be suitable.
The foot passes can be purchased by any of our customers. The passes are purchased in bulk and offer a significant saving on our regular ticket prices. The more tickets you buy, the greater the saving.
You can add two additional users on your Multilink Vehicle pass as long as they live at the same address.

It’s really straight forward.

You can then download your pass onto the Wightlink app. If you want a paper ticket, contact us with the pass number and we’ll send you one.
We can accept a driving licence, recent utility bill, phone bill, council tax bill or bank statement.
When you travel, you may be asked to provide ID – a photo driving licence, passport or HM Forces ID card is acceptable.
It’s always a good idea to carry some form of photo ID when travelling using a Multilink Pass. We want to make sure our customers are protected and regularly check that the pass holder is the person travelling.
If photo ID cannot be produced when asked, a full Standard ticket cost will be charged and we will not offer any retrospective refunds. You can request a Wightlink ID card by emailing our team here and attaching a passport sized photo and we can provide you with a Wightlink Photo ID Card. You can keep this with your pass and not have to worry again!
