== Ferries ==
Travellers can buy a ticket for a Marine Atlantic ferry on-line, by phone, or at a terminal. It is not uncommon during the peak travel season for the Port-aux-Basque ferry to sell out of tickets – even for (on the rare occasion) "walk-on" passengers. This can pose a problem while hitchhiking given its unpredictable nature. Calling ahead your reservation, even several hours before departure, will likely be enough to ensure your passage. Walk-on tickets cost approximately $3042.43 as of May 2015.
The Argentia ferry is located two hours from St. John’s. It is largely frequented by tourists and generally has fewer passengers, both factors decreasing the chances of finding a ride. Walk-on tickets cost approximately $110.
