Ferrybestprice.to website: http://www.ferrybestprice.to click here to be emailed a proposal Summary The main criticism of AFerry.to was that customers could not easily compare ferry prices. Customers wanted to enter general search criteria (such as route area/month of travel) and then quickly be given a range of REAL crossings, cheapest first, which could be immediately booked online. The system had to search for prices on 25 global ferry operators. Results Ferrybestprice.to, powered by the AFerry.to technology, was launched in early 2003. It is the only online ferry price guide. Ferrybestprice.to allows users to find the best price for a crossing by searching REAL ferry prices done by REAL people. It is the official price guide tool for AFerry.to customers, and has received unanimous praise.
