Don't use this WEB-page, its is a rip-off
Don't use this WEB-page, its business concept is rip-off!
I looked for a ferry of the Danish Alslinjen. Strange enough the first WEB-Page Google offered was not the home page of Alslinjen, but Direct Ferries.
So my first assumption was that Alslinjen was now handling their booking via a joined portal with other ferries.
I got suspicious, when I saw that the price Direct Ferries offered was more than double the price of Alslinjen!
So, in contradiction to their name"Direct Ferries", this is not a direct booking at your ferry operator, but a broker which is ripping you off with excessive pricing!
Additionally, when you do a booking , it responds with a statement, that this was not a booking, but a booking request by you, which will be answered within 48 hours. - What a nonsens! - When you book directly at Alslinjen, you get the booking confirmation immediately!
So: fingers off Direct Ferries, they are bluntly cheating you!
P.s.:
Later on Direct Ferries replied that this excessive price of 872,99 kr for the tur-retour trip was due to a price change of the ferry operator.
This i snot true. Alslinjen did not change the price, it was all the time 320,- kr for the same trip.
