Update to the Resident SAVER Vehicle Fare

From 23 September 2026, the reduced vehicle fare will be extended to apply to selected departures covering 80% of scheduled departures over a 12-month period. We know how important access to the mainland is for the Kangaroo Island community. Expanding the resident SAVER vehicle fare is an important part of the new ferry service, helping make travel more affordable for residents.

The fare will continue to be available on the 5.30am and 7.30am services from Penneshaw and the 6.00pm and 7.00pm services from Cape Jervis, including on weekends and public holidays, when these services are scheduled.

Availability on other services will vary depending on demand and season and may differ from day to day. Overall, the resident SAVER vehicle fare will apply to 80% of all scheduled departures over a 12-month period.

If you already have a booking on an eligible reduce fare service from 23 September 2026, we will adjust pricing where applicable.

Where a fare is reduced, the difference will automatically be placed in credit and can be used for future travel, or a refund of the fare difference is available on request.
