Standard Vehicles Non-Standard Vehicles Caravans & Motor Homes Other Vehicles towing trailers Measuring your vehicles and/or trailers Pets & Kennels Motor Bikes and Bicycles Fuel Surcharges How to measure your car and caravan/trailer. The total cost for your car and caravan or trailer is determined by measuring the overall length of both units. To work out the cost, measure the distance from the front of the car (including the bulbar) to the back of your caravan or trailer.   IMPORTANT NOTE: Vehicle lengths are rounded up to the next whole metre. For example if your car and caravan or motorhome equals a total of 11.1 metres, it would be classed as 12 metres. It is crucial that you get your measurements correct as to under-estimate will incur additional costs for you and if space is "tight" then you could be denied boarding!
