Ferry concessions for National Entitlement Card holders

You can get 4 free ferry vouchers each year if you:

• have a National Entitlement Card (NEC) – you may know this as your free bus pass
• live on certain Scottish islands
• meet any other requirements depending on your NEC type

You do not need to apply for the ferry vouchers separately. If you qualify, you’ll automatically receive them with your NEC.

Find out more about ferry vouchers on the Transport Scotland website.

If you have an older person’s NEC or a disabled person’s NEC

You can get ferry vouchers if you live in the Western Isles, Orkney or Shetland.

If you have a Young Scot NEC

How you get your vouchers
