Do they check the length of your car on the ferry from Melbourne to Devonport?

Question

When you book a ticket using the spirit of tasmania website there is a default of 5m for a normal car. If you have bullbars there is a box to tick which adds another metre - but also adds $40 to the cost each way!
We have a stationwagon with bullbars and are wondering if we should own up or just risk it. I'm going to have a look to see if I can get the bars off but the car will still be a little over 5m long.

Answer 1

Wing it, plead ignorance, BUT......have 80 bucks on hand in case!
