A car and passenger ferry runs every hour from Tarbert to Portavadie, and vice versa. The ferry operates under two timetables - the spring/summer timetable and the winter timetable. The difference being the number of ferry trips operated in a single day, and the winter timetable includes a single daily ferry from Tarbert to Arran.

At roughly £30.00 for a return trip for a car and driver it is quite good value and convenient.
