The amounts for each catergory are:

Hourly Navigation - Fuel:
Fuel is charged when you return the boat, and this is based on how many hours you have travelled. Fuel is approximately €6-€10 per cruising hour, depending on the vessel.

Car Transfers:
When doing a one way rental, you can have you car transferred from the start base to the end base. The prices do vary depending on the distance, but are priced between €45 - €121. This needs to be pre-booked.

Car Parking:
Public Car Parking is available around each base. Closed car parking is available at selected bases for between €15-€42 per week. Or a Garage is available at selected bases for between €25-€42 per week.

Bow Propeller:
Selected vessels includes a Bow Propeller, which is a small propeller in the stern which helps to steer the bow laterally, making operation easier. They need to be used carefully in canals as mud and stones can be sucked up along the canal sides. In case of breakdown during the cruise, it is often impossible to repair (a crane is often necessary to fix it). In this case, the cruise will go on without bow propeller. If the client requires a repairing during his cruise, this repairing will be invoiced to the client.

Due to the risks of the navigation, the bow propeller of the equipped boat you
booked for, may not be available the day of your departure. In this case, the bow
propeller will be deducted on the basis of a contractual price. The non-functioning
of the bow propeller can’t generate other compensation than the contractual price.

Inland Waterways Map:
There is a board book on every boat, which gives you information on navigation. However you can order an inland waterway map in advance (when you book the boat) if you wish to prepare your cruise. You can have a map for every waterway. Important : for some routes, you will need 2 maps. For example for the one-way trip Pontailler-sur-Saône/Digoin, 2 maps are necessary: the Centre Canal and the Saône river.
