01Compare identical dates and destinations
These are separate mainland ports. A ticket departing Incheon cannot simply be used at Bangameori. Search the same island and travel dates before comparing. Daebu is an Ansan departure point, not another name for a downtown Incheon terminal.
| Your situation | What matters |
|---|---|
| Public transport | First service, ticketing deadline and the final transfer |
| Driving | Road travel, parking or vehicle transport cost |
| Day trip | Time on the island and a workable return ferry |
| Returning to another port | How you will retrieve a parked car |
02Include costs beyond the fare
Add ground transport, taxis, parking, vehicle charges and local island transport to the two passenger fares. A discounted price may depend on residency or proof of eligibility. Do not budget using the cheapest displayed fare unless you meet its conditions.
Search directions using the full terminal name, not simply Incheon Port or Daebu Island. Driving directions and public-transport directions may produce very different journeys. For a morning sailing, work backwards from the ticketing and boarding deadlines, not the departure time alone.
03For cars, select the vessel first
A port having a car ferry does not mean every sailing carries cars. Korea Express Ferry identifies its Deokjeok Korea Express service for vehicle transport and directs enquiries for Jawol, Ijak and Seungbong vehicle transport to Daebu Shipping. Confirm the dated sailing and vehicle procedure before deciding where to drive.
If your ferry is cancelled, another port is not an automatic backup. Confirm operating status, passenger space and ticketing availability before making the road journey. A return into a different port can work only when its onward transport also works.
Frequently asked questions
Can I return to a different mainland port?
Check both individual sectors and arrange onward transport. If you left a car at the outward port, include the journey needed to collect it.
Is Incheon Airport part of the ferry terminal?
No. Allow for immigration, baggage collection and a separate road journey. Do not plan a ferry connection using the flight arrival time alone.
