Is a 5.99 m motorhome with a folded bike rack considered longer than 6 m for channel crossings?

    if you are booking with Brittany Ferries one of the questions on the on line booking page asks if your vehicle has a rear mounted bike carrier and the charge takes that into account.

    I think it more likely that ferries could charge. When we used Eurotunnel I think they have a quite generous unit length allowance.

    It’s normally the overall length that counts.

    With Brittany Ferries it would be. I chance my luck with the 6m measurement on my 6.07m caravan as they allow me 4.5m on the car and it's 4.35m. On the 3 crossings I have made no measurements have been taken.
