vehicle ferry
Ship carrying automobiles
A vehicle ferry is a ferry designed to transport cars, trucks, and other motor vehicles along with their passengers.
Unlike passenger-only ferries, vehicle ferries have drive-on, drive-off decks that allow vehicles to board and disembark directly: We took the vehicle ferry across the channel rather than driving around the bay.
