Rally Visitors

Accommodation
Hotel accommodation, bed and breakfast, self catering, camping. Since both the Manx International Rally and the Manx (National) Rally occure in the summer months it is best to book early, though accommodation should not be too hard to find.

Transport
There are two ways to get to the Isle of Man, by boat or by air. Flights are available, though are seen as a more expensive way to get on and off the Island. Many choose to come by boat from England and Ireland, which is more cost effective and has higher passenger availability. It can be very cheap on the boat if you come as a foot passenger without a motor vehicle (Bicycles must be checked in, but are FREE). Note that boats (ferries) are subject to the weather and can be delayed or even canceled in bad weather. Consider this carefully if you have a restricted time frame for your visit (ie connecting boat/ferry, etc).

Watching the Rally
Having a car is necessary unless you play to ride with someone. Many of the rally stages are in hard to reach locations scattered around the Island. Short distances of road close in a number of locations for this event and it is important to check the public listings of what will be closed and how long for. Also consider how you will get to a viewing location and if you will be able to park.
