A single company in our readings: Corsica Ferries
On Toulon–Ajaccio, our readings of 1 July 2026 surface just one carrier: Corsica Ferries. Of the 278 cheapest crossings observed for a foot passenger in a reclining seat, all 278 are operated by Corsica Ferries; no other company appears on this route, so there is no codeshare to weigh up. The useful comparison here is not between companies but between months, between days of the week and between departure ports.
October at the floor, August and June at the top
For a foot passenger in a reclining seat, the cheapest month is October: the ticket starts at €28.20 and settles at €36.18 on average. The most expensive month, on average, is August at €47.92 — nearly €12 above October's average. In between, September already eases back to €36.85 on average, while January, February and March stay bunched around €39 (minimum €38.00 in all three months). June and July rise to €43.45 and €41.86 on average.
The behaviour shifts as soon as you add a car and a cabin. For 1 adult + car + cabin, October remains the floor (from €87.00, €129.90 on average), but the peak swings to June (€177.78 on average), ahead of August (€158.55). The same hierarchy holds for 2 adults + car + cabin (October from €113.00 / €157.83 on average; June €212.56) and for a family of 2 adults + 2 children + car + cabin (October from €155.00 / €202.03 on average; June €263.00). In other words: the foot passenger pays the peak in August, the car-and-cabin traveller pays it in June.
August: high average, yet the lowest fare of the year
The lowest price recorded all year for a foot passenger — €28.00 on Friday 21 August 2026 — lands squarely in the month with the highest average. August posts both the highest average (€47.92) and the lowest minimum (€28.00): the spread within the month is wide. The second-cheapest date, €28.20, is Wednesday 28 October 2026. On vehicle + cabin, the lowest date is Monday 26 October 2026 for every profile: €87.00 solo, €113.00 for two, €155.00 for the family.
Friday first, then the neighbouring ports
By day of the week, Friday comes out cheapest for the foot passenger (€39.19 on average); Monday (€41.97) and Sunday (€41.63) are the dearest. Friday is also the best day across the three car + cabin profiles.
To reach Ajaccio, Toulon is the cheapest departure port among those recorded: from €28.00 and €40.23 on average, against Nice (from €33.00, €49.25 on average, Corsica Ferries), Sète (from €36.00, €42.60 on average, Corsica Ferries) and Marseille (from €34.02, €50.64 on average, operated by La Méridionale). Toulon is thus the cheapest starting point at the minimum and at the average alike.
What these readings cover — and what they don't
These figures come from crossings observed on 1 July 2026, covering January to March then June to December. April and May do not appear in our readings for this route; no price is therefore shown for those two months. Across the available months, October remains the lowest entry point across every profile: €28.20 for a foot passenger, €155.00 for a family with car and cabin.
