Queues and when to arrive
We read the HAK road camera at Brestova every few minutes: the light at the top of this page is the queue now. The questions at the foot of the page say when the queue has filled on past sailings.
A ticket for this line does not hold a place on a particular sailing (see the tickets section above), so the queue on the ramp decides who boards.
Onboard
The price list on this page gives the fare per car and per passenger where the operator publishes one. To board you only need to show the ticket stored on your phone; Jadrolinija says so on its site.
