Hi Brenda
All the major car hire companies can be found in Portsmouth, but all would require a taxi journey to get there. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi John
Onboard the Etretat, reserved seats for sleeping are located on deck 5. A member of staff onboard will be able to directly to your exact seat. Just show them your booking reference number. I hope this helps.
