Long-distance coach hire: the benefits for group travellers
As a rule, buses and drivers are provided by our partner operators, from a network of more than 1,500 partner operators across Europe. For longer routes, the coach for 19 to 50 people, the coach XL for 51 to 57 people and the double-decker coach for 58 to 75 people are suitable. You will find the full vehicle range from van to double-decker coach in the overview.
Travelling together has an advantage: the group travels without changing, the luggage stays on the bus for the whole trip, and the cost is shared among all passengers. On the way, the group can talk or use the travel time for meetings. The drivers ensure a punctual departure.
Long-distance coaches are booked for city trips, club trips and company outings. For shorter routes, read more under coach hire with driver, and for large groups under double-decker coach with driver.
