Coach hire for 50 people

Fifty people is the group the full-size coach is built for. One coach, one driver, a luggage hold under the floor, and usually a toilet on board.

Our advice for 50 people

For fifty people we recommend one full-size coach. A full-size coach has thirty-five to sixty-six seats, so fifty fit with room to spare. Two smaller buses almost always cost more, because you pay two drivers for the same trip, and the group then does not travel together.

Which coach suits 50 people?

The seats per type, from minibus to double-decker. The type that suits your group stands out. Click a bar for more about that type.

Which size do you choose for 50 people?

With fifty you do not choose between types, but between coaches. The difference is in the year of build, the legroom, wifi and sockets, a coffee machine or a fridge. For a short trip to Pairi Daiza or Plopsaland any coach will do; for a trip of several days to the south it pays to look at comfort. What is on board is shown per coach in the offer.

What does a coach for 50 people cost?

A price without your trip would be a guess for 50 people, so it is not shown here. What you pay mainly depends on four things:

The vehicle. How many seats 50 people need, and what is on board.
The trip. How long the coach is on the road with your 50, how far it drives, and how far the coach company has to travel to reach you.
The day and the time. On a Saturday, a Sunday or public holiday, or at night, our standard rate adds a surcharge.
The month. Our standard rate differs per month: higher in busy months than in quiet ones.

How we work that out is explained on How we calculate.

Practical points for 50 people

With fifty you are a whole year group, a large staff party, a brass band with supporters or a parish trip. A full coach cannot park everywhere: ask at your destination where the coach may load and unload, and pass that on. For a trip to Antwerp, Ghent or Brussels, choose a pick-up point outside or at the edge of the low-emission zone, or let the coach company send a coach that may enter.

What to look out for with 50 people

Fifty people do not get on and off in a minute. Allow some time at every stop, and agree on a fixed meeting point.
On a long journey a second driver may be needed, because a driver may only drive a limited number of hours a day. That is then included in the price of the offer.
In spring many coaches drive school trips, in winter ski trips. For those periods ask as early as possible.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about a coach for 50 people

Does a group of 50 fit in one coach?

Yes. A full-size coach has thirty-five to sixty-six seats. Fifty people fit easily, with seats to spare for supervisors or hand luggage.

Does a coach for 50 people have a toilet?

Most do, but not all. If a toilet on board matters to you, put it in your request; then you only see coaches that have one.

Where does a coach with 50 people park?

That varies by destination. Many theme parks, museums and hotels have a coach park. In a city centre it is often only getting off at a designated spot, after which the coach waits elsewhere. Ask and pass it on to the coach company.

What does it cost to hire a coach for 50 people?
