        Calculate your trip

      • These are examples, calculated with our standard rate, not yet from a coach company. The lower amount belongs to the first day, the higher one to the second. Your price depends on your date, route and group. The coach companies give their own price. Your own request shows them side by side, and they are sometimes lower and sometimes higher.

      What the price depends on

      What does the price of coach hire depend on?

      Four factors together make up most of the price.

      • Distance

        The further between the pick-up point and the destination, the higher the driving and mileage costs.

      • Group size

        Decides which type of coach you need, and therefore the hourly rate used.

      • Date

        A weekend, public holiday or high season costs more than a quiet weekday.

      • Waiting time or overnight stay

        Does the coach have to wait along the way, or does it stay overnight? That counts too.

      How to make your coach trip cheaper

      • Travel on a weekday. On Saturdays our standard rate adds 7%, on Sundays and public holidays 10.5%.
      • Pick a quiet month. In January and February the price is 10% lower than in an ordinary month, in July and August 15% higher.
      • Take the smallest coach your group fits in. A smaller coach has a lower hourly and per-kilometre rate. Work out which coach fits.
      • Compare. Coach companies with their own rates are sometimes lower and sometimes higher than our standard. That is why you see them side by side.
      • Start from your budget. Know what the coach may cost, but not yet where to go? See which day trips fit.

      What does a coach cost for one day?

      There is no fixed day rate. A day adds up: the hours the driver works, the kilometres, and the time the coach waits for you. A short day close to home costs much less than a day to the Ardennes.

      If the coach waits longer than three hours, our standard rate charges the hours after that at half the waiting rate. See the example trips at the top.

      These are the surcharges of our standard rate. A coach company with its own rates may use different ones.

      How that price is made up

      • The coach company's own fixed costs and hourly rate, or our standard rate as long as it hasn't entered them yet
      • Driving time and kilometres on your route, plus waiting time at the destination
      • Travelling to you from the company's base
      • Any surcharges for weekends, nights, public holidays or high season
      • Tolls, vignettes and parking where they apply
      • VAT is already included in the amount shown; it is not added again

      The coach company then confirms the final amount itself. It can differ, for example because of a different route or extra waiting time; each offer shows what the estimate is based on.

      How we calculate, step by step

      Why is comparing worth it?

      For the same trip, the price can differ a lot between coach companies, depending on the type of coach, its size, the company's rate and how far it has to travel to reach you. You see those differences side by side here, with a breakdown for each price estimate, so you can see for yourself where the difference comes from.

      What is always included in the price?

      Driver, insurance and VAT are included in the price estimate; you get the final amount from the coach company itself

      Frequently asked questions

      Frequently asked questions about the price of a coach

      What does it cost to hire a coach in Belgium?

      That depends on your route, your date, your group and the coach company. The example trips above show an amount, calculated with our standard rate. To see what it costs for your trip, enter it: then you see the prices of coach companies side by side.

      How much VAT is in the price?

      Every coach company, Belgian or Dutch, charges the VAT of each country on the kilometres driven there: 6% on the part of the trip in Belgium and 9% on a part in the Netherlands. The amount you see always includes VAT; it is not added again.

      Do you use the Belgian public holidays?

      Yes, for a Belgian coach company: the ten statutory public holidays, such as 21 July. 11 July, the holiday of the Flemish Community, is not a statutory public holiday and does not count. A Dutch coach company uses the Dutch public holidays.

      Why is a Saturday more expensive than a weekday?

      Our standard rate adds a surcharge on Saturdays, and a higher one on Sundays and public holidays. A coach company with its own rates can use different surcharges.

      Do you add tolls?

      Not for a trip in Belgium, the Netherlands or Germany: a coach pays no general toll there. For a destination abroad where a coach does pay, such as France, we add an estimate.

      Can a Dutch coach company also drive my trip?

      Yes. The comparison also shows Dutch coach companies that offer trips in Belgium. Each company says on the price overview what it charges for your trip.

      Is the amount I see the final price?

      No, it is a price estimate. The coach company confirms the final amount itself. It can differ, for example because of a different route or extra waiting time.
