Apeldoorn lies at the heart of the Veluwe, which makes the city a popular starting point for day trips. The average trip distance to well-known destinations in the region is therefore often limited. As everywhere, the final price also depends on the distance, the vehicle type you choose and the date. Request a free price estimate for your exact route.
Groups going to Apenheul or Paleis Het Loo often combine it with the Veluwe as a second stop. Say in your request whether you want to stop along the way, so the coach company can estimate the route and driving time properly.
Enter the address your group leaves from. You then see two things: whether we recognise that address, and which coach companies on BusOffer are closest to it. Driving to the start is part of the price of every trip, so a company nearby starts lower. Which spot a coach may use there is something you agree with the coach company; it differs per street and per municipality, and we don’t know it.
A busy city centre is not always the easiest place to get on board. These are the two kinds of places where a coach can usually stop easily.
Easy to reach and known to almost every driver, and your group can get there by public transport. Many stations have a strip where loading for a short time is allowed; your coach company knows which one.
More room to turn and to wait if needed, without having to enter the often narrower city centre — handy with a large group or a tight schedule.
These are kinds of places, not addresses. Exactly where a coach may stop differs per street and per moment; your coach company knows that for your date and agrees it with you.
