When it fits, when it doesn’t

When is a coach the right choice, and when not?

A coach is the standard from about forty people, and for almost any trip that takes longer than an hour. Luggage under the floor, reclining seats and, in most versions, a toilet: that makes it suitable for trips of several days and for travel abroad. If you're travelling with fewer than forty people, you pay for seats that stay empty and a midibus is cheaper.

Where a coach runs into trouble is space: twelve to thirteen metres long and well over three and a half metres high doesn't fit into every street or under every barrier. Look into that beforehand, not only at the pick-up point but at the destination too.

What to look out for with a coach

  1. Twelve to thirteen metres long: check that the coach can stand at both your pick-up and drop-off point.
  2. Most have a toilet, but not all. Filter on it if it matters to your group.
  3. For a trip abroad: check that this coach and driver are equipped for it.
  4. The number of seats varies per coach, and that makes a difference to the price. The most common sizes are shown above.

Request your coach with no obligation via BusOffer

Coaches differ in the number of seats, and a bigger coach costs more. BusOffer.com shows for each provider which coach they would use for your trip, instead of saddling you with one fixed size.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about hiring a coach

Does the price of a coach include the driver?

Yes, the driver and insurance are always included in the price estimate shown.

Can a coach also travel abroad?

That is what a coach is built for, but not every coach company drives abroad. Enter your destination; if in doubt, ask in the conversation with the offer.

How much luggage space does a coach have?

Coaches have a spacious luggage compartment under the vehicle, usually enough for one suitcase per person.

Can I choose between different coach sizes?

Yes. The most common sizes among the coaches on BusOffer.com are on this page under "Does your group fit?". Choose the smallest one that fits, so you don’t pay for empty seats.

Is a toilet standard in a coach?

In most coaches, but not all. Filter on it when comparing if it matters to you.

How much does it cost to hire a coach?

That depends on the distance, the duration, the day and the month. The page for 50 people has a worked example: a day trip in a coach, calculated with our standard rate. Fill in your trip and within 1 minute you see what coach companies charge for your trip.

Written and checked by Martijn Smeets, founder of BusOffer.com. The counts come from the fleets of the participating coach companies. The text was last updated on 15 October 2026.
