      Company outings

      Colleagues back and forth at set times

      At a staff party or a conference with several hotels, the coach sometimes runs between two places all evening. That is a shuttle service, and you request it slightly differently from an ordinary trip. It has its own explanation, with a calculator for the number of coaches.

      Frequently asked questions

      Frequently asked questions about company outings

      Can the coach call at several offices?

      Yes, click "Add a stop" in the search form to add stops to the route.

      Is an invoice per cost centre possible?

      Discuss this directly with the coach company when you ask for the quote.

      Can the invoice be made out to the company?

      Yes. The coach company invoices whoever books the trip: add the company name and billing address to your request.

      Is a coach cheaper than separate taxis to the venue?

      That depends on your trip and your group. Fill in your trip, then you see what the coach costs and can compare it with separate taxis or claimed mileage.

      Can the coach still drive back late in the evening?

      Yes, give the return time you want in your request, even if that is late in the evening.

      Is the price estimate I see final?

      No, it is a price estimate based on your route and group size, not a confirmation of availability. The coach company itself confirms the final price and availability after you have sent a no-obligation booking request.

      Does it cost anything to request a booking?

      No, requesting a booking is always free and without obligation. You are not committed to anything until the coach company has confirmed the final price and availability and you agree.
