Is a regular driver available for the whole event?

You can say so in your request; for a multi-day event some coach companies do work with changing drivers.

Can I hold an option without booking straight away?

Yes. Requesting a booking commits you to nothing; the coach company contacts you, without obligation, to confirm the final price and availability.

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.
