      Want to drive a minibus yourself? That is not possible here: BusOffer.com compares coaches and buses with a driver. You hire a minibus without a driver from a rental company.

      In the seventeenth century, Hoorn was one of the towns with its own chamber of the VOC, the Dutch East India Company, and you can still see that in the harbour, the Hoofdtoren and the warehouses on the Oostereiland. The Westfries Museum stands on the Roode Steen, in the heart of the town centre.

      For groups from West Friesland, Hoorn is the usual starting point: on the A7 towards Amsterdam and the Afsluitdijk, and close to the steam tram to Medemblik.

      What does coach hire in Hoorn cost?

      Hoorn lies on the A7, so a trip to Amsterdam or the north starts without a detour. Coach companies based in West Friesland have little distance to cover to reach you; if the coach comes from further away, that drive counts towards the price. 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.

      Practical: getting on board and local points to note

      A coach may not enter Hoorn's town centre without an exemption. If your group leaves from the centre, agree a spot on the edge with the coach company, or ask whether an exemption is needed; it only applies to transport to and from museums, the cinema on the Oostereiland and care institutions.

      Which coach company is closest to your departure address in Hoorn?

      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.

        Frequently asked questions

        Frequently asked questions about coach hire in Hoorn

        May a coach enter Hoorn's town centre?

        No, not without an exemption. The municipality only grants one for transport to and from social and cultural institutions: museums, Cinema Oostereiland and care institutions. With an exemption, the group can get off on the Visserseiland or the Achterom, next to the Westfries Museum.

        How long may a coach stand on the Visserseiland?

        With an exemption, no more than 15 minutes, to let passengers get on and off. If a coach is already there, the coach must go to the Pelmolenpad or the Transferium.

        Where does the coach park in Hoorn while the group is in town?

        Longer parking is possible on the edge of the town centre: at the Transferium on the Van Dedemstraat and on the Pelmolenpad. Coaches for passengers of river cruise ships can stand on the Nieuwe Wal.

        Do I have to apply for the exemption myself?

        No need: the coach company usually arranges it, because the exemption belongs behind the coach's windscreen. Check if your group is going to a museum in the town centre; the municipality asks for the application a few days in advance.

        Can the coach make a stop along the way?

        Yes, click "Add a stop" in the search form to add one or more stops to the route, for example to pick someone up along the way.

        Does the coach also run very early in the morning or late in the evening?

        Yes, give your preferred departure time in your request; most coach companies in our network also drive outside normal office hours.
