      What does coach hire in Leeuwarden cost?

      Leeuwarden is relatively far from the Randstad, which adds to the travel distance, and so to the price estimate, when leaving from the west of the country. Coach companies based in the north of the Netherlands often have a price advantage from Leeuwarden because they have less distance to cover to reach you. 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

      Groups regularly leave Leeuwarden for the Frisian lakes or one of the ferry ports for the Wadden Islands. For water sports clubs and sailing camps, this is one of the most requested trips in the province.

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

      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.
