      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.

      Leiden is home to the oldest university in the Netherlands and therefore has a large student population, which makes it a popular destination for study-related group trips. Museums such as Naturalis and the historic centre with its canals also regularly attract school groups and tourist parties.

      What does coach hire in Leiden cost?

      Leiden lies centrally between Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam, which makes the city easy to reach for many coach companies in the Randstad (the urban west of the country) without a long journey to the pick-up point. 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

      As a student city, Leiden has a relatively high demand for group transport for introduction weeks and student associations. Like Amsterdam, the compact centre has limited access for large coaches. A pick-up point just outside the old city moats (the singels) is often more practical.

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

      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.

        Where a coach may stop and park in Leiden

        Leiden's city centre has two drop-off points for coaches where you may stop for no more than a quarter of an hour. For longer waits, there are spaces on the edge of the centre.

        Below are the spots as the source names them. A municipality can move a spot or close it temporarily, for example for roadworks or an event: check the source’s page again just before your trip, and agree the spot with your coach company.

        Frequently asked questions

        Frequently asked questions about coach hire in Leiden

        Does Leiden combine well with a visit to The Hague or Amsterdam?

        Yes, both cities are a short distance from Leiden and are easy to combine in a day programme.

        Is there enough room to board at Naturalis or in the centre?

        Most major attractions in Leiden have a designated drop-off and pick-up point for coaches. The coach company can agree this with you in advance.

        Is a pick-up point in the centre of Leiden always possible?

        Not always in the narrowest parts of the centre. The coach company will then suggest a pick-up point just outside the singels.

        Do many coaches run for student associations in Leiden?

        Yes, especially during introduction weeks and annual association outings this is a recurring request in the city.

        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.
