Driving from the base is part of the price of every trip, so a company that is close by usually starts lower. These 6 are within 50 km:
Measured as the crow flies from the centre. Which one is cheapest also depends on the vehicle and the date.
Utrecht has a low-emission zone. A coach may only enter if it meets the requirements; if in doubt, ask the coach company whether the coach it sends is allowed in. Thanks to the central location, the distance a coach has to travel to reach you is also limited for many coach companies. 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.
For events at the Jaarbeurs, the pick-up point often determines the driving time. If your group needs to be there, ask the coach company for a pick-up point on the Croeselaan side; it saves a detour through the centre.
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.
Around the edge of the city centre, the municipality of Utrecht has designated fixed spots where a coach may stop briefly to let passengers on and off, each with its own time window and a maximum duration. The coach then drives on to a car park on the outskirts of the city.
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.
