When it fits, when it doesn’t

When is a VIP coach the right choice, and when not?

A VIP coach is the choice when the ride is part of the welcome: executive transport, event guests, weddings, artists. From the outside it is the size of a minibus, midibus or coach, but inside there are fewer seats in the same length, so there is more legroom and more peace and quiet. If it is purely about getting people from A to B, a standard vehicle for the same number of people is cheaper and just as safe.

And importantly: exactly what is on board varies greatly per vehicle, so read the amenities in the offer and don’t assume anything just because of the word VIP.

What to look out for with a VIP coach

  1. What's on board varies greatly per vehicle: read the amenities in the offer.
  2. Eight to thirty-six people, depending on the vehicle. Above that you move to a coach.
  3. If it's only about the transport and not the impression, a minibus is cheaper.
  4. For weddings or a press event: give the waiting times, as they are included in the price.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about hiring a VIP coach

Does a VIP coach always have leather seats?

No, this varies by provider. Check the exact equipment with the coach company before you book.

Is a VIP coach suitable for business guests?

Yes, that is what it is meant for: executive transport and welcoming clients or guests.

What is the difference between a VIP coach and a minibus?

The interior, not the size. A VIP coach has fewer seats in the same length and therefore more legroom, and often privacy glass and mood lighting. For ordinary transport a minibus is cheaper.

How many people fit in a VIP coach?

Eight to thirty-six, depending on the interior. Because the number of seats varies per vehicle, the exact number is shown with the vehicle in the offer.

Is a VIP coach suitable for a wedding?

Yes, that's one of its usual uses. Give the times and waiting periods in your request; the driver's waiting time is then included in the price estimate.
