  • 3. Do I have to pay a single supplement if I travel alone?

    Where possible we try to keep our single supplements to a minimum, and actively create holidays that do not include a single supplement. It is however necessary at times to charge a single supplement.

  • 4. Do I have to pay to be picked up at home?

    For passengers within our pick-up area we offer a door to door pick up service for free. Passengers outside of the initial pick-up area may have to pay an additional small charge, please check at time of booking.

    When you book with us we will ask you where you would like to sit and find you the best seat for you. We do have to work on a first come first served basis however, so if you particularly wanted a specific seat please book early. There is no additional charge for reserving specific seats.

  • 7. Is there a maximum luggage allowance for my suitcase?

    We politely request that you try and limit your luggage to one suitcase per person, which should not exceed 20kg. You are of course able to bring hand luggage onto the coach, which can be kept with you and can be stored in the overhead luggage rack.
