Updates, news & guides for renting a bus
Platform updates, industry news and practical guides for school trips, club outings, corporate events and all kinds of group bus travel in Germany.
Scheduled Bus Service Software: Plan Timetables and Dispatch Runs in the Cloud
Commuter service, school bus, fixed shuttle line: set up the timetable once, Busly creates every run, handles public holidays, optimises the route and dispatches bus and driver for the whole series. Free instead of an expensive licence.
How many people fit in a coach? Seats by bus type
A standard coach has 48 to 53 seats; across all bus types the range runs from 3 to 80. Why the seat count is not the whole truth, what luggage and wheelchairs change and how to avoid the most expensive mistake: the second bus.
Renting a minibus for 15 people with driver: costs, vehicles and examples
A minibus with driver for 15 people costs EUR 600 to 750 per day, or EUR 550 to 650 for half a day. What determines the price, when a minibus becomes too small or the distance too long and why the licence settles the question of driving yourself.
Renting a bus for 25 to 30 people: costs with driver, vehicles and examples
A coach with driver for 30 people costs EUR 1,100 to 1,500 per day, i.e. EUR 37 to 50 per person. Which bus fits 25 to 30 people, what determines the price and how to lower the price per head.
Renting a bus for 50 people: what a coach with driver costs per day
A coach with driver for 50 people costs EUR 1,100 to 1,800 per day, i.e. EUR 22 to 36 per person. Why seats 49 and 50 are the real issue, which vehicles are an option and what a wedding, company event or club trip actually costs.
Renting a bus for 8 to 12 people: business van or minibus – costs with driver
A minibus with driver for 8 to 12 people costs EUR 600 to 750 per day, EUR 550 to 650 for half a day; the business van for up to 6 people sits in the same price range. Which vehicle fits, what moves the price and up to which group size driving yourself is allowed at all.
Bus logistics software: plan and award large coach projects yourself
Festival shuttles, shift transport, trade fair logistics: as soon as a contract consists of dozens of connected trips, it has so far ended up with a middleman. There is now software for it – for organisers and companies who want to tender themselves, and for bus operators who want to run such projects themselves.
The driver app for bus operators: trips and driving time straight to the phone
Requests, dispatching, invoices – much of a bus operation is long digital. Only with the driver did the paper stay. How the Busly driver app brings tours, driving time and proof to the phone, and why the connection to dispatching is what closes the loop.
Rent a bus for concerts and festivals: how the whole group gets there safely
No designated driver, no parking chaos: from 8 people, the bus is the most relaxed way to get to a concert or festival. Costs, waiting time tips and when to book.
