Frequently asked questions

Bakker Travel has an extensive and varied fleet. The number of seats varies per bus or coach from 17 to 88 passengers. See our fleet page for more information.
No more people may be carried than there are seats.

The coach has room for up to 5 wheelchairs. Various combinations are possible.

Wi-Fi is available on the hop-on hop-off buses.

Most buses have a toilet. A coffee machine and DVD are available.

In fact, Bakker Travel does not use buses, only coaches. By a bus, we mean a scheduled service or public transport bus without any facilities. A coach is a more luxurious bus with comfortable, adjustable seats, a toilet, a DVD player and possibly bar facilities and air conditioning.

Yes, on a moving coach all passengers are required to wear seat belts, provided they are fitted in the coach. When seat belts are fitted, wearing them is compulsory and it is forbidden to walk around in a moving coach, except to visit the toilet.

Yes, you are insured while on the coach. This is even required by law. This insurance is valid while you are on the coach. Once you have got off, this insurance of course no longer applies. For this, you can usually take out travel insurance (also through us).

Catering on board is possible on request. This can consist of drinks, but snacks and luxury sandwiches are also possible. During day trips, we usually stop at a restaurant along the way for refreshments.

No, since the change in the Tobacco Act it is strictly forbidden to smoke on the coach.

This is regulated in the Dutch Working Hours Decree (the ‘driving times act’), which distinguishes between working time and driving time. Working time is all the time a driver is working, including waiting time, breaks and driving time. For example, waiting time during a day trip counts as working time. Driving time is the actual time a driver spends driving. Standing still in a traffic jam counts as driving time. There are exceptions, but broadly speaking a driver may drive 9 hours a day and work a maximum of 15 hours (including driving). After that, a period of 11 consecutive hours of rest is compulsory. This rest period may occasionally be shortened to 9 hours. More information about this legislation can be found on the website of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate.

Bakker Travel has entered into a partnership with Europeesche Verzekeringen. If you wish, you can take out insurance through us for an excursion or a multi-day trip.

If you have made an online booking with us, you will automatically receive a confirmation by email. If you would rather receive the confirmation by post, you can say so when booking by phone. Have you booked a day trip or excursion with Hooyberg Busreizen? You will receive your travel documents one week before the day of departure.

It is possible to eat a snack you have brought yourself on the coach. For a full lunch or dinner, we arrange a stop at a restaurant along the way.
