ITS-Reizen

Coach hire to Defqon.1.

Heading to Defqon.1 with a group of friends? ITS-Reizen takes you to the hardstyle festival in Biddinghuizen in your own coach with a driver and picks you up again afterwards. Leave together, arrive together and get home safely after the festival.

Hardstyle in Biddinghuizen

Defqon.1 is a major hardstyle festival, usually held in June in Biddinghuizen, in the province of Flevoland. Visitors come for a single day or stay the whole weekend on the campsite.

With a coach of your own, nobody has to drive after a long festival day. We pick the group up at a fixed spot, drop everyone off where coaches are allowed to stop and come back at the agreed time.

  • For a day visit or a weekend with camping
  • Board at one or more places
  • Nobody has to drive home
  • Several coaches at once for a large group

One day or the whole weekend

If your group is only going for one festival day, we drive you there and wait nearby until the group is ready to go home. During that time the driver takes his compulsory rest. If the group is staying the whole weekend on the campsite, we plan an outward journey and a separate return journey on the last day. Let us know in your request which option you are choosing, so we can work with the right times and journeys. If you are unsure, we are happy to help you decide what suits your group best, for example if some of the group are only going on the Saturday.

Late back at night

On a day visit, the festival often finishes late. A driver may not work unlimited hours and is entitled to fixed rest periods. We therefore plan the day so that the return journey fits within those rules, adding a second driver if needed. For the group, that means a safe journey home, even in the middle of the night. Do agree in advance what time you really want to leave. A coach leaving at midnight is planned differently from one that only leaves at two in the morning after the last act.

Where the coach stops

At a festival of this size, separate traffic rules often apply around the site, and coaches usually get their own spot to stop. We agree in advance where the group gets off and where the coach will be waiting afterwards, consulting the organisers where necessary. You receive these arrangements from us in writing, so the whole group knows where to be at the end. If the spot changes because of crowds or instructions from the traffic marshals, the driver will call the group's contact person.

Arrangements for a pleasant journey

We think it is important that everyone on the coach has a good journey. That is why we agree arrangements in advance with the group organiser about behaviour on board, departure times and who the driver's point of contact is. With one fixed contact person in the group, questions on the way are sorted quickly, and the driver knows straight away who to turn to if anything changes. After booking we also send the arrangements by email, so the organiser can easily forward them to the group.

Pick-ups in the north

We drive from Bolsward and pick up groups throughout the north of the Netherlands. The coach can stop at several places, so not everyone has to drive to one point first. Would you like to travel with a larger group in one vehicle, using our double-decker, or with several coaches, or is comfort on the journey important to you? Just mention it in your request. Include the places and the number of people at each.

Frequently asked questions

Does the coach wait during a day visit?
Yes, on a day visit the driver stays nearby and takes his compulsory rest. He is back at the coach in time for the moment you have agreed together.
Can you pick us up on the last day of camping?
Yes. For a weekend with camping, we plan an outward journey and a separate return journey on the day you want to go home.
What if the festival finishes late?
Then we plan the return journey within the driver's driving and rest times. Where necessary, a second driver comes along.
Can you arrange festival tickets?
Just ask. Where the organisers sell group tickets, we are happy to help with the booking; an administration fee may apply.
What do you need from us for a quote?
The date, the number of passengers, the pick-up points and whether you are planning a day visit or a weekend with camping.
