Why go by coach rather than by train?

By coach, everyone boards close to home, there is no changing trains and the group stays together. Purchases from the fair are also easy to bring home.

Where do we get off at the Jaarbeurs?

At the spot designated for coaches. It sometimes varies by event; we agree it in advance and let you know where the coach will be waiting afterwards.

Can you order group tickets?

If the fair's organisers offer group tickets, we can arrange them for you. An administration fee may apply.

Does the driver wait all day?

Yes. While you walk round the fair, the driver takes his compulsory break in the area and then pulls up at the agreed time.

What is the minimum group size for hiring a coach?

Our smallest coach has 30 seats. Above that, we have coaches with up to 66 seats and double-deckers for around 90 passengers.

Coach hire to Jaarbeurs Utrecht.

A trade fair, a hobby show or an open day for school students at the Jaarbeurs? ITS-Reizen picks your group up in Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe or Overijssel and drives everyone with a driver to Utrecht and back home again.

In the heart of the country, easy to reach

The Jaarbeurs is right next to Utrecht Central Station and hosts fairs, events and conferences all year round. There are business trade fairs, but also consumer shows on subjects such as horses, holidays, model making or building and home living.

For a group from the north, a coach of your own is often more practical than the train: everyone boards close to home, there is no changing trains and the group stays together.

Board close to home
No changing trains or parking charges
The same driver for the outward and return journeys
Also for smaller groups of 30 or more

A hobby show with the club

Many clubs visit a consumer show every year that matches their hobby, such as a horse show, a model-making fair or a show for campers. With a coach of your own, it becomes a real club outing. We draw up a route past the members' home towns, with a fixed time at each pick-up point. At the end of the day the coach is ready at the agreed time, so nobody has to walk to the station with heavy bags full of purchases. A coffee stop along the way is possible too.

To an education fair with students

Utrecht regularly hosts fairs about further education and careers for upper-school students. A coach trip with the whole class or year group keeps things simple for the supervisors: everyone leaves school together and comes back together. If the group is too big for one coach, several coaches travel at the same time. To find out how many students fit in which coach, read our article on how many people fit in a coach.

Companies and trade fairs

For a department visiting a trade fair together, the coach is an efficient choice. The group arrives in time for its first appointments and can use the journey to prepare for the day. If staff from different branches are coming along, the coach can stop at several places on the way. Afterwards, the driver returns via the same pick-up points. Would you like to have dinner together after the fair? The coach can take the group to a restaurant before the journey home. Mention it in your request so we can include it in the planning and the driver's working hours.

Arriving at the Jaarbeurs

Around the station and the Jaarbeurs it is busy, and the options for coaches are limited. There is often a fixed spot for letting passengers on and off. We find this out in advance and agree with you where the group gets off and where the driver will be waiting afterwards. Give participants the spot and the departure time beforehand, and the pick-up will go smoothly. At consumer shows at weekends it is extra busy around the station; we allow for this in the departure time, so the group does not have to queue at the entrance when the fair opens.

Tickets for the fair

Group tickets are often available for consumer shows; for trade fairs you usually register online. We can order group tickets for you if the organisers allow it; an administration fee may apply. Just ask in your request. We can also include a lunch on the way or a coffee stop in the programme. That makes it a fully organised day, and all you have to do is let the participants know the departure time and pick-up point. We send you an overview for this that you can forward.
