How often does the coach stop on the way?

On a longer journey we always plan a coffee stop, and on a full day a lunch stop too. If you would like to stop more often, let us know; we will adjust the schedule accordingly.

Can a rollator come on the coach?

Yes, a folding rollator usually goes in the luggage hold. Let us know in advance how many rollators and wheelchairs are coming, and the driver will allow for them.

Can we put the programme together with you?

Certainly. Tell us what the group would like, how long the day can last and how much walking people can manage. We will help you put together a suitable programme and timings.

What if someone feels unwell on the way?

The driver will then stop at a safe place. For situations like this, always bring a carer and a list of participants' contact details. If medical help is needed, the carer or the driver calls the emergency number.

How far in advance should we request a seniors' trip?

For a day trip, a few weeks in advance is often enough; for a trip of several days with a hotel, a few months is better. Spring and the holiday season are busier, so request a quote in good time.

Coach hire for a seniors' trip.

A day out with the older people's association, a trip for the residents of a care home or a few days away with the seniors' club: ITS-Reizen drives your group with a regular driver, at a relaxed pace and with plenty of breaks. We pick everyone up close to home and bring them back at the end of the day.

A day out without the rush

For older travellers, the journey itself is a big part of the outing. A comfortable seat, a driver who drives calmly and a coffee stop at the right moment make all the difference. That is why we plan the day with room to spare: no tight schedule, but clear timings.

We drive for local branches of older people's associations, seniors' clubs, church groups for older people, care homes and assisted living groups. From an afternoon past the bulb fields to a trip of several days with a hotel.

Day trips at a relaxed pace

A good day trip for seniors has a clear rhythm: leaving on time, coffee on the way, a programme without too much walking and a lunch or dinner somewhere everyone can sit comfortably. We are happy to suggest suitable destinations, such as a boat trip, a garden, a museum or a small town with an easy-to-navigate centre. In spring a trip to Keukenhof is popular. The driver drops the group as close to the entrance as possible.

Rollators, wheelchairs and boarding

Many participants walk with a rollator or stick, or spend part of the day in a wheelchair. A folding rollator or wheelchair usually goes in the luggage hold; let us know in advance how many are coming and we will allow for them when loading. The driver takes his time when people get on and off and helps where he can. If someone cannot board independently, bring a carer and discuss with us beforehand what is needed. That way everyone knows what to expect and the day gets off to a smooth start.

Pick-up close to home

The shorter the walk to the pick-up point, the better. So we call at a few fixed points, such as the village hall, the church or the entrance of the care home, and drop everyone off at the same place at the end of the day. At a care home, the coach can often come close to the front door; let us know where the coach can stop and turn. Send us the list of pick-up points well in advance, so we can work out the route and times and everyone gets a clear pick-up time.

A trip of several days with a hotel

A few days away is the highlight of the year for many seniors' groups. The coach takes the group to the hotel, makes excursions in the surrounding area during the stay and drives back home at the end. If you wish, we can help book the hotel and entrance tickets; an administration fee may apply. When choosing a hotel, we look together with you at things like a lift and short walking distances. On long journeys we plan enough breaks, within the driver's driving and rest times.

For care homes and assisted living groups

An outing for residents calls for extra preparation: carers, medication, mobility aids and a programme that does not last too long. We fit the departure and return times around the care home's daily routine, for example so that everyone is back before the evening meal. Carers travel on the coach and sit with the residents. Let us know the number of residents, carers and mobility aids when you enquire, and we will advise you on the best coach and how much time to allow for boarding and alighting.
