Can ITS-Reizen provide transport for a study trip abroad?

Yes, we provide coach transport for multi-day trips to destinations across Europe.

Is a second driver needed?

That depends on the distance and the schedule. On long journeys without an overnight stay, a second driver is often needed because of the driving and rest times.

Which documents are needed?

A valid identity document for everyone. Some countries have extra requirements, such as a passport and ETA for the United Kingdom, or a visa.

Study trip abroad by coach

By coach to Berlin, Paris or Prague: for many schools, the study trip is a fixed part of the year. Travelling by coach, the group stays together and the luggage simply comes along on board. These are the main points to consider.

Travel documents

Everyone must carry a valid identity document. Some countries have extra requirements: for the United Kingdom, for example, a passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) are needed, and some destinations require a visa. Check this well in advance, including for pupils of other nationalities. The operator may ask to see the documents.

Driving and rest times

Long journeys are subject to European driving and rest times: the driver takes a break after no more than 4.5 hours at the wheel and in principle drives no more than 9 hours a day. For distant destinations, a second driver or a stopover with an overnight stay may therefore be needed. We draw up a schedule that stays within these limits.

The programme on location

Will the coach also be used at the destination, for example for excursions? Send us the programme in advance. The driver's rest times apply there too, which determines how early and how late the coach can run.

Passenger list and medical matters

Keep an up-to-date list of all participants and let us know in advance if anyone has a disability or condition that could affect the trip.

Luggage

One suitcase per person is usually no problem. The operator may refuse luggage over 20 kilos per person, so let us know in advance if a lot of luggage or heavy luggage is coming along.
