An away game differs from a club outing in three ways. Equipment is brought along, the date is often only confirmed late, and the return is at night. Those who take this into account when making the request will receive an offer that does not need to be renegotiated later.
Don't calculate based on the squad size, but include everyone who is traveling. This includes the coaching staff, supervisors, physiotherapists, equipment managers, and usually a few family members.
Our vehicles accommodate 8 to 83 people. For a men's team with a support staff, a coach with 35 to 50 seats is usually sufficient. When two teams are playing on the same day, a larger vehicle is often more economical than two smaller ones.
A tip from experience: Plan for a few extra seats. Those who sit closely for 90 minutes after a loss will arrive in a worse mood than necessary.
Jersey bags, balls, drink crates, medical equipment, and additional clothing in winter add up quickly. The luggage compartment of a coach is large, but not unlimited.
When making your request, please specify what will be coming along. We will then let you know if the vehicle is sufficient or if a trailer makes sense. This can be clarified in five minutes and prevents the unpleasant scenario where half is left behind on the day of departure.
For bus drivers, there are legal driving and rest times. These cannot be negotiated, even in the case of extensions or penalty shootouts.
Practically, this means: A game on Saturday evening 300 kilometers away means a return well after midnight. This is feasible, but it must be calculated in advance. For longer distances, a second driver may be necessary, or an overnight stay may ultimately be the better solution.
Therefore, when making the request, please specify the planned kick-off time, not just the date. The rest will follow from that.
After the game, food and drinks will be consumed on the bus, that's part of it. However, please address it beforehand to clarify what is allowed.
Two tips to avoid trouble: Glass bottles are not a good idea on the bus, and whatever is brought along must be taken back. Drivers who receive a clean bus are happy to drive for the club again.
Game rescheduling, make-up dates, and cup draws rarely come with advance notice. We are available around the clock and check availability directly over the phone. With locations in Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, Lautzenhausen at Hahn Airport, and Ramstein-Miesenbach, many issues can also be resolved at short notice.
For an entire season, it is worthwhile to request the fixed dates in a bundled manner. This is more manageable for both sides.
Charges are based on the kilometer. Minibuses start at about €3 to €5 per kilometer, while coaches start at about €4 to €7. For trips with overnight stays, accommodation and meals for the driver are added.
For a reliable quote, we need five pieces of information:
The billing is based on the kilometer, with coaches starting at around 4 to 7 € per kilometer. The exact price depends on the size of the vehicle, the route, and the date.
Yes. All vehicles are rented exclusively with professional, licensed drivers.
In most cases, yes. Please specify the scope in your inquiry, and we will clarify in advance whether a trailer is necessary.
Most of the time yes, but the driving and rest times set the limit. Therefore, we need the kick-off time and not just the date.
Often yes. We are available 24 hours a day and check availability immediately.
Yes, that is better planning for both sides. Please inquire about the fixed dates in a bundle.
Three pieces of information determine a good offer: the start time, the number of passengers including the support staff, and the extent of the equipment. Those who have this information usually receive a reliable number on the same day.
