When budgeting for sports teams, the biggest challenge is to find the right type of travel and the right kind of accommodation as these are the costliest items on the team’s expense list. Factors that influence decisions are multiple, including size of the team, equipment to be carried, distance between accommodation and the sports facility, access to parking facilities, road conditions, etc. Air travel may shorten actual travel time, but incur extra cost including air fares, luggages fares, shuttle bus fares, etc. On the other hand, renting a coach or hiring a bus may be a more favourable solution when the distance is not too long. Therefore finding  the right type of transportation solution is not only a question of budget, but also strategy and experience. Selecting a motor coach for travel has a lot of advantages, including a door-to-door service, constant availability of the vehicle during daily transfers from hotel to the sports facilities, and also transportation within the city including trips to restaurants, events, or free-time activities. To optimize for time-management and cost, it is advisable to provide detailed plans well in advance before the travel so that the availability of the right type of coach bus can be ensured and also an experienced driver can be found who has extensive knowledge of the area and any languages required. As sports events are peak-times in tourism, both accomodation and transportation has to be booked well in advance to get the most favourable prices.

Transporting sports fans is another, slightly different challenge for the transportation and bus hire specialist. Large events require a simultaneous transportation of many passengers which is a serious technical difficulty for a coach bus operator. Depending on the size and location of the sports event, thousands or – in extreme cases – tens of thousands of people need to be taken to the venues by buses or any other means of transportation. Such a big demand challenges bus operators, and calls for creative solutions. Many coach hire businesses would not only utilize their own buses, but also contract with public transport partners and transportation companies from surrounding cities. During mega sports events like world cups and championships all suitable coaches are hired or let out, which makes it difficult for individual projects to hire a private bus. However, established knowledge of the industry helps even under such difficult conditions to find creative solutions to transportation problems. Call in advance to hire larger fleets for your fans without issues. In case of late enquiries due to bureaucratic or other reasons, we will try our best to provide a suitable solution to gather a fleet of buses to transport fans or supporters. However during these peak times price ranges rise and availability cannot be taken for granted.
