What are the luggage allowance restrictions for buses?

Baggage Allowance:

• Passengers are generally entitled to 1 piece of checked luggage (suitcase) and 1 piece of hand luggage.
• The weight limit for a large piece of luggage varies by company but is usually restricted to between 20 and 30 kg.
• Hand luggage should generally be of a size that can be placed in the overhead compartments on the bus and should weigh between 5 and 10 kg.

Extra Baggage Fees:

• If your luggage exceeds the specified weight or size limits, some companies may charge an additional fee. This fee is calculated based on the weight or volume of the luggage.

Dangerous and Prohibited Items:

• For safety reasons, the carriage of hazardous materials (flammable, explosive or harmful chemicals) is prohibited on buses.
• Furthermore, large pets or live animals are not accepted by most companies (small pets must be in a carrier).

Valuables:

• Although suitcases carried in the luggage compartment are under security, companies generally do not accept liability for valuable items (electronic devices, jewellery, cash). It is recommended that such items be carried in hand luggage.

Special Circumstances:

• If you are travelling with large or special items such as sports equipment or musical instruments, there may be additional rules for such items. In this case, it would be helpful to contact the bus company before your journey and explain the situation.
