Making a booking

FlixBus App and website

The easiest way to book a trip is using our main page both on the website or App.

Choose your departure and destination, select the date(s) of your travel and add the number of passengers.

At the end of the online booking, a confirmation will appear on your screen. Check it carefully so that if you notice any mistake you can quickly change it online.

You will also receive your booking confirmation by e-mail.

Please do not forget to mention your mobile phone number during the booking process as we inform about any changes on your ride both via SMS and e-mail.

Travel agencies and ticket outlets

If you want to purchase your ticket offline, find a FlixShop or ticket reseller near you. Our colleagues on site offer the same tariffs you can find on FlixBus website, plus the possibility to pay in cash. Please note that reselling agencies and FlixShops charge an additional Agency Fee. Read more about the Agency Fee.

At the bus

If there are free seats, you can buy a ticket from the bus driver.* When purchasing a ticket from the bus driver, vouchers cannot be redeemed. The payment receipt is both your ticket and your booking confirmation. Please note that early bird tickets are only available online.

Note: On-board purchasing is not available in the United States, Canada, Brazil or Mexico. Tickets must be purchased online or from a FlixBus ticket sales point.

Website 

You can choose the language of the website using the flag in the upper right corner of the website. The currency depends on the language of the website, so if you are using the website in English US, the currency will be United States dollar (USD). It is not possible to choose language and currency independently. 

App 

The language of the app depends on the language you set on your phone. To change the currency, go to App Settings and select the currency.

Here you can see the full list of official ticket resellers. Search for your location and a list of all the ticket sales points will appear next to the map.

Fees

Some payment methods involve fees added by third-party providers. There is always at least one payment method that is free of charge. There is an Agency Fee when purchasing a ticket from travel agencies and ticket outlets in our shops. View our agency fees for shops.

In some countries, a service fee applies for online purchases.

It goes without saying that you will always get a seat on our buses but if you want you can also reserve it during the booking process. The price for seat reservation depends on the seat type and the journey distance. Read more about seat reservation pricing.

Cancelling or changing seat reservation

You can change or cancel your seat reservation via our online tool. 

Groups

Reserved seats are not assigned to specific people in your booking. Any member of the group can take any of the reserved seats category.

In some of our buses, seat reservation is not available.

Yes, you automatically receive an invoice sent via e-mail.

If you need an invoice with an address, tick the Add billing address box during the booking process.

To add an invoice address to your booking, log in to Manage My Booking and open the "Invoice section".

From here, you can change the address by clicking "Change billing address".

Please note that as soon as the billing address has been changed, a new invoice will be generated.

On the new invoice, there will be no indication of the price of the ticket, and the amount of the invoice will be 0.

This is because only the billing details have been changed. No price has been paid.

Note: Amendments to invoices are only available before the ride takes place. Once the ride is completed, changes can no longer be made.

If you want to download your invoice you can also do it online. Log in to Manage My Booking to access the "Invoice section".
