I want to travel with children

The safety of our little passengers is especially important to us.

Therefore, please note the following:

Travel within India

Children up to 3 years (not yet 3 years old) can travel for free on the lap of their parent or guardian.

No ticket is required and no seat is assigned.

Please remember that the child's ID must be presented to the host for verification.

We recommend parents or guardians traveling with children to bring their own child car seat with a seat belt adapter. In this case, a ticket purchase for the child is requested.

Children up to 14 years (not yet 14 years old) must always be accompanied by an adult.

Children between 14 and 17 years can travel alone with a declaration of consent from their parent or guardian (you agree to the conditions by clicking the control field during booking process).

Please understand that our bus drivers cannot provide any supervision for children.

Please make sure that your child has all necessary documents.

Travel outside of India

For rides operated in other markets, please refer to the relevant T&C.
