I’ve been planning a group trip across Europe for months, and I finally decided to rent a bus. But I realized I had no idea what documents are needed! It caught me off guard when the company asked for some paperwork. I had to scramble to get our itinerary and IDs sorted. Does anyone know exactly what’s required to rent a bus in Europe? It would’ve saved me a headache to have this info upfront.

You’re not alone—it can definitely be confusing! Most companies ask for a few standard things, like the driver’s license, proof of ID, and sometimes an itinerary or rental agreement signed in advance. If you’re hiring a bus with a driver, it’s much simpler because the company handles most of it. I rented a bus for our team trip to Amsterdam last year, and Bus-EU made it super easy. They just needed our basic details and group information. If you’re curious, this bus with driver Amsterdam option is great because they guide you through the whole process.

Good question! I’ve never rented a bus myself, but it makes sense that companies would need some documents to keep everything legal and organized. I guess having a plan in place, like an itinerary, is super helpful too. It sounds like hiring a bus with a driver is much more hassle-free for groups compared to handling it all on your own. Definitely something I’d consider for a trip!
