Coach hire with driver in Amsterdam
When a group is too big for a minibus, a charter coach is the comfortable way to travel in and around Amsterdam. Full-size coaches typically seat about 45 to 57 passengers (approximate), midi coaches about 20 to 35.
Groups charter a coach in Amsterdam for sightseeing at the canal ring, the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House, transfers to conferences, concerts and sports venues, and bus day trips to Keukenhof (in spring), Zaanse Schans, Volendam and Edam and The Hague. Multi-day coach tours can start in Amsterdam and continue to Zaanstad, Purmerend and Hoofddorp and further across Europe.
Good to know: The historic centre is restricted for coaches, so groups are dropped at designated coach stops.

Planning a charter coach in Amsterdam
- Driving and rest times: professional drivers must follow driving and rest-time rules, so long days may need planned breaks, a second driver or an overnight stop.
- Drop-off points: many city centres restrict where coaches can stop and park; the driver plans drop-off and pickup points close to your sights in Amsterdam.
- Luggage and equipment: tell us about suitcases, instruments or sports gear so the bus has enough hold space.
- Book early: coach availability is tighter in peak season and during big events, so request your coach in Amsterdam as early as possible.
