School Trips Questions
Are the operators licensed to carry children?
Yes. Every operator we quote holds the relevant passenger carrying licence and insurance. If your school requires additional safeguarding documentation, tell the operator when you book and they will provide what you need.
How far ahead should we book?
For day trips, two to three weeks is usually enough. Residential trips and popular weeks in May and July book up early, so we recommend arranging those a term in advance.
Can we get one quote for several days?
Yes. Request a return journey and add your travel dates in the notes, or call us on 0330 133 2459 and we will arrange a multi-day price.
