FAQ

How long does the trip take?

The trip usually lasts from 6.5 to 9 hours to Belgrade which means that the minibus arrives to Belgrade between 3 and 4 AM. It all depends on weather, possible standstills and waiting times on Serbian-Hungarian border crossing.

Why is the minibus fare so low?

Our vehicles do not use typical bus station parking lots and we do not pay the station use fees.
We try to be flexible, i.e. we include as many vehicles as necessary according to the number of people applied. This means that our vehicles do not travel half-empty which lowers the expenses which again leads to our prices being lower than competitors’.
We do not have stands for bying tickets which may be purchased on the minibus directly from the driver who gives out the receipt.
Our vehicles are registered as traveller vehicles and we pay the lowest high-way fees.
We do not hire expensive administrative staff. All the work is done by our external staff.

How much do children pay?

Since our vehicles are registered as traveller vehicles every person needs to have their own seat which means that children pay as much as adults.

Why do not we take our passengers to their home address in Belgrade and Novi Sad?

Belgrade and Novi Sad are big cities and taking our passengers to their home address would take a lot of time having in mind that these cities have very efficient taxi services. The second reason is that our drivers do not know these cities very well which makes the whole problem even bigger. However, in small villages that are on our list of stops, we do take passengers home back from Slovakia since the time of arrival is between 1 and 4 A.M. and there are no taxi services to take over.

In case I am not able to cross the border from some reason do I get a refund?

We do not offer a refund in case it turns out that you are not able to cross the border due to lack of documentation required or because of possession of forbidden goods.
