Coach hire with a driver – charter coaches for groups
Öckeröbussarna runs charter and private hire with a driver for groups in Gothenburg and Skaraborg, never self-drive.
Coach hire
We plan the pickup, route, stops and journey home, from the quote to the last drop-off.
Coach hire at Öckeröbussarna means a coach with a driver – charter and private hire for groups, never self-drive.
This page helps you choose between a one-way transfer, a return trip and a programme with several stops. Start with where the group meets, when you need to arrive and what you are bringing. Those details make it easier to compare options and request a quote you can actually use.
What our coach hire includes
When you hire a coach from us, you get:
- 01 A driver for the whole trip
- 02 A vehicle suited to your group size and luggage
- 03 Planning of the departure, destination, any stops and the return
- 04 A clear quote based on your details
- 05 Wi-Fi is available on board all our coaches.
You do not need to arrange your own driver or take responsibility for the vehicle. You focus on the programme – we take care of the transport.
Charter and private hire – in practice
One-way transfer
For a one-way transfer, give us the departure point, destination and arrival time.
Return trip
For a return trip we also need the address and time for the journey home.
Several stops
If the coach will drive between several places during the day, every stop and any waiting time should be in your request.
Example: the same outing, three different jobs. A one-way transfer ends when the group has been dropped off at the venue. A return trip also includes a pickup for the journey home. If the group also needs the coach to a lunch venue and back during the day, those journeys have to be included too. Tell us which option you want to compare and whether the coach needs to wait on site. The same destination and group size do not mean that two quotes cover the same work.
Which groups is it for?
Companies
Meetings, conferences, kick-offs, client events and staff days where times and stops have to work. company trips by coach, in Swedish
Schools

We take care of the transport.
A quote request is not binding.
Where do we drive?
Coach hire in Skaraborg depots at Varolavägen 16 in Skövde and Stigstaholmsvägen 30 in Tibro 
For trips that start on the islands, see the planning information for Öckerö, where we explain how pickup is planned from the Gothenburg depot. These local pages are in Swedish.
Longer trips in Sweden are planned around the depot, the timetable and your group's needs.
Fleet and choice of vehicle
We suggest a vehicle based on your group size and luggage. Our largest coaches seat 50–60 passengers, depending on the coach. If you would like our most exclusive option, the Mercedes Sprinter with a chauffeur, mention VIP Sprinter in your quote request. We check availability and whether the vehicle suits the trip before a booking is confirmed. Read more about the VIP bus in Gothenburg.
Tell us both the number of passengers and the amount and type of luggage, for example suitcases or the team's equipment. A small group does not by itself tell us how much luggage space you need. The vehicle and space are confirmed for your specific trip.
What does coach hire with a driver cost?
You get a price per trip in the quote. For coach hire with a driver, the price depends on factors including:
- 01 Date and day of the week tell us if you have alternative travel dates
- 02 Route and total driving time list the addresses and your preferred arrival time
- 03 Waiting time and number of stops describe what the coach is needed for between the outward and return journeys
- 04 Choice of vehicle mention any preferences we should check
- 05 Number of passengers and luggage include equipment beyond personal luggage
We give a quote based on your trip. When you compare proposals, check that the same addresses, times, stops, return and luggage are included. If the programme changes, the basis for the quote needs to be checked again too.
A quote request is not binding and does not reserve a vehicle. Send the details you have and mark which times or stops are still provisional. We will come back with a proposal based on your plan and availability.

Frequently asked questions about coach hire
Is it self-drive or with a driver?
With a driver. All our coach hire comes with a driver.
What do we need to tell you for a one-way transfer compared with a return trip?
For a one-way transfer we need the pickup address, destination and times. For a return trip, also give us the address and departure time for the journey home. Tell us if you need the coach while you are there, as waiting time and extra journeys affect the plan.
How quickly do we get a quote?
Once you have sent complete details (date, departure, destination, group size and times), we will come back to you as soon as we can. Feel free to call if the trip is urgent.
Can the trip have several stops?
Yes. Tell us about breaks, meals and any drop-offs or pickups, and we will build a driving schedule that fits the day.
What does it mean to charter a coach?
Chartering a coach means you hire a whole coach with a driver for your group's own trip, also called private hire. The coach runs only for you, to your addresses and times. Want to compare options before you decide? A quote request is not binding.
