What to know before you board
The biggest network, and the busiest
Caribe Tours covers nearly the whole country, so its morning departures sell out first. Mid afternoon runs usually have more space.
Checked luggage gets a tag
You receive a numbered stub for your suitcase. Keep it: without it they may not release your luggage on arrival.
Fares revised in May 2026
Prices went up in May 2026 on several routes. Any fare you see on older blogs is out of date.
Wifi and a movie on board
Long distance coaches usually have patchy wifi and a movie playing loud. Bring headphones.
Timetables change without notice
Published timetables are indicative and may come from initial research pending verification. We check availability and the time for your date before arranging a ticket.
We never put you on the last departure of the day
A later departure may provide an alternative if there is a disruption, but it depends on availability and operator conditions. It does not guarantee another seat.
