When the difference is noticeable

  • When the group wants to travel together and depart at the same time.
  • If there is luggage (airport, cruises, excursions) or work equipment.
  • For services with stops: hotels, BEC, Euskalduna, restaurants.

What is coordinated before the service

  • Meeting point (easy to find and clear).
  • Vehicle according to seats and luggage.
  • Realistic schedules and stop order.

Practical tip: if luggage space is tight, it is better to move up one category and travel comfortably, without improvisation.
