About Van Bogget Travels
Van Bogget Reizen has been a reliable partner for your coach and bus transport for more than 50 years. Jozef van Bogget started the company in 1958 with one bus. Our fleet now consists of about twenty coaches and buses. The coaches are very comfortable and most are equipped with a hot and cold drinks bar, toilet, microwave, DVD player and digital television. This way you always arrive at your destination rested and relaxed. The varied fleet offers options for transporting 8 to 80 people. The wide variety of buses and coaches makes it possible to respond flexibly to customer wishes.
What does Van Bogget offer?
Van Bogget organizes one- and multi-day group trips, cycling holidays, etc. in consultation with you. Transport to and from your event is also possible. We provide staff and student transport on a contract basis and we also provide transport for youth and sports clubs. It is of course also possible to rent just a coach plus driver. We ensure that our driver is at the departure and arrival location exactly at the agreed times. So you can enjoy a carefree day.

Safety
Van Bogget attaches great importance to safety. Our well-trained drivers strictly adhere to driving and rest times. The young coaches and buses (the oldest dates from 2005, the newest was purchased in 2010) are maintained in our own garage and are fitted with winter tires every autumn. Read the regulations regarding driving and rest times for a coach driver here.
Better environment
Did you know that coach transport contributes to a better environment? Because one coach equals 30 fewer cars on the road. The coach only emits 0.33 kg of CO 2 per passenger/kilometre. That is equivalent to twice less than the train, four times less than the car and even six times less than the plane.

News from the FBAA
On Monday 14/11 last, the FBAA sent the press release below to all media to draw the attention of consumers
to draw attention to the need for coach companies to adjust their prices, taking into account the significant increase in costs. The Federation of Belgian Bus and Coach Entrepreneurs and of Tour Organizers (FBAA) is the only Belgian professional association that represents the private companies of collective road passenger transport by bus and coach. The FBAA underlines the major influence of the significant price increases of various essential elements such as gas oil and tires on the cost of coach travel. The evolution over the last 12 months fluctuates between 4.36% for day trips and 6.75% for international transport. Despite the optimization of management and the increasing use of the most environmentally friendly vehicles, the coach companies cannot bear all these increases themselves. They are therefore obliged to include them in the sales price. The FBAA emphasizes that coach travel offers an unparalleled price/quality ratio and is the most sustainable form of tourism represent.
