Availability and scarcity in Barcelona for coach hires
As the city and surroundings of Barcelona are both a holiday as business tourism destination the high season is longer than in other cities around Spain.
Coach hire in Barcelona during January-February and since April
Consider the month of January and February as very low season in Barcelona as in other Spanish cities. March could be called Mid-season and if Easter is late you could include April to mid-season as well. Expect scarcity and to pay top rates in the weeks before Easter and this high season continues for 6 months.
High Season since September
After a slight drop in August, Barcelona has a high peak for congresses and business tourism in September and you can expect scarcity again for that month. October is medium-high and November till the 1st week of December is medium again but expect another period of scarcity in the weeks before Christmas due to company outings. Planning your day trips or tours in the quiet weeks can easily save you up to 30-40% compared with high season.
Minibus rental in Barcelona gives more freedom than coach hire
If your plan is to cruise the narrow streets of the old city center of Barcelona a 20-25 seater minibus rental might be a better plan than having a large 50 seater coach. Consider splitting your group in 2 parts to allow more flexibility in driving, choosing different routes, and parking.
As there is so much to see for tourist groups in Barcelona city and its surroundings choosing between all options might be a tough task and even create disagreement within your group. Offering 2 or multiple routes for day trips might be a good solution so respond to all sub-groups within your group.
Minibus rental in Barcelona for coast and beach tours
Although the highway system around Barcelona is in very good shape the main roads are inland and do not follow the scenic coastal route which connects Barcelona with beautiful villages like Palamos, L’Escala, and Cadaques. The closer you want to drive to the coast the smaller the vehicle must be. Therefore a minibus rental in Barcelona is a better way to enjoy the more remote areas and small ‘calas’ (beaches) which are very hard to access with a big bus. If you plan to do a cost trip in order to find quiet and remote beaches please specify about it with your minibus rental company because they can advise you best about which beaches are accessible and which are not.
Trust your minibus rental Barcelona and coach operator
Your Barcelona coach hire company will know various routes to drive you and your group along all mayor sites in this city. Make sure to adapt the Barcelona day trip to the interest of the group by checking before you plan. Not all tourists are fans of Mr. Pablo Picasso’s paintings or fond of Tibidabo’s attraction park rollercoasters. Make a priority list with a separation between what must or should be seen and visited during you Barcelona bus tour
Parking the minibus or coach in Barcelona
When touring from another city with a group on a bus, the bus rental company should make arrangements with the hotel as to where to park the bus.
Although parking a bus or coach in front of a hotel is normally not permitted, you can ask the bus driver to drop your group and their luggage off at the main entrance. Depending on the size and type of hotel you have reserved, there may be luggage porters or concierges to take care of your bags. Some hotels or hostels don"t have concierges or luggage porters but do have luggage carts that clients can use. If you are carrying a lot of luggage without wheels, then check with your hotel before you book to see if they can accommodate you.
