How Coastbus pricing works

Every route is priced per seat class. The standard fare is the entry price for a regular reclining seat. The VIP fare covers the front two rows, which have the widest recline and the most legroom. Where a route shows a single price, all seats cost the same. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare and can be booked in one go by switching the booking form to round trip.

Prices below are the published fares used by the booking engine. The exact total for your seats, date and trip type is always shown before you confirm.

What is the difference between a standard seat and a VIP seat?

Standard seats are priced at the lower end of each route fare range. VIP seats sit in the first two rows of the coach, offer the most legroom and recline, and are priced at the upper end of the range. Both classes are shown side by side on the seat map before you pay, so you always see the exact price for the seat you pick.
