4. What is the "Departing From" search?
We have introduced the abilty to search for your pickup in an area so you can select an area that includes your rough location. These are selectable from the drop down box and will only give you tours that have your pick up in. If your pickup is not listed, then there are no tours avaialble with your pick up choice.
Back To Top5. What does "Please Call" mean
This appears instead of "TROLLEY" when either there are no seats avaiable on a coach, no accommodation or requirement at the resort or in the event of a tour in the process of being cancelled. This give you the opportunity to call and discuss options or be placed on a waiting list for your chosen tour.
Back To Top6. My pick up point is not listed?
There are a number of reasons why this may be the case.
1: The filter only lists the first 25 pick ups closest to your postcode. Click 'Clear Filter' to list all our pick up points.
2: Limited pick up points. This is the complete list available for your chosen departure.
3: Due to operational reasons, the pick up is not available. After we work out particular routes, these may be the only pick up points that are available.
7. I cannot find my pick up point
All our pick up points are listed Alphabetically. If you cannot find it, press your CTRL & F button, which will bring up a search window. Type 1 word from your pick up, EG, Holly and allow the search facility to find it for you.
We have now introduced a filter based on your postcode. Click on filter and it will reveal the closest 5 pick up points to your home address.
8. Where can I find a list of pick up points?
A list of operative pickups will be available on a particular tour/break or from our current brochure.
NB: Not all tours utilse all operative pick ups, please see each departure which lists the ones available

Deposits are FROM: £65 per person for British and Continental Tours; £99 per person for London Theatre Breaks; £200 for Grand Prix, Disney & Flight tours. The full balance is payable 8 - 10 weeks before departure;
* Plus insurance if required
10. Can I book specific seats?
No. You can request a specific seat and we will do our utmost to grant your seating request, but we do reserve the right to alter seat allocation dependant on coach size and numbers travelling or in the case of combining tours. If your seats are not together, we will inform you as soon as we are able.
For web bookings, seats are allocated on a seat availability basis and we cannot guarantee that they will be together, though we will do our utmost to arrange seats in office hours. However, normal booking terms and conditions will still apply in regards to cancellation due to seating configuration.
11. When will I get confirmation of my booking?
You will receive a provisional notification (This is not a Confirmation of Booking) instantly if you book online followed by an emailed Confirmation during office hours or within 7 days if you ring one of our offices. 7 days before you travel, you will receive your travel tickets & luggage labels by post.
Please remember to check ALL DETAILS on your confirmation as we do charge an administration charge for any changes after we send your travel ticket.
If you do NOT receive an email, check your "Junk / Spam" email and be sure to add reservations@edwardscoaches.co.uk to your address book. Also, please check in your account that you have spelt your email address correctly!
Some clients will not accept attachments.

If you made your reservation through our offices, then you cannot make a payment online.
13. I am not able to view the insurance or confirmation even though I have Adobe?

Events are Special Events, such as a Stadium tour or an event that is not a concert or show.

No. Your Balance Due Date is printed on your Confirmation and Invoice and you must log in to your account or ring us to pay the balance. If you pay by a credit card, you will have to give us your details again as we do NOT keep credit card details on file.
However, if we find an overdue balance, we may call to advise of late payment.
17. How can I find out "How much will my holiday cost"?
If you click on "Book now", this will give you a guide price to the cost of your holiday or daytrip. This does not include any single supplements, additional costs or discounts.
Back To Top18. Do you have Car Park facilities at your Offices?

On these tours, we don't use a "Feeder" system, we have 1 coach which will pick up all passengers and possibly transfer to a main coach or be the main coach itself.
Back To Top20. Can I take a wheelchair/walking frame/Motorised scooter?
As long as it is a non mechanical chair, then yes but spaces are strictly limited and you MUST inform the reservation staff at the time of booking.
For all mechanical chairs/scooters, you must be Registered Disabled and provide us with your badge number when making this request and these must be flat packed and you must also be able to carry them and be able to load these onto the coach yourself.
Our drivers are duty bound to reserve the right to refuse to lift these without your help.
If you have NOT clearly requested on your booking to bring your scooter, our drivers have been instructed to refuse to place them on the vehicle. No refund or compensation is payable if you do not adhere to this condition and your scooter can be left at your pick up point.

Generally, no, however:-
Flight Tours - We can be charged different fares for flights depending on when booked and often charged at different supplements.

24. Passport Advice
PASSPORT NOTES AND ADVICE
The United Kingdom is no longer a part of the European Union (EU) therefore you are required to carry a full British 10-year passport (or five-year child passport if you are under 16 and not on a parent's passport) every time you travel to Europe. This includes day trips and travel by Eurostar and you must have your passport for checking at relevant border / immigration control when you leave & return to the UK.
When does your passport expire?
You may need to renew your British passport earlier if you’re travelling to an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.
On the day you travel, you’ll need your passport to both:
- have at least 6 months validity left
- be less than 10 years old (even if it has 6 months or more left)
These rules do not apply to travel to Ireland. You can continue to use your passport as long as it’s valid for the length of your stay.
Useful Advice
Before you leave, make sure that:
* you have filled in details of your next of kin on the last page of your passport
* you have noted down your passport number and its date of issue and have put these details in a safe place, separate from your passport
* you have made a photocopy of your passport details page (usually inside the back cover) and left it with a friend
* you take one other form of photo ID with you
* any children who are travelling on your passport will still be under 16 by the end of your journey (if not, they will need their own passport - a child passport if they are under 16 at the start of their travels and an adult one if they will be 16 before they set out).
25. Do you sell Gift Vouchers?
Yes, Holiday Gift Vouchers are available in denominations of £10, £25 & £50 and can be redeemed against any of our tours. Please ring our offices to purchase. (These are NOT available online)
