Reasons For Choosing Ulsterbus Educational Tours
Travel with Ulsterbus Educational Tours in the knowledge that you have the support and back-up of one of Northern Ireland's leading companies.
Our relationships with other major companies throughout Europe, our contacts with Europe's leading coach manufacturers and our membership of its Confederation of Passenger Transport ensure that wherever you are in Europe, you and your school can travel with Peace of Mind.
Because we believe it to be important for you to be adequately insured we have arranged special holiday insurance packages with AXA Insurance (UK) PLC.
Coaches:
Unlike most other tour operators, we own all the coaches used on our tours. This allows us to ensure that vehicles are maintained in our garages to the highest possible standards by professionally trained staff.
Drivers:
Our drivers are one of our greatest assets! They are friendly, caring and fun to be with. When selecting them, we pay particular attention to their driving skills (many are members of the Institute of Advanced Motorists) as well as their geographical knowledge. They will take responsibility for travel documents such as ferry tickets and admission..."its like having an extra teacher!".
Accommodation:
Ulsterbus has excellent relationships with an unequalled range of providers, ranging from quality hotels to the premier properties amongst the various hostel and budget accommodation groups throughout Europe - all of which we personally inspect on a regular basis.
Safety:
We comply strictly with all EU driving regulations, paying particular attention to drivers' hours and we are well ahead of seat belt legislation.
District Managers:
We have District Managers in all major towns in Northern Ireland, offering personal contact and advice on your doorstep.
Financial Security:
European directives place heavy financial responsibility on anyone operating a tour! Ulsterbus Tours are protected not only by the financial strength of Ulsterbus, but also by a bond with the Bank of Ireland, and our membership of BCH (Bonded Coach Holidays) of the Confederation of Passenger Transport.
Ferries:
As the major tour operator in Northern Ireland, we have well established working relationships with all the major ferry companies. This ensures generous space allocation and the most competitive rates.
VAT Reclaim:
We will ensure that you receive every assistance in reclaiming the VAT element of your school holiday;
1. Get Education Board approval.
2. We issue a VAT invoice and you pay the board - less the VAT.
3. The Education Board will pay us the full amount.
Free School Pick-ups:
Our Northern Ireland-wide network means that all our school tours start and end at your school - no need for costly connections!
We offer many other attractive features such as luggage labels, savings cards, educational information packs and passport advice, but most important of all, scrupulous attention to detail and a state-of-the-art planning service, which enables you to design your own special tour.
