After reading some of the reviews I was a little skeptical to use FlixBus for my Brussels to Amsterdam trip, but took a chance since it was such a short ride and so much cheaper than some other alternatives. I was pleasantly surprised! They were right where they said they'd be to do the pickup early in the morning. I booked online in advance and just showed the driver my Apple Wallet QR code on my phone, and we were off! They have a baggage hold under the bus for your actual suitcase/luggage so you are able to free up space on board and just bring your purse or backpack/snacks to your seat. They have WiFi on board, which got a little spotty in areas, but did work most of the time. There is also a USB port above each seat, so I was able to get my phone charged up and ready to go for the rest of the day once we reached Amsterdam! There is also a screen at the front of the bus showing what is in front of you, so you can watch the route you are on. One thing I really appreciated: they had little feet pedals at each seat so your feet have somewhere to rest. I have short legs so often times they are just swinging uncomfortably on these types of bus seats, so I loved that feature! And the seats are pretty comfy too, from my experience. The staff was very nice on the trip from Brussels to Amsterdam. My friend felt a little queasy as we boarded, so the driver said she should sit up front in the "jump seat" next to him so that she could get a little more fresh air than at the back of the bus and also have the less "bumpy" seat that is more centered over the front wheel. Overall for this short route (2.5 hours) it was definitely manageable and comfortable, and a lot more inexpensive than some alternatives

Not only was my first bus delayed by 45 minutes, then the bus stopped at a different, unannounced bus stop in the bus loop and left without me, but then their second bus was also late, which made me miss my flight and have to buy a new flight. I tried to speak to 5 different bus drivers, none of which spoke German or English (this was in Germany btw), so no one would help me, and kept pointing to the bus announcement which no longer had my bus number on it since it was already well past 30 minutes over its original departure time. Customer Services more or less said they are not responsible and that they will not refund anything. Very "not our problem" kind of attitude. I would not recommend this transportation method unless you absolutely have all the time in the world to get to your intended destination. read more

I would rate zero if it were possible. I booked a trip with Flixbus only because I could book seats at a table of the lower deck bus so that I can work. Flixbus changed the bus the day before the trip and gave me a 20USD voucher. I contacted customer support to say I didn't want the voucher, but to change the date of trip in the same conditions (seats at the table next day for example) or full refund because I wouldn't want to make the trip otherwise. They said they won't do that and that the bus was not cancelled but my seats and that they have the right to do that according to their terms and conditions. I would have to pay a 20USD cancelation fee to change the date and still wouldn't be able to book my seats. The terms and conditions were changed recently, and instead of a 5 euro cancelation fee, they put a 20 USD cancelation fee. This company is stealing from its customers. On the trip I made one week ago, the bus broke down on the highway and the next bus came 5 hours later. They said you can buy food and beverages while waiting and we will reimburse you, but no more than 10 euros. The replacement bus had 2 hours late to the destination. I came to the destination at 2 am instead of 9pm. Don't travel with flixbus. It's terrible read more

I never used Flixbus but my neice heard someone talking about it so I booked a trip from Tampa to Miami. BIG MISTAKE! The minute I went to the bathroom and flushed the water backed up and went on my right shoe and Sox. GROSS! Now I have to ride this bus with one shoe.. read more

If only zero stars could be given. I had booked a trip for my son to get back to college. The bus was late. No notifications were received. One of the people waiting at the bus stop finally got through to someone on the phone and was told they didn't know where the bus was. Then a bit later, they were told the driver didn't show up. Two hours after the scheduled departure, we got an email that the trip was cancelled. So we had to hightail it and drive our son ourselves 6.5 hours. Also had to stay in a motel overnight. Received an email "guiding" us on how to receive a refund. The phone number provided is a system one and every time you go through the prompts for refunds, you get disconnected. I have tried the online "help" link that takes you down a rabbit hole. And the online chat just says "Thank you for your patience. Please enter your question, you will be connected to an agent soon." BUT YOU NEVER ARE. I am pretty sure I will never see that $85. Absolutely, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you book a trip with Flixbus. Atrocious in every possible way read more

Disgustingly bad company. Would rate 0 stars if I could. completely unhelpful, I have never had a bus arrive on time, and sometimes the bus is over an hour late. The wifi is worse than third world. Its the same quality as the wifi on the Titanic probably. I accidentally cancelled my ticket, and they wouldn't reinstate the ticket even though it was only 5 minutes later. I swear to god the second flixbus has a competitor I will foresake this sorry excuse for a company. Use only as a last resort, and even then, you should ask yourself if it's really worth going on a trip. If flixbus is your bus company the answer is probably no. read more

I take the testimony of another user. Exactly the same happened to me. And FlixBus treated me as a liar. This was in France (Annecy station). I was used to use this company. Will never do it again. I hope some day they are held accountable for disrespeciting people and taking their money. They make fun of you, saying that people got up in as bus that never arrived. Bad service and even worst CS. I quote: "I hate writing bad reviews but when you show up 45 minutes early to the location your ticket says you need to go and the bus just doesn't show up with many passengers waiting and the bus customer service blames you for missing your bus. Then your bus service deserves a 1 star. The stole my money. Don't use them if you can help it". read more

I booked our transportation months in advance to our trip . Multiple modes of transportation had to be arranged for our cruise that left Seattle Washington but returned to Vancouver BC . Flix was our transportation back to Seattle from Vancouver to catch our flight home to Atlanta. The day before our cruise docked , less than 24 hours before our scheduled trip with them , they canceled on us by text message . No explanation was given , only we could rebook !!! I called only to be told there was nothing they could do for me ! Here I am , on a cruise scrambling to find transportation for the next day so I wouldn't miss my scheduled flight home . So , long story short , after hours of very stressful searching , we booked a flight from Vancouver to Seattle that cost us $900 more than the bus trip ! Thanks a lot and for no help ! You suck ! read more

I have never seen such a disgusting, horrible, and scamming company. First of all, they don't ensure of displaying their refund policy as well as not caring for customer's reasons and challenges. I accidentally booked a ride for the next day but I had a serious emergency that canceled my trip so I tried to cancel my ticket. However, flixbus's customer service didn't even try to understand the situation and just told me that I can only get 25 percent voucher of my original purchase. I just got scammed 200 dollars and I didn't even get any help. read more

Buyers Beware!!! If you pay cash for a bus ticket you will not get a refund from FlixBus even though they canceled your trip on their side at the last minute. Their customer support will not help you. I initiated a refund and for 13 days heard nothing from them. As soon as I contacted BBB someone from FlixBus contacted me to tell me they sent my money to a company called PaySafe Cash based in Dublin, Ireland. I paid cash for my ticket in New York. They are international crooks and will do anything to not give you your money. read more

On September 30th, 2023, I left Vancouver BC for Seattle, WA on a Flixbus. It was an older bus and it was clear from the outset that it had a mechanical problem. It broke down completely 15 minutes later. The driver said help was on the way and all would be well. Two and a half hours a mechanic arrived (who the driver had found through Google!) and said the vehicle was not roadworthy. We limped back into the station we had left three hours earlier. Flixbus did not attempt to help passengers rebook and offered no apology. A few days later, I contacted Flixbus customer service online with a form requesting a refund. They replied that my ticket was scanned and as far as they were concerned I was on the bus and had completed my trip! I was not eligible for a refund. I have discovered since then this company is ceasing operations in Canada and has a dreadful reputation all over the world. Not hard to see why. No stars for this fly by night, rip off company. Stay far, far away from it. PS One has to leave a star to submit a review here so I've done that. But my experience with Flixbus was not worth even half a star in reality. read more

I had booked a trip from Munich ZOB to Memmingen airport. This was supposed to take place on 5 August at 3am and when I got there, there was no bus (but it was on the timetable). I then looked in the mails and there it was, they cancelled the trip for no reason with less than 6 hours notice. If a journey is at 3 a.m., then I'm in bed by 8 p.m. at the latest and don't check my emails any more. There was nothing in the Flixbus app either. To get to the airport, I had no other choice but to get a Miles rental car and drive there (a great deal, the journey cost over 60€, by bus it would have been 25€). When I checked my statements after a month, I saw that the cancelled trip was not automatically refunded, I had to contact customer service. There I asked for the €25 back (which is probably not a matter of course with Flixbus, because they told me that according to their terms and conditions, a voucher should be enough as a refund. So they cancel without a reason and I'm still supposed to chase the refund?) and I didn't even receive compensation for the last-minute cancellation. Simply not customer friendly! This company is a joke when it comes to customer satisfaction. I'd rather pay a few euros more with another provider. read more

FlixBus ticket in Canada, bought through BusBud. FlixBus promised WiFi and air conditioning on board but neither of these were working. When we asked the driver about air conditioning he made a joke about it being too cold outside to need it (it was actually fairly warm) and regarding the WiFi he simply said the company was aware there was an issue. Yet they continue to advertise a service with WiFi despite knowing of this issue. I requested a partial refund from FlixBus but they have refused to give one. read more

flixbus has no customer service whatsoever. I have sent them numerous emails and gotten responses from different people every time. There is no way to contact the same person. Each time the people ask for the same information but then never get back to you. I have also written to Daniel Kraus, the CEO, multiple times and he has never bothered to respond. My grandson was traveling from Los Angeles to Indio. The bus was delayed initially for 2 1/2 hours. Then the bus broke down underways, and he was told to wait for a Greyhound bus. He waited more than four hours, and finally had to pay someone to pick him up. Flix bus has failed to even return the price of his ticket, let alone the $50 he had to pay to get home, most certainly has not given him any money and compensation for this disaster. They are a horrible company.! read more

Bus Left 40 MINUTES EARLY, NO REFUND NIGHTMARE. My (already delayed) bus was rescheduled for 5:10. It came and left around 4:35 without notifying me!! Customer service came up with every reason why it was MY fault. Flixbus REFUSED to refund me, said I should have been there 15 minutes before departure (I was there an HOUR before departure). When that didn't work, they said that no other passenger at the stop missed the bus so why did I? (I was the ONLY passenger at the stop!!!) Don't waste your time with Flix or Greyhound, just use Groome Transportation or something MUCH more reliable. read more

Do NOT book with these guys. We booked a ticket and no bus showed up. Called costumer services. Twice. and they has "no information on the bus". We tracked the bus online, and it said "no data". Costumer service told us to wait for 2 hours to get a refund. We did. In -5 degrees. I go online to get a refund. They refuse to refund because the bus was there. IT WAS NOT. I asked if they could send me any proof that the bus showed up, because how could they suddenly say the bus was there, when the two people I spoke to on the phone said there was no data. They refused to provide that. read more

NEVER ride with FlixBus! The bus was cancelled and no one contacted us. More than 50 passengers waited in snow for four hours, under -7 C, for a bus that is never expected to come. We called, used their chatbot on web. No one replied! We finally reached out to them on chatbot the next day. They responded with NO RESPECT at all. They said "we only refund you full ticket price to show a good gesture. For other additional expense you have due to the bus delay, the only thing we can do is to say sorry. Or if you have booked an alternative transport on the same date, we might consider refund you the difference". They know we cannot book a ticket on a past date. Their words are insulting and meaningless. read more

This company are worst then THIEVES! They will rob you of your money. Stay away! My bus was scheduled to leave at 7:45 am from Redwood city for Oakland. FIrst I got intimation that it will be delayed by 3 minutes, so I started patiently waiting for it. Then for next 30 minutes there was no status update. I spoke to customer care. He said because bus is late less then 120 minutes he cannot return my money. Next day when I called another customer care person refunded my money in form of voucher but excluded the convenience fee. So entire amount was also not refunded. I am so not going to use this bus service! No accountability, reliability or ethics! UNETHICAL company! read more

I was travelling from Ottawa to Toronto (in Canada), a 5.25 hour ride. The washroom was out of service! The driver's solution was to stop twice for 10 min each, and when he announced the stops he said "there is no time to buy anything, only stop for the washroom". Well he ended up making us wait longer than 10 min outside the bus because he went and bought something himself. There was no wifi information provided either. Oh, and the bus was over an hour late getting to Toronto. On the trip back to Ottawa, there were no outlets to charge phones. There was also no air circulation because the vents above our seats weren't working. I will never travel with this company again. read more

If you want to get finessed buy a flixbus ticket. They will pull the oldest trick in the book on you. The bait and switch. You buy a flix bus ticket wait for a flix bus, and realize they contracted your ticket to some random non flix bus. You wait for the green bus it never comes and they just steal you money. Might as well work in an Indian call center and scam socials because flix bus operation is the same shit. read more

This is not a business, this is a scam. The bus never showed up, I called and no one could give me an updated pick up time, and even though their policy allows for refunds if the bus does not arrive after two hours (itself a ridiculous window) they denied my refund request. An incredible waste of money and abysmal customer service. I highly recommend using any alternative you can to Flixbus. read more

My recent roundtrip bus trip with FlixBus from Portland, Oregon, to SeaTac Airport was a total disaster. On the way up, when we had to connect to an international flight, the bus was already running late when the driver announced that she had to stop at a rest area to use the restroom. OK, that's fair, although in countless bus trips over decades, I have never had this happen before. So we stop, and she disappears for 20 minutes, finally meandering back slowly towards the bus. My wife and I were getting a little nervous by that time. We had left plenty of time to catch our flight, but the bus was now pushing 90 minutes late. So at last the driver takes her seat and... starts talking to the passengers around her. Another 10 minutes passes by... Finally, I walk to the front and tell her politely: "You know, some of us have flights to catch. We're already an hour and a half late. Can you please get started?" Quite slowly, and seemingly begrudgingly, she turns around, and finally we get back on the road. Luckily, there was no construction, accidents, traffic or other delays, lines at ticketing and security were manageable, and we made our flight. FlixBus did send an email apology for being so late and a 10% discount code for our next ticket purchase, but, unfortunately, when we tried to use it on our return trip, we found that there was no code included. The space was blank! However, that was nothing compared to what was to come. Our return flight arrived at SeaTac at 5:30 pm, leaving us plenty of time to catch the 8:30 FlixBus that I'd purchased (without discount code). No problem, so we waited, and waited, and waited... no bus! And no notification that anything was amiss. Finally, at around 9:00 pm, I found on their website how to check the status of the bus... it had been cancelled! So there we were, two senior citizens, stranded at SeaTac Airport, night was falling, and no way to get to Portland where our daughter was to meet us. I called two different customer service reps, who were polite, even sympathetic, but very clear that there was nothing that they could do except change our ticket to the morning. They couldn't promise that our hotel would be paid, there was no one they could transfer us to who could authorize this, in fact, they could offer no help at all. So, in a blur after a 25-hour day of traveling through 9 time zones, I changed the ticket to 8:00 am the next morning, and by midnight we managed to find a hotel with a shuttle from the airport. In the meantime, we realized that, since it was so late and we were so exhausted, the early morning bus would be impossible, so before I went to sleep, I changed the ticket to the afternoon bus, but due to the exorbitant change fees, I only received a few dollars refund on my original ticket, and this was given as a voucher for Flixbus, which I hope to never have to use again. Essentially, I had to pay double fare. My wife called customer service in the morning, and they explained that we could only change our ticket for free once (see the small print), and even though the first change was because FlixBus had cancelled, that counted as our free change. Ridiculous! But what could we do? So we paid double for bus fare as well as the cost of a hotel room because FlixBus cancelled the bus and didn't bother to tell us. So let this be a warning. Don't trust FlixBus for any customer service at all. And know that they'll take advantage of your situation in any way they can, offering no help or support. They just want your money, and you might, just might, get to where you're going on schedule (or not). read more

I used it a couple of times and yeah it gets you safe from A to B. The sad thing though is that as soon as the slightest problem arise things quickly turn hectic and one finds him or herself alone in the mass. This company has so much potential regarding the spots and fare prices. Upgrade your customer services and you upgrade with the your revenue. read more

I will first say that my first time using Flix bus for get from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando was pretty good. However, for my second time, I selected a bus that had a pickup at some carpark with no address. This resulted in my daughter and I getting dropped off by my Lyft at a different carpark. This is when I discovered that they have no interest in customer service. They don't list a number on the website or the ticket. The website didn't give me options to update to a later trip. I paid for new tickets on a later bus hoping they would reimburse me for the first bus. The bus driver gave me a customer service number. After 30 minutes on hold, I was told no, couldn't get my money back. Wasted $100. If I ever need to do that trip again I'll most likely consider the train, which I am told is actually faster, though costs a bit more and has fewer trips each day. read more

I would give them 0 stars if possible. I was on a bus that broke down while I was in France (stuff happens, not blaming them for that). We had to stand outside the bus on the side of the highway in the middle of the night for over 2 hours (2-4:30am). They then were unable to get another bus to take us to Paris (we were over 5 hours away from Paris), so the solution was to take us to a nearby train station and let us fend for ourselves. They are now arguing that I should not get a refund for the bus that did not take me to my final destination, plus the extra costs that having to find alternative transportation and having to book a new flight because I would have missed the original flight that I had booked (for the record, I was due to get to the airport 4 hours early for this flight based on the original timing of the bus). A terrible company, unreliable and poor customer service. read more

I would actually not give any stars...i was on a bus yesterday where the bus broke down. That can happen...the handling of the problem was the problem. Different info from the driver and the company...6 hours of delay. No refund of the ticket. Instructions to go buy potato chips and snacks and send the receipts to the company for a refund. Ridiculous. Unfathomable. When i tried to change my departure today, there was a fee of 17.50 they would not wave. Despite the torture of yesterday. Most passengers took lifts back to manhattan.

Scam of a bus service - Driver scanned me onto the bus, took a couple of goes with scanner - I verbally checked is everything ok - driver grunted yes yes ok ok. Proceed to drive to wrong airport which luckily i realised in time- Dropped me off at a junction on a motorway and had to get an uber to the airport. Despite the driver apologising and phoning his boss there and then (he said it was the second time this had happened that week) They have completely stonewalled me since claiming i was a no show.

The most uncomfortable ride I've ever had especially for a 3+ hour trip. The seats are super small, no leg room and not made for normal sized humans. I've had more comfortable rides in economy on an airplane. also the washroom was disgusting. The trip to Calgary from Edmonton was so uncomfortable that I cancelled my return trip, took the voucher and paid more money to book on a more comfortable coach style bus while enroute. if you're travelling for more than an hour do not book a FlixBus. read more

Horrible! Unprofessional representatives, customer service is worthles, app doesnt work well, chat room ends suddenly without answering your questions. Seems like a convenient way to see the keys but do yourself a favor because you may end up sitting on the side of the highway for hours in a broken down bus or waiting for that broken down bus to pick you up and bring you to the airport for a scheduled flight only to miss it because the folks in the office know nothing! I mean absolutely nothing! they can't tell you where the bus is, when it would be arriving, if another bus is coming or if you can get a refund! this was my experience resulting in almost 2 dozen people getting so frustrated they left in either a. $350 Uber, had to rent a car from the airport next door in key West to get to Miami on time and the cops even showed up. in both directions from Miami to Key West and back was an absolute cluster . don't risk it and ruin your vacation. spend the money on a more reliable and customer service oriented business. FlixBus should not be in business! even the representative behind the desk agreed and he works for the company! Heed my warning. read more

Cautionary Tale: I rode with Flixbus and had my life ruined On Sep 25, 20:30, I boarded on the Flixbus at the Berlin Central Bus Station bound for Zurich Central Bus station. In addition to my checked-in luggage, I had one small waistbag/fannypack that I wore on my body during the journey, which holds all the valuables including passport, wallet with 130 euros in cash, all credit cards etc. When the bus arrived at the destination, I got off to retrieve my suitcase but left my waist bag on my seat. On arriving at the terminal stop Zurich, I walked away from the bus to take the tram nearby. About 500 meters away, I realized I'd left my waist bag on my seat. I returned immediately, the bag was gone. The bus was already loading new passengers for a new trip since it arrived 2 hours late according to the schedule. I asked the new driver, he didn't speak English and simply did not care. The 2 drivers from Berlin were off duty and went to sleep, he told me. Since this bus arrived in Zurich late, it was already filling up with passengers for the next planned trip to Stuttgart. There were a few passengers on board and I asked them if they saw anything, they told me no. Since my seat was at the mid-bus entrance by the partition board, it's directly under the surveillance camera. I believe by reviewing the footage we can find out what happened. To this day, my legitimate request has not been answered. I called the service center of Flixbus in Germany right away and told them the whole incident, believing that in this mostly timely manner the bag can be found easily found without too much trouble. How wrong I was! The simple, automated line designed to pawn off passengers which the guy on the line, in his most indifferent tone, must have repeated a thousand times before goes, and I quote: submit the loss&found form! My 5 day trip to Zurich was naturally ruined. I made an official police report in Zurich with which I later returned to Germany as a kind of explanation for not having an ID when passing the border control. I specially mentioned the surveillance camera which could be used to discover the whereabouts of my bag. 5 days later I embarked on my return trip with Flixbus. It was a red-eye ride and I had to change midway for a train in Heidelberg. Due to the enormous stress and emotional fatigue endured thanks to the ruined trip, I left my suitcase uncollected when I got off at my stop. I soon realized the mistake minutes after the bus drove off and immediately called Flixbus help center, the only advice they provided was 'to ask someone you know to pick it up for you along the stops the bus will make on this trip'. I do not know anyone in those cities, to which he suggested to submit a loss and found form via their website and wait for the news, cause that's the best they can do, naturally. I came back to Berlin totally devastated. I'd submitted loss and found requests for both of my lost properties to Flixbus not only once, but three times in total, and each time they came back with the automated message: we're sorry, but we could not find your belonging. I'd paid a personal visit to their company, and the staff there, clearly underpaid and overworked, said there's nothing they could do. Nothing, not even a word of apology. The course of my life in Germany flipped 180 after the unfortunate ride with Flixbus. 2 months later, I had to leave the country for good since some documents I had was irreplaceable. I blame myself for the thrift, for having wanted to save 60 euros and made the poor choice, for not having done my homework properly beforehand. The ill reputation of Flixbus as an irresponsible, bloodthirsty company can be revealed a simple google search away, enough to discourage any penny pinchers to think twice before travelling the perilous road with them. read more

I am writing to formally complain about the unacceptable treatment I experienced during my journey on FlixBus 095 from Munich Central Bus Station to Klausen (Chiusa) on 8 March 2026. Details of the incident: During the scheduled stop at Innsbruck Südbahnstraße, Austria, the bus paused at a service station. The driver announced the break and explicitly allowed me to use the restroom for 5 minutes after I asked him in German, which other passengers can confirm. The driver was aware that I was going to the restroom without luggage and would return within the 5‑minute period. I bought a bottle of water at the station at 15:02 (transaction receipt available) and returned to the bus within the permitted 5 minutes, only to find that the bus had departed without me. Additionally, the bus left the Innsbruck stop earlier than indicated in the app (15:10). As a result, I was left stranded without my backpack, which contained my passport, wallet, and all my personal belongings. This caused not only stress and inconvenience but also restricted my freedom to travel, as I was denied access to my identification and financial means. This put me in a personally threatening and unsafe situation. I had no option but to follow the bus by taking a taxi. Another important point: FlixBus didn't mentioned in the ticket-related information that my action was prohibited. I did not expect this outcome. In addition, I called FlixBus customer service multiple times, but they could not provide any meaningful assistance. Instead, the lack of support only increased my frustration. Imagine racing a taxi after a FlixBus from Austria to Italy. I had to convince the taxi driver that I was not attempting to deceive him, with no money or ID on me, while speaking with the highly unhelpful FlixBus customer service. I had no option but to follow the bus by taking a taxi. Despite the fact that the bus departed minutes ahead of schedule, the driver's negligence forced me to arrange an emergency taxi from Innsbruck to Klausen, Italy, which cost me significantly. When we finaly intersected with the driver this was reluctant to give me access to my belongings. This situation has caused significant distress and financial burden, and I expect FlixBus to take full responsibility. read more

I have been travelling through Europe a lot in the past few years and I'm really glad that it's finally possible to travel within Germany by bus now. A fellow traveller highly recommended Flixbus to me and I found their connections perfect for a little trip through Germany so I planned an entire trip with Flixbus for me and my boyfriend. We stayed about 2 nights in each city, mostly in hostels and we also did some couchsurfing, so the entire trip was extremely cheap and one of the best travel experiences I ever had in Europe! Our experience with FlixBus was very positive. Everything worked out well and the tickets were so cheap :-) For my first booking I called the Flixbus Hotline for some help as their website is not available in English yet. Their staff was very friendly, helpful and could speak perfect English. + Very cheap tickets, snacks and drinks! + Our busses were all on time + Everything was extremely clean (I think they only have very new busses) + The drivers were great, very friendly and helpful + Free wifi + The transportation of our big backpacks was free + Service Hotline staff is great - Website is not available in English yet Here are the routes we travelled and the fares for one person: For the first part of our trip, I booked the tickets a few weeks in advance, so I managed to get the really cheap early birds fare Frankfurt Airport Cologne (5EUR) Cologne Bremen (13EUR) Bremen Hamburg (1EUR, yes! They had a special promotion or something and I got two 1EUR tickets, sweet!) Hamburg Berlin (8EUR) For the second part of our trip I booked the tickets only a few days in advance, so the cheapest tickets were mostly gone, but the full prices were still awesome (From Berlin to Dresden we took the train) Dresden Nuremberg (23EUR) Nuremberg Munich (15EUR) Munich Regensburg (11EUR) Regensburg Prag (23EUR) Prag Munich (33EUR) Munich Stuttgart (16EUR) Stuttgart Nuremberg (9EUR) Nuremberg Wurzburg (5EUR) Wurzburg Frankfurt (6EUR) I can highly recommend FlixBus and the whole route we took. Germany is a great country and it's now possible to easily travel from city to city on a budget :-) read more

I must express my profound disappointment with the recent experience I had with FLIXBUS. On the 8th of July, 2023, I, along with two other passengers, eagerly awaited the departure of the bus in České Budějovice. We arrived at the designated platform well in advance, but little did we know that this would be the start of a frustrating and unprofessional encounter. Fifteen minutes past the scheduled departure time, there was still no sign of the bus. To add to the frustration, the mobile application failed to provide any updates or notifications about a possible platform change or any other adjustments. As a result, we were left clueless and stranded, eventually causing me to miss a significant tournament I had planned for so diligently. The lack of communication and disorganization exhibited by FLIXBUS is unacceptable. As a traveler who relies on timely and accurate information, this experience left me not only inconvenienced but also with a considerable financial loss. I am genuinely concerned about the professionalism of FLIXBUS. The utter disregard for its passengers' time and schedules is deeply troubling. When customers make a commitment to travel with a company, they expect the same level of commitment in return. I am now seeking an immediate resolution to this issue. It is only fair that FLIXBUS compensates me fully for the trip that never happened, booked under reservation number 3090140303. Furthermore, I believe it is essential for FLIXBUS to take responsibility for its lack of communication and ensure that proper measures are implemented to avoid such situations in the future. In conclusion, I strongly advise fellow travelers to think twice before choosing FLIXBUS. This experience has left me with a bitter taste and has shattered any trust I had in the company's services. I hope this review serves as a warning to others, and I implore FLIXBUS to address this matter promptly and professionally. read more

On April 28, 2024, I traveled from Paris (Bercy Seine) to London (Victoria Coach Station) via a FlixBus service, with a departure time of 10:15 (Paris time) and an arrival time of 18:55 (London time). My booking reference number for this particular trip is 315 443 4163, route 700. Unfortunately, upon my arrival in London, I realized that I had inadvertently left my suitcase in the luggage compartment of the bus. The suitcase in question is a medium-sized black one with four wheels, displaying some minor scratches, and branded "Newcom." Immediately upon recognizing my mistake, I hastened back to the station within a mere 10 minutes, only to find that the bus had already left. Despite my swift actions to retrieve the suitcase, which included visiting the station on the evening of April 28 and again on April 29, as well as lodging a report with FlixBus's lost and found department (report reference number: 37302145), there have been no updates or leads regarding its whereabouts. It has now been more than two weeks since my first contact with the lost and found service. The inability to find my suitcase, which was left in the luggage compartment of your bus, for such an extended period is unacceptable. This lack of professionalism on your part is simply unacceptable. I vividly remember the driver who operated the route and have provided all relevant details. Despite suggesting the possibility of contacting the bus driver, FlixBus declined to do so, citing privacy concerns. While I acknowledge my own error in leaving the suitcase behind, I am profoundly dissatisfied with FlixBus's approach to resolving this matter. I believe the company's actions--or lack thereof--could be construed as negligence. Consequently, I am considering taking legal action to address this situation. read more

Ich studiere in München und besuche an den meisten Wochenenden meinen Freund in Nürnberg. Vor allem auf dieser Strecke, aber auch auf ein paar anderen habe ich den Flixbus jetzt schon einige Wochen lang ausgiebig getestet und bin total begeistert! Endlich gibt es eine tolle, günstige Alternative zur Bahn. Und auch Mitfahrgelegenheiten muss ich jetzt nicht mehr nutzen. Da hatte ich in letzter Zeit auch nicht mehr so Lust drauf irgendwie. Meistens steht der Bus in Nürnberg oder München schon lange vor der Abfahrt bereit. Bis jetzt habe ich nur ein mal eine Verspätung von ca 25min erlebt. Da kam dann kurz vor der geplanten Abfahrt eine Benachrichtigungs-SMS, dass der Bus verkehrsbedingt 20min Verspätung hat. Das geht für mich absolut in Ordnung und der Service mit der Benachrichtigung ist klasse. Das gratis Wlan auf der Fahrt nutze ich sehr ausgiebig mit dem Laptop zum Surfen und Arbeiten. Ab und zu ist auf der Autobahn mal kurz das Signal weg. Läuft aber sonst ziemlich schnell und war bis jetzt in jedem Bus verfügbar. Die Busfahrer waren bis jetzt immer sehr freundlich und an der Fahrweise hatte ich noch nie irgendetwas zu beanstanden. Die Busse waren alle sauber und neu. Solche komfortablen Sitze mit so viel Beinfreiheit hatte ich bis jetzt im Bus vorher noch nie. Die Ankunft in München war immer pünktlich, meistens waren wir sogar ein paar Minuten vor der geplanten Ankunftszeit am Ziel. Ich bin absolut zufrieden mit dem Fernbus Service von Flixbus und auch viele Freunde und Bekannte von mir haben immer nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Ich hoffe das Netz wird ganz schnell weiter ausgebaut, dann kann ich bald komplett auf die Bahn verzichten. read more

Freitag war meine erste Fahrt mit Flixbus fahren. Gebuchte Strecke Berlin - Leipzig. Keine Frage: der Preis ist erschreckend günstig. Ich nutze sonst die Konkurrenz und zahle mehr. Das werde ich wohl auch in Zukunft wieder machen, denn für die Fahrt mit Flixbus brauch man Nerven. Der Buchungsprozess war nicht ganz einfach. Telefonisch reservieren geht ja wohl nicht. :-( Der Bus war pünktlich. Das Gepäck wurde einfach nur in den Kofferraum gepackt. Es hätte sich unterwegs an jeder Haltestelle also jeder bedienen können. Die Dame vom Check-in war freundlich, sah aber aus, als sei sie einem Manga entsprungen. Ein Bisschen dezenter wäre schon ok... Im Bus waren alle drei Reihen etwa Müllsäcke an die Armlehnen gehängt worden. Zur Erinnerung: letzten Freitag waren gut 25 Grad und der Bus kam wohl aus Rostock. Mit anderen Worten: es müffelte. Alles nicht so schlimm, dachte ich. Bis die Busfahrerin im breitesten Bayrisch ansagte, dass man sich anschnallen sollte und wenn nicht ist das unser Problem. Sie zahlt das nicht. Ein Einfaches: "Bitte schnallen Sie sich an." hätte gereicht. Was dem Fass aber den Boden ausschlug war, dass im Klo bewusst kein Toilettenpapier mehr ausgelegt wird. Die Leute werfen es immer in die Toilette, die verstopft dann und deshalb hat die Firmenzentrale gesagt das machen wir nicht mehr. (Ist das nicht eigentlich Nötigung in einem abendländischen Land???) Wlan - Fehlanzeige. Getränke, Snacks - gab es nicht. Dafür eine Pause von 30 Minuten am Rasthof Fläming. Insgesamt dauerte meine Fahrt damit fast 3 Stunden. Da ist auch der Preis von 9 Euro nicht gerechtfertigt. Sorry, aber ich geh wieder zur Konkurrenz. read more

my trip with you guys has turned out to be one of my worst traveling experiences ever! Been on a bus from hell from Barcelona (what's the worst smelling toilet you ever smelled? For me flixbus N710 towards Düsseldorf) got physically sick of it and I'm a bartender used to cleaning horrible toilets!!. Plus I now stink sooooooooo bad that other passengers won't come close and probably think I'm incontinent so yeah feeling great. As cherry on top I booked a ticket for 40 minutes after arrivel in Amsterdam since you guys are never more than 30 minutes late but now am delayed again and send a message on Facebook about my connection. And it seems that you guys are not responsible for me missing my transfer in Amsterdam because of bs reason the nice girl (Linda on facebook) had to give me. So we go from boasting about being on time to not taking responsibility for a 40+ minute delay on a 3 hour and 40 minute trip (assuming my math is correct and I miss the flixbus in Amsterdam) boasting about service where you straight up endanger people (yes the ride were a boy got a seizures from the smell) and your bus drivers (both) did nothing! Tought BHV (dutch for company first aid) was something they would need as well but you guys are welcome since I have mine and together with some passengers could stabilize the guy and see him off in a ambulance. Oh and please stop advertising that you have wifi now in my 7th flixbus in 8 days and only one had (sort of) working wifi. So here is what I would like. Man up and take responsibility! Signed by a sad and very sick customer read more

Hier frische Geschichte darüber, wie ein Flix-Bus-Fahrer mit Fahrgästen umgeht... Gestern bin ich mit dem Bus 051 aus Düssi in Berlin angekommen, der Fahrer ist unten beim Gepäck mit anderen Passagieren, ich hab keins - also bin vorne ausgestiegen und losgegangen. Da merke ich, dass ich den Regenschirm im Bus vergessen habe. Schnell zurück zum Bus (der Fahrer sagte vorhin, er muss gleich wieder los fahren, bitte schnell aussteigen und eigenen Abfall mitnehmen - was ich freundlicherweise auch getan habe). Nun stehe ich vorne auf der unteren Stufe und will weiter nach oben, merke dann den Fahrer, der steht auf der oberen Stufe und will nach unten. Mein Fehler war, zugegeben, dass ich als - a.Fahrgast b.eine Frau 50+ und c.schlecht von der Stufe rückwärts zurück nach unten kann - irgendwie erwartet habe, dass er einfach einen Schritt zur Seite macht und mich die 2 restlichen Stufen rauf steigen lässt. Was aber dann in sekundenschnelle passiert ist, hätte ich mir nicht im Traum vorstellen können. Der Fahrer lässt mich nicht nur nicht rauf kommen, sondern er geht noch eine Stufe runter, somit steht er jetzt dicht vor mir, legt seine beiden Hände auf meine Brüste und schubst mich mit physischer Gewalt aus dem Bus raus, sagt dabei eiskalt: "ich zuerst" ! Wie ich den Balance halten konnte und nicht rückwärts hingefallen bin, weiß ich gar nicht. Aber den Schock und die Wut spüre ich auch jetzt noch. Ich musste den ganzen Weg vom ZOB nach Hause weinen. read more

I used FlixBus to get from Ljubljana to Zagreb and then Zagreb to Budapest, and was very impressed with the service. Both buses had a good wifi connection for the entire trip, and both had bathrooms on board. The Zagreb-Budapest trip was a longer one (5 hours) so they also had food and drinks available on the bus to purchase and stopped us at a cafe halfway through in case anyone was hungry. While the bus trip was better than I anticipated (especially because the cost of the tickets were cheaper than anything else I had seen), but how they deal with cancellations and changing tickets is actually why I wanted to write a positive review. On the day of our trip from Ljubljana to Zagreb, we found out we needed to get to Zagreb earlier than we thought so we could drop off our luggage at the bus station luggage hold before it closed. FlixBus had an earlier bus to Zagreb that day, and we were able to cancel our original tickets, get a voucher for the full cost of the original tickets we cancelled (sent to me immediately by email), and then use that voucher to book the new time, all of which was incredibly easy to do on the FlixBus App through the "rebook" option. They also allow mobile boarding passes (also through their app), which was great because so many bus companies require a printed ticket which general isn't possible when you're travelling and don't have access to a home printer. Overall, I would highly recommend FlixBus! read more

Flixbus ist doch eine peinliche Firma Ich habe eine Fahrt von Düsseldorf nach Dresden gebucht. Ich habe mit Absicht den letzten Trip gebucht um den Tag in Dresden auszunutzen. Am nächsten Morgen musste ich um 9:30 arbeiten. (Anfahrt : Sonntag 23:15 Dresden- Montag 07:40 Abfahrt in Düsseldorf) Alles ging cool los, bis ich die erste Sms bekommen habe , dass der Bus 1st 50 Verspätung hat. Kein Thema, kann es passieren! Doch jetzt fing der Albtraum erst an. Jede Stunde, bis 5:35, wurde eine SMS verschickt , inder der Bus einfach immer um eine Stunde verschoben wurde. Ich versuchte mehrmals die Hotline anzurufen um mehr Informationen zu bekommen, aber niemand ist dran gegangen. Nach der 7 Sms in der Nacht, ist der Bus endlich angekommen (ungefähr 6 Stunden Verspätung). Leider nicht am gewünschten Zielort Duesseldorf sondern in Leverkusen. Dort wurden alle Mitfahrer ohne Grund und ohne Hilfe einfach Rausgeschmissen . Die Begründung: ''Der Trip ist in Leverkusen vorbei". Nachdem ich mir ein extra Ticket der Bahn bis zum Hbf Düsseldorf gekauft hatte, erreichte ich diesen um 14:40 (7 Stunden später von der vorausichtiliche Zeit). Erstaunlicherweise bekam ich heute eine Email von Flixbus: ,, Sie bekommen wegen der Verspätung eine kostenlose Fahrt mit Flixbus´´. Einfach Peinlich, niemand hat uns eine Erklärung bzw Rückmeldung gegeben, als wir es gebraucht hätten. Danke aber ich fahre nie wieder mit diesem Unternehmen. read more

I had the worst travel experience of my life with FlixBus. My trip started at the Miami Beach (Newport Beachside) stop, which was already a confusing and poorly marked location. The signs could easily be mistaken for the hotel's shuttle, and the lack of clear instructions in my confirmation made things worse. The bus passed right by me at the stop while I was standing there with my luggage! Determined not to miss my trip to Orlando to meet my family for our Disney vacation, I had to chase the bus down in a car and catch up to it at a red light. When I approached the bus, the driver immediately started screaming profanities at me, addressing me in the most disrespectful and racist manner, calling me by my skin color and using offensive names. It was shocking and humiliating. I felt incredibly unsafe, but I had no choice but to get on since I had already paid for my ticket. I had even paid extra for a seat upgrade, but when I found someone else sitting in my assigned seat, the driver refused to assist me. His hostility throughout the experience made me feel completely unwelcome and uncomfortable. FlixBus's lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic human decency is appalling. I would never recommend this company to anyone, especially if you value respect and safety. Avoid FlixBus at all costs! 1/5 stars, only because 0 stars isn't an option. read more

Had a horrible experience with Flixbus!!! I was supposed to board the bus around 1am at the airport in Amsterdam. First the bus was late (which is understandable) but then when the bus finally arrived and I was trying to get on board my printed ticket or the ticket sent to my email would not scan. I showed both my printed ticket and the ticket on my email and everything was okay but for some reason my name was not in their system and they would not let me board the bus. I was trying to reason with them but I was told there must be a problem with the payment and still they would not let me on the bus. So I slept at the airpot in Amsterdam while trying to figure out what to do. It has now been a month and I have emailed flixbus 4 times. After the 1st email I got a reply a week later telling me to explain the situation better because they could see that my name was in their system. I replied to this email with and got a reply blaming me saying that I had missed the bus because it was late and other people had boarded the bus. Since then I have emailed them 3 times and have not heard anything back! I decided to share my experience in case people are trying to decide between bus companies I would say do not choose Flixbus unless you want to be left stranded somewhere in the middle of night and not receive any help regarding it. read more

Ich reise grundsätzlich viel, auch mit Fernbussen seit Einführung. Meistens reise ich dabei mit MeinFernbus, aber da es zu meinem Reisezeitpunkt billiger war mit dem Flixbus nach München zu fahren, wollte ich ihn einmal ausprobieren. Vorteile: + er war pünktlich losgefahren + wenige Mitfahrer, viel Platz Nachteile: - bei der Buchung gab es einige Probleme, da ich umgebucht habe - einen höher wertigeren Gutschein als der Fahrtpreis wird nicht angenommen! - Umbuchung kostet pro Karte 3 Euro - Verspätung von 45 min bei Ankunft - leider Gepäckstück vergessen im Bus, Kundenservice reagiert seit Wochen nicht auf mehrmaliges Anschreiben und Telefonhotline nimmt nicht ab; nach etwa 10 Versuchen aufgegeben. SEHR ÄRGERLICH Besonders ärgerlich finde ich den Service von Flixbus. Nach mehrmaligem Anschreiben und Anrufen habe ich bis jetzt, nach ca. 2 Wochen noch immer keine Rückmeldung erhalten ob mein Gepäckstück gefunden wurde oder nicht. Auch die Buchung dauerte statt wenigen Minuten Tage aufgrund des bereits genannten Gutschein-Problems! Schließlich durch das Personal gebucht. Wenn es geht, werde ich in Zukunft definitiv versuchen eine weitere Fahrt mit Flixbus zu vermeiden! Lieber zahle ich 2-3 Euro mehr und bleibe flexibler und habe auch einen guten Service! read more

I'm absolutely disgusted by the experience I had with FlixBus and the way they handled my complaint. A few days ago, while waiting at the Broxden Park & Ride, I mistakenly boarded a bus headed for Aberdeen. The driver's reaction? Completely rude and dismissive! Instead of a polite response to a simple question, I was met with a condescending and aggressive tone, embarrassing me in front of other passengers. And when I reached out to customer service to report this unprofessional behavior, I received a generic, computer-generated response that did nothing to address the issue. Clearly, FlixBus doesn't care how their customers are treated. I've used FlixBus multiple times in the past, but let's be honest, the only reason I tolerated their poor service was the cheap price. The internet never works, the toilets are often out of service, and the buses themselves are filthy. I could overlook these things for a budget-friendly trip, but dealing with rude, disrespectful employees is where I draw the line. I've deleted the app and will never use FlixBus again. If you're traveling in Scotland, I highly recommend Ember, which offers a far better and more professional service. Do yourself a favor and avoid FlixBus--it's simply not worth the trouble. read more

Ich habe noch nie so einen schlechten Kundenservice erlebt! Der Bus hatte 5 Stunden Verspätung, weswegen ich mit dem Zug fahren musste. Allein das war schon fast 10 Euro teurer (und auch nur weil ich eine Bahncard habe) als ich eigentlich für den Zug bezahlt hätte. Trotz dieser massiven Verspätung wurde mir der Busticketpreis vom Konto abgebucht!!! So etwas geht überhaupt nicht! Auf meine E-Mail kam keine Reaktion, obwohl ich diese schon vor 2 Wochen geschrieben habe. Auch per Post habe ich den ausgefüllten Beschwerdeantrag verschickt - wieder keine Reaktion! Das ist so unmöglich, der Kundenservice hier ist schlechter als bei der Deutschen Bahn - und das soll was heißen! Nachdem ich heute die Hotline angerufen habe und endlich mal durchkam, wurde mir nur gesagt, dass das 4 Wochen dauert bis ich eine Antwort bekomme und man konnte mir nicht einmal versichern, dass ich das Geld zurückbekomme. Ich finde dieses Verhalten so unverschämt! Ich kann nichts dafür wenn Flixbus täglich 2000 E-Mails bekommt! Das ist doch keine Entschuldigung! Wenn ich das Geld nicht bald wieder bekomme, werde ich künftig völlig auf den Flixbus verzichten! Da ist man ja selbst bei der Bahn besser aufgehoben - hätte nicht gedacht, dass ich das mal sagen würde! read more

Unprofessional, Unreliable, and Disrespectful Following a tornado in Gary, IN, my fiancé and I booked FlixBus tickets for Wednesday at 1:25 PM ($70 total) to get to safety. When the bus arrived, the driver explicitly told us it wasn't our bus. However, live app tracking proved that was our scheduled ride. Because of the driver's error, we were stranded and had to pay another $100 for someone to drive all the way from Lafayette to pick us up. To make matters worse, FlixBus customer service was outright horrible: Repeated Misgendering: As a Trans woman, I clearly and politely requested not to be called "sir." The representatives completely ignored this and continued misgendering me throughout the calls. Refusal to Escalate: I asked to speak to a manager seven times, and every request was denied. Disrespect & Unprofessionalism: I called five separate times trying to get a refund or simple answers, only to receive increasing attitude and hostility until they hung up on me multiple times. FlixBus took our money, stranded us after a natural disaster, provided zero accountability, and treated us with total disrespect. Save your money and book elsewhere. read more

FLixBUS hires racist bus drivers. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY Wir sind mit dem Flexibus zum Flughhafen Berlin gefahren und von dortaus in den Urlaub geflogen. Wir sind zurück aus dem Urlaub gekommen und wollten nach Hause mit dem Bus. Wir haben bei der Bushaltestelle mit einer ausländischen Familie gewartet, die auch kleine Kinder hatten und als der Bus ankam und die zwei Busfahrer aus dem Bus gestiegen sind, haben die gleich zu der ausländische Familie gesagt: Sie fahren nicht mit dem Bus. Ihr Argument war, dass ihre Kinder einen Kindersitz brauchen und forderten, dass nur Kinder, die älter als fünf sind, können ohne Kindersitz mit dem Bus mitfahren. Die beiden Busfahrer haben denn gesagt, dass diese Info auf dem Flexibus Website stehen...Was da auf dem Website steht ist das Kinder bis drei Jahre alt müssen eine Kindersitz haben. Weil wir versucht haben, die Famile die weder Enlgisch noch Deutsch sprachen zu verteidigen, durften wir auch letztendlich nicht mit dem Bus fahren. Welcome back to Germany! Ich kann nur Flexibus empfehlen wenn Sie eine Firma unterstüzen wollen, die Ausländer feindliche Busfahrer einstellen. read more

Meine Erfahrung mit FlixBus: Ich studiere in Nürnberg und fahre oft am Wochenende nach München. Bis jetzt bin ich immer mit Mitfahrgelegenheiten gefahren, habe aber eine echte und vor allem günstigere Alternative gefunden! Mein Ticket habe ich online gebucht und dann mit'm Smartphone beim Busfahrer eingecheckt. Dieser hat dann auch gleich um meinen Koffer gekümmert und ihn im Laderaum verstaut. Den richtigen Bus habe ich auch sofort gefunden die Orange-blauen sind ja leicht zu erkennen. Der Bus war auch innen ganz neu, modern ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Einen Platz am Fenster konnte ich auch gleich ergattern und dann habe ich es mir bis München vor meinem Laptop gemütlich gemacht. Die Beinfreiheit ist hier echt genial. Zwischendurch kann man auch Snacks, Getränke oder Kaffee (kostenloser refill an der Kaffeebar:)) kaufen. In München ist der Bus dann zwar mit 5 Minuten Verspätung angekommen, was ich allerdings vollkommen akzeptabel finde. Mein Fazit: Meine neue Mitfahrgelegenheit heißt FlixBus! read more

Horrible. I would give 0 stars if I could. We went a day early to ask the bus driver if our 11 month baby could travel with a baby carrier and if he needed a ticket. He said it was fine and baby travel free. Based on that info we reserved tickets online for the next day from Luxembourg to Brussels. The next day , we artived two hours before departure , the bus driver arrived late and made us wait till the end of the queue with my baby in tow before telling us he wasn't willing to take us without the car seat even though we explained we checked the policy the day before. We then had to unpack all things from the bus. Three things. 2. It never specified what a suitable carrier or seat was for babies, if they need a ticket . We have lost 40 euros and lost time as well as endured humiliation all because we listened to one flix bus driver advice and had another horrible bus driver to deal with. I will never set foot on flix ever again. read more
