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

After a bad start with FlixBus customer service I am happy to tell that they were forthcoming.

Very bad experience with flixbus from Las Vegas to San Diego. The bus was delayed by 1 hr and 10 min and we boarded the bus finally at 2 a.m. There was no prior intimation. It was freezing cold in Vegas and no shelter closeby to the pick up point. I wouldn't recommend it for late night buses. The conductor was not helpful at all. read more

Disgraceful service. They canceled our bus to airport at last minute with no immediate replacement causing me to miss my overseas flight. Shame on you Flixbus! Service honteux. Ils ont annulé notre bus vers l'aéroport à la dernière minute avec aucun remplacement immédiat me faisant rater mon vol outre-mer. Honte à vous Flixbus ! read more

San jose to vegas: first bus came i showed my ticket and it was the wrong bus, no big deal but the driver seemed irritated that i didnt know this and was rude.. I stepped back and just watched others board the bus then the driver kicked a lady off the bus..keep in mind its san jose midnight and this lady wasnt from around here and by herself..i helped her get a uber and navigate her to a train..i guess she took her shoes off but instead of a warning or asking nicely she got the boot.. I then got on my bus and driver was better but when we got to fresno a new driver got on and had a attitude of a prison gaurd...not impressed at all..even for the price. read more

I would give them negative rating if the option existed. We booked the tickets and had to cancel our plan unfortunately. The website has clear guidelines for exchange / credit but not on cash refund and just mention 'cash refund possible'. After multiple calls and Facebook chat we got some clarity on how to proceed. After that the service team has not refunded the amount and neither have they informed us what the actual amount coming back to us is. I have received multiple communication each with a different penalty , and when I question them on why the amounts keep changing and hey keep adding a new penalty every few days ..... they disappear. It's been one month since cancellation and multiple calls and emails... with no response . Appalling behaviour read more

Not that cheap, a lot of delays, very long layovers, and horrible customer service. Going on holiday in Croatia, I flew in to Bratislava airport with a budget airline with the hope of saving some money. Flixbus picked us up from the airport on time, and the bus was clean, comfortable and had working facilities. The staff weren't that friendly however, not giving any sign of greeting or politeness. We arrived at our stopover location in Vienna (very out of the way) over an hour late, but thankfully didn't miss our connecting bus. Staff at the bus station helped us find our departure gate as it wasn't on our ticket and we had no other way of knowing. This wasn't the case on the return trip. I arrived into Vienna, late again, at 11:30pm to get my connecting bus at 12:30. With no staff around, I had no other option but to wait where I had been collected/dropped before at the main departure gate. I asked two Flixbus drivers nearby where I might get the next bus and they completely dismissive and rude. As a result, I missed my bus back to Bratislava Airport and had to pay €160 in a taxi. I realise missing the bus wasn't completely their fault, but they certainly made no attempt to make it easy for a paying customer. This, along with a no refund policy on tickets (even when you buy two due to a network connection error) led to this low-rating review. For shorter journeys, I'm sure it's just fine. read more

TERRIBLE!!! I was in an accident on the bus and they STILL have not refunded my ticket (accident 20 minutes into the trip). THEY also have not called me back about the accident. The people in the LA office are the sweetest but forget trying to find anyone who can actually DO ANYTHING beyond that. read more

Make sure you are on the correct bus because the bus driver did not check our tickets and we had to stay on the wrong route until we got to the final destination. I had to have someone drive 3 hours each way to pick us up because they did nothing to help us after the fact. read more

Awful company! I booked a ride wich departure hour was scheduled at 10:00. Twenty minutes before the departure I received a message, they communicate a delay of 2hours and 25min but, at the end, the bus never arrived. Never happened to me before with other companies. I had to buy another ticket for another ride with departure at 13:30, while the customer care agent was suggesting me to wait over and over, even if my bus (until I was there, until 13:30) never showed/arrived. I waited in total 3hours and 30min. With no helpful support from customer care at all. Before booking a ride with Flixbus think twice about it (If you don't arrive to your destination or you arrive with a lot of delay think about you can lose your flight, your hotel reservation, etc.) Be aware from Flixbus. read more

My boyfriend took flixbus all around Europe this summer without much problem. That is until we got to our second to last stop in Amsterdam. When we arrived my luggage with most of my belongings was missing along with two others. The bus driver told me, "this happens all the time." What a great thing to tell someone who lost almost all of their clothes and their laptop. On my vacation I had to file a police report and contact flixbuses joke of a lost and found. After I contacted them they would not give me any news on whether or not I would get compensated for my losses and they told me I had to wait at least thirty days. So I had to go buy all my necessities with no compensation which affected the budgeting of the test of my trip. Now I am back home it has been thirty days and I have still heard nothing back from the company. I contacted them and they keep beating around the bush saying that I have to be patient. IT HAS BEEN THIRTY DAYS, DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN FIND A LOST BAG AFTER THIRTY DAYS? I now have to take legal action and contact a lawyer so that I can get my money back for everything that I lost. They have already lost a case with the same exact situation happening so I am not all that worried. I warn you do not take flixbus. This can happen to you. If you do take flixbus, please write your destination in huge lettering on your luggage. You do not want this to happen to you. They have no bag check system which allows for them to leave your bag out at a random stop. read more

Took Flixbus for the first time. Drove from Berchtesgaden to Paderborn, and it was great. Everything was super punctual and the drive was through the night which I think is good as you don't miss any part of the day. Toilet and refreshments are on board. My ride cost 45 Euros, which saved me a good amount of money in comparison to the train. read more

Used FlixBus on two routes: 1. Znojmo (Czech) - Vienna (Austria) 2. Salzburg (Austria) - Munich (Germany) It's almost impossible to identify bus stop in both Znojmo and Salzburg. There is no any visible sign that this is the stop for FlixBus. It's just ridiculous. No tent for people to hide from rain while waiting, no FlixBus sign - no nothing. Just a little piece of paper stick to the pole. Another problem with FlixBus is that if you wait your bus in Znojmo you will not get any update on delay because this route starts in Prague. My bus arrived more than one hour behind its scheduled time because of traffic. There was no word of apology or explanation from driver as well as absence of sms from FlixBus with information on bus delayed arrival. And when the bus arrived eventually it didn't has FlixBus logo as well. I didn't have any idea that this is the bus I'm waiting until the driver came out and told me that FlixBus subcontracts this company. All in all, it's ridiculously irresponsible and careless business. Pay a little bit more for railroad ticket and have piece of mind (well, unless they have a strike). Anyway, no FlixBus for me anymore while travel Europe. read more

Flixbus is a nightmare. I waited for over two hours on July 13 to catch my bus from Brugge to Dusseldorf. There was no message from the bus company to inform about this delay. The bus was at 5.20pm and by 7.30pm there were no other bus or train options left to reach Dusseldorf. As tourists, this was an unimaginably stressful experience, not knowing how to reach our intended destination. The tourist information at Brugge was also closed by this time, nobody was attending the phone at flixbus contact info (it would keep going to the recorded message instead of someone attending) and neither was there any flixbus office or counter at the station. Eventually we had to catch a train to Brussels to try to reach Dusseldorf, but by 8.30pm - when the train reached Brussels - there were no bus or train options left. I got a message at 9pm from Flixbus to say that the bus will be 2.5 hours late - this was nearly four hours after they were supposed to inform us. The first bus from Dusseldorf to Berlin was at 6am the next morning and there were no trains either. Because of this, we had to then look for a hotel in Brussels, stay the night and get tickets for the next day. Flixbus did not even bother to refund the ticket for the Brugge to Dusseldorf leg, let alone care to compensate for the delay and awful inconvenience. I have emailed flixbus about this at least 5 times, but there is nothing but an automated response from their end. I had also travelled on Flixbus a day before that on July 12 from London to Brugges, and even there the bus got an hour and a half late because the conductor refused to wait for one passenger for two mins, made us pass through the border, only to come pick him back again and waste an hour and a half for everyone else. Flixbus definitely needs some sense of importance of time and customer service. There were no toilets or WIFI on the bus either although the bus website said it would. Truly pathetic service. read more

FlixBus, the staff in general are very rude (with the exception of one driver who was on his own, he apologised for us for being 45 minutes late and no wifi). We have been on 5 Flixbuses with only 1 with wifi, we booked with Flixbus because they stated they have wifi, wifi is important to us as we have no mobile coverage on our devices AND we need it to contact our hosts with arrival times, ordering Uber or taxi on arrival. We asked one driver from another Flixbus for information on our very late bus, he told us it was held up in traffic and that we would know were it will be when it eventually arrives as it is the "big green bus". We were waiting for a "big green bus" at Prague bus station today but could only see a double decker bus of another company at the platform our Flixbus was supposed to leave from, so we asked for information from them about our bus and were told it was our bus and it had replaced as the original Flixbus was broken. This was said in a manner that we should have realised that this was normal practice. When it came to loading our bags which one of the drivers normally does, the storage bay was about 1.5 mtrs off the ground. The bus driver expected me to load our own 2x 20kg suitcases and when I explained that lifting the cases that high for me was not safe, he shrugged his shoulders to indicate that if I didn't that they could stay where they were on the side of the platform as he had no intention of helping me. When we changed buses at Dresden, the driver opened the cargo door and stood back letting the passengers load there own bags not helping at all, on arrival in Berlin the driver opened the cargo doors and went to the front of the bus and had a cigarette just watching the ensuing chaos as a full bus load of people trying to locate and unload their bags at the same time as the new passengers were trying to load theirs. The buses in general were fine except for the lack of wifi and the bad attitude of the staff, plus it was the total indifference to their passengers that irked me. We will be choosing the "big yellow buses" from now on. read more

I took a Flixbus from Las Vegas to Tucson AZ and want to warn anyone using the bus to make sure you have unique luggage so there are not any mix ups. A passenger took my bag by mistake and I am finding Flixbus to be very slow in assisting. They refused to call the passenger (we knew who it was as she left her bag behind) and only directed me to an online claims form with a 30 day turn around time! It has been a week and I have gotten no response from my online form. read more

Coming from a driver, bad experience with FlixBus, very aggressive behavior, not letting me budge into a lane (for no reason, there was space but driver would keep moving forward blocking traffic behind me) when I was turning onto a main road. Heated argument between me and both drivers of the company bus. Changed my thoughts of ever travelling with this company. read more

I came all the way from San Francisco and only had one cup of coffee and one cup of water that I had with me. We had so many stops before LA and never given a chance to buy water since all the stops are not close to any store that sells water. It's not friendly to ones health. They need to give some considerations to people coming from distant places to make sure they have water for hydration. read more

Not recommended - My experience with - Flixbus Cologne Airport to London 10th April I travelled from Frankfurt to London on 10th April. I started from Frankfurt at 5.30 pm or so and we reached Cologne airport at 8 pm or so. The lady bus driver was shrude enough not to tell where the connecting bus would come. Anyways it was simple, but gesture of the lady was unfriendly. The bus had a connection at cologne south airport at 9.05 pm. This bus got delayed by 7 hrs and as a matter of pacifying all passengers got a message about a free travel coupon by flixbus. Which I have not yet received till time. Anyways, this is a different issue but more importantly please read what happened that night. I must say this was a nightmare journey for me and all other passengers. There were few passengers with kids. I would briefly tell what happened: 1. The bus was at 9.05 pm in the night. First we got a message that bus will be delayed by one hr. That was fine. Then after an hour we got message that delayed by 3 hrs. Then after another 2 hrs we got message that delayed by 4hrs 40mts, then got message that delayed by 6hrs 40mts and then got message that delayed by 6 hrs 55mts. Till time everyone lost patience, children of passengers crying, etc. Some passangers tried to connect with helpline, but contacting them was of no use. Can a bus get delayed by 7 hrs? Shouldn't have a new bus been arranged in this time? 2. There was no provision for passengers stay or any other comfort arranged during this delay time. It was our luck that the pickup point was airport, so we got in and could somehow manage this time. Think of it was in some remote place or think of someone who is getting in from a remote pick up point. There was a counter of flixbus in airport, but no one was available during this time. We stayed almost 8 hrs at that site. 3. When the bus came, we got a little relieved only to know when it started that heater of the bus is not working. Though it is April, but still at night it was cold enough and we required heater, but it was not working. 4. Toilet out of order in bus. Imagine people waiting whole night for the bus and then the heater not working and on top of it toilets also out of order. We were not able to use toilets till 12 noon, till we reached the checkpoint. I had office urgent meetings and had a bad face in office. I Had to apply for leave. Can surely say my worst ever journey of life. Who is going to compensate for all these. read more

Not reliable!! Will leave you stranded!! My son took this bus from Oakland to USC. One stop away from USC it sat and sat (apparently broken down). After a while, the driver told everyone another bus was coming in 15 minutes. They finally got going again after 1.5 hours. On his way home, he was standing at the bus stop at 11:00pm, waiting and waiting. After 30 minutes everyone waiting got a text that the bus was not going to come and "sorry for the inconvenience" and there were no other busses in service! They were just left stranded at 11:30pm. No mention of a refund and/or how to get a refund. So now we have to deal with that and it looks like it won't be easy. Do not use this company. I've heard that MegaBus is more reliable. read more

Flixbus is a horrible company. Make sure to read reviews before embarking on your trip. Last night waited 2 and a half hours in Riverside and bus never showed up. Customer service is a joke and you dont wait at a bus station you in a random parking lot so there is no one there to help you or advise you off any problems. read more

When we went to Las Vegas, we took FlixBus there and back. Going up was fine, but not coming back. We were scheduled to leave Las Vegas at 9:55 pm. We got to the departure site at 9:20, where there was no place to sit. Another man, whose ticket said the same time, was there. My husband, who is 77 and in poor health, and I stood there until 10:40pm when another couple showed up. They said they had a ticket for 11:55pm. The 1st man called his dad and had him check his ticket on their website. The time had MAGICALLY changed to 11:55pm! His father said there were NO emails informing him of this change. I do NOT have the ability to check my email if I am not at home. The bus FINALLY came at 12:15, and we were allowed to board. When we got home I checked my email. I have 2 emails from them, but both say the time was 9:55pm. NOTHING they sent me changed the time, although they had my cell phone #. They COULD have sent me a text message! I sent a complaint to FlixBus and just received a reply. They said, "Please be assured that we have reviewed your statement and confirm that your bus arrived and departed with a delay of 25 minutes." NO, it was TWO HOURS & 25 MINUTES LATE! I still have the tickets to prove it. They are taking no responsibility at all! I am beyond angry! I will NEVER use FlixBus again!!!!!! read more

Pathetic Customer Service and arrogant Social media management Guys these guys don't care abt their customers... It's been 2 months, 50+ followup but no resolution by on my lost luggage claim because of gross negligence of driver. Either they respond to your grievances or send a generic reply and go to sleep. They really don't support/help customer when it is needed most. Please avoid using their services. read more

Please be very careful with FlixBus! On their App, Anaheim stop is at S-2 of Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center. We got there early and checked all over the place twice and didn't see bus from FlixBus. Late a security guy told us that FlixBus are not allowed to pick up guests. At least that explained why we didn't see their bus. I've tried to call them but there is nobody picking up the phone. FlixBus is a joke! read more

We have bought two tickets go and come back from Paris to Innsbruck. Main aim of the trip was skiing. On official website it is written that we can take bulky luggage, just need to call not earlier that 48 hours in advance. So, 48 hours in advance i call them and they say - NO, you can not take your snowboard, there is no place. - Ok, then what solution you can propose? - To exchange the date of the tickets! - But we have already accommodation booked and paid! Ok, may be one of us exchange the date of ticket, but be able to take ski equipment. - You have to pay 25 euros extra for exchange because of difference in price. - Ok... Then i asked how do we do to return. And answer was - NO WAY! Because they have only double-decker buses that can not at all take ski equipment! We were very angry that woman in call center did not tell us this before. She knew, but didn't tell! So, we can not take ski equipment at all in Flixbus, there is no way, we pay extra to travel separately and it was absolutely useless. Than we wanted to come back just to initial booking to travel, ok, without equipment, but at least together. And.. we had to pay 20 euros more for this!!! Finally, we took the bus, bus itself is ok, not bad, with wifi and toilet. Drivers are brutal, area to wait the bus is outside (in cold) and there is no indication at all. The only good thing about this company - tickets are cheap (if you buy in advance). read more

I went to my pick up area to wait for this FlixBus Green Bus to pull up. After waiting 20 minutes a white bus pulled up and people starting walking towards it. I noticed I was going to be left alone. I approached the bus and noticed a guy with FlixBus clothes on. He stated that they had to use another bus company to take us to Los Angeles. The bus did not have Wi-Fi or power outlets and it was old, very disappointing. My returning trip was a nightmare I was dropped of by Uber to the pickup spot and then I received a text message that the bus would be Delay 2 hours. The spot was an empty unsecured parking lot that was dirty with homeless people camp out and strange people walking around. It also was the home for Aladdin Bail Bond. I am a senior with a knee sprain and joint effusion who had a knee brace and crutches standing on a corner totally confused and I felt unsafe. I took the bus because I could not drive or fly with my injury. The GPS system does not work because no one could find the bus, several people called customer service and we found out they all read the same script " the bus is on its way". They were in Europe and did not have clue about the bus or my location. A bus arrived 3 hours 20 minutes late it was not a FlixBus they parked a block away from pick up spot and made us walk a block and cross a busy street without cross walks it was not safe. I was the last to make to the bus because and could not walk fast. Please forward to Andre Schwammlein, Jochen Engert and Daniel Krauss to follow up. How would you feel if your mother was stranded in a dark park a lot for 3 hours 20 minutes in another state with her purse, jewelry, cell phone, luggage and not able to physical defend herself? It was scary!! read more

I just hope there could be a replaced bus company in Germany to change this stupid Flixbus. It seems like this company doesn't even have a training system for the employees: 1, the drivers never count on the passengers after break time (they drive away WHENEVER they want), just left the passengers before the fixed break time. 2, the customer service's attitude is the MOST BOSSY ever! I asked them to find my lost suitcase because it was with the driver for sure, and they dont provide me the phone number (I can understand), but at least you guys can contact the driver internally! no, they are TOO LAZY to do nothing! and I asked to call the police to solve this problem if they dont help me. this customer service just said: YEAH GO AHEAD. What a FREAKING NICE company ?!!!!!!!!!! read more

Reasonable bus service, just watch you don't get caught out with a cancelled ticket. Caveat emptor - if you buy ticket on internet and then flixpirate fail to take the money from your account they will cancel the ticket and you have to pay more than double in cash when you arrive at the bus, even though your flashy flixbus/flixpirate app still shows a valid ticket - beware - two 18euro tickets cost me 89 euros to get on the Prague bus at Nuremberg. read more

I had the worse experience ever with this company and I didn't even get to ride the bus! First of all I purchased two round trip tickets from Houston to NOLA. Our tickets were from Friday to Sunday. Now on Thursday before the trip Houston flooded some. However there was no email or call or text send out so I still got up the next morning and headed to the bus. Got all the way downtown and waited. We were suppose to be loaded and on the bus and ready to depart by 10:30am. At 10:45am I notice the bus was still not here. I called and they told me that the bus was not coming. So I asked why wasn't I informed. The CSR stated he didn't know why. So I said I want a refund of the entire round-trip now. I also asked him how long would that take. He rudely ask me " Uh ma'am you don't know how the refund process works" I told him to refund the whole damn trip now. Then he said yes ma'am. Then about 10 minutes after that I received and email that the trip was cancelled. Because we had already booked the hotel. My bf and I just decided to rent a vehicle and drive to NOLA. We got to NOLA and had a wonderful time. Then on Sunday, (our day we are driving back) I get several emails from Flixbus telling me they rebooked my trip from NOLA to Houston for free for me and the bus would be ready to leave at 3:30pm. I was confused and pissed but I had already received an email letting me know that the trip was cancelled and that I would be receiving my refund in a few days. So I wait a while because I'm thinking the emails are computer generated. Oh no, they weren't. Then I get another email telling me that the damn bus was going to be 3 hours late going from NOLA to Houston. So this was when I got mad and decided to call. I talk to the first CSR who was RUDE!!!! And it was clear he just wanted to get me off the phone. I explain to him what I had already been through and asked him to cancel the trip and give me a refund for today. He stated that he can't do that. Also if I want to cancel the trip it was my responsibility to go to the website find the cancellation form and email it in. Even though I didn't want to do that. I went on the website. I couldn't find the form. I called back and the second guy said the same thing. So finally I was like sir can I speak to a supervisor. He stated "Why do you want to do that, Ma'am can you just do what I asked you to do and fill out the form" I was so taken back I didn't know what to say. At that point my boyfriend stepped in and stated hey we need to speak to a supervisor now.!! He said okay and transfer me to someone who walked us through the process to fill out the form to get our refund. At this point we are still waiting for our refund. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN!!! read more

Rip-off merchants. I recently hired a bus in Munich for a work event. Not cheap for what was at most 20 minutes each way. The bus was too large for my group and as a result it was unable to drop us off at the agreed spot. Despite being at the agreed location for the return journey in good time, the bus did not show. I rang the driver to no avail. My clients had to take cabs to get home, leaving me looking rather foolish. On getting home I immediately emailed FlixBus. However, since admitting fault would entail them giving me a 50% rebate for services not rendered, they have decided that their driver was at the agreed spot and actually waited on station for over 3 hours (which is quite impossible given that it is a very busy thoroughfare and there are no long term parking spaces for a vehicle that size). I feel very badly let down by FlixBus and their offer of a E50 voucher for my next trip shows just how out of touch they are: they really expect me to use their services in future? A E50 voucher might be useful for those moments when you discover to your horror that there is no toilet paper left, but that is it. read more

I have the same issue as another traveler, Heather H on 4/4/18. Their cancellation and refund policies are absurd and missleading. I booked a Flixbus which I then had to cancel due to circumstances out of my control. When you cancel they automatically send you a voucher for another trip in their company. I don't live in Europe and couldn't use a new booking. They say that is their policy, you cancel you get voucher for a small cancelation fee! For refund they tell you to not use the ticket, contact the company with proof of non utilisation and negotiate refund with a higher "cancelation fee". It is either you cancel and get voucher OR you contact them. The contact given in the terms and conditions is invalid and mail returned. Contact through their website is filtered and first automatically answered. When you finally get a person they are rigidly reinforcing their absurd rules. You are stuck paying and feeling cheated and misslead. read more

7 hours for a planned 4 hour trip from Milan to Zurich. Restrooms out of order causing 2 unplanned 20-30 minute stops. Traffic related delays for tunnels through the alps. No apologies, just a quick announcement that traffic delays were not the fault of the driver. Well, if not for the bathroom stops at horrible rest areas, perhaps we would have been ahead of the traffic at the tunnels. Take the train. read more

This company is horrible DO NOT ride with them . They delayed my bus 16 hours and instead of being able to foresee how long it would delay they gradually increased It from 2 hours to 6 hours to 9 hours etc . Leaving me and my girlfriend to spend overnight in a really cold bus station harassed by vagrants and birds that flew into the station . , when I emailed them to ask for a refund they replied with a generic automated response telling me once I boarded they could not issue a refund . I can bare with small delays 5 hours especially if informed ahead of time but they were really unprofessional not to mention the staff who would curse be unprofessional etc . Overall a bad company DO not ride with them . I will do everything in my power to make sure they are not well received . read more

Me and about 10 other people missed the fix bus in copenhagen, because apparently it left from a different bus top than the one we were waiting at. Although, we were at the exact location as shown on the maps that come with the tickets. The bus stop we were waiting at had a huge flixbus sign and it was right next to all other bus stations from the other companies, so it was reasonable to assume that the fix bus would leave there. The simple fact that 11 people missed the bus just shows how unstructured the company is. read more

Could be better. I took Flixbus from Innsbruck to Berlin but the driver was somehow angry (old man) and he tried to leave my luggage+bags to the Munich station. Other people had to say about what he was doing. Had to pay 10e for keeping the bags in the bus, I had just 1handbag and 1 luggage. Driver didn't take any payment from German or Austrian tourists only from me because I'm a foreigner. Flixbus is better in Germany and in Austria worst. read more

Where do I begin. About three weeks ago I purchased tickets with this company, I entered in my card details. Great I though, oh how I was wrong. System error, I went straight to my bank account to see if the money was taken, it was. I then contacted this company by email, no reply. Since the bus was due to leave the following day, I needed my tickets. I contacted through facebook, there is many people who manage the account there, so one never knows who you are talking to. A woman told me that she doesn't know what happened, but that if I wanted to go on the bus I needed to re-enter my details and pay DOUBLE the price. Being left with no options I stupidly an regretfully did! BIG MISTAKE. The people here told me they have NO idea when I will get my money back, and they had an attitude to suggest I'm never getting my money back, not one bit helping. a month later I'm still waiting.... God only knows if I'll ever see that money again. Ok, here's the horrible part. Yesterday I purchased a ticket to departure on 02/10/2015 for 11:35am. I arrived at the bus stop at 11:00am. Excited about my trip. Busses came and busses went, but no sign of ''Meinfernbus'' no where to be seen! So at 12! I contacted a friend, and she rang the hotline, the woman there was extremely rude and said she'll find out. Later on she then said she asked the bus driver, and he ''obviously'' said he did come to the stop. But you know guys we are now in year 2015. I'm pretty sure there are cameras all OVER the bus stop where the bus was supposed to come. So if this company blind sides me and says. ''Where's your proof?'' Check the cameras in the area I will say. I then forked out 50 euro for a train ticket. Meinfernbus, avoid at all costs. http://www.eba.bund.de/EN/Passenger_Rights/passrights_node.html Above is a link to my rights as a passenger, They have been contacted. read more

AVOID THIS COMPANY. I travelled 2 times, both were the worst trips of my life. 1rst one, the bus crashed a car in Switzerland. The police stopped us, the driver had no money to pay and we were delayed for 3 hours. The company did not even contact us. 2nd one. I had 2 cheap tickets, I wanted to change them to travel earlier. I was informed that it was not possible, so I took 2 other very EXPENSIVE tickets. The bus stopped in a gas station in the middle of nowhere. I went down with my mother to the bathroom cause she was feeling sick, when we went back to the bus, it was not there (I was checking the hour). I had to beg people in the station to give me a ride. I wrote to the customer service, they say I was never in the bus. Curious because I left a bag in the bus! It disappeared. The worst customer service I had experience. Careless company read more

During our return from Paris we our flixbus encountered a 3 hour delay. After contacting our bus driver 2 hours before our original arrival time (to make sure we could reach our connection from flixbus in Antwerp), we were assured that all measures were taken to guarantee our transport to Groningen. However, on arrival there was nothing to assure this and our busdriver left us behind. After not being able to reach Flixbus for two times 15 minutes, we were told by a busdriver (Flixbus) to have some food and try again later. Later also did not help and we were left on our own for 1,5 hours after which we had to arrange our own stuff to try to reach our destination. Furthermore, we tried to cooperate with 5 flixbus drivers. All of them told us to 'fuck off'. And one driver who didn't know I spoke Dutch, insulted my girlfriend and issued discriminating slurs based on her ethnicity and religion. After having extensive email contact (around 15 emails), 5 phone calls and 3 times the exact same assurance that our payment would be taken care of (earliest about 2 months ago), we still have not received any compensation. Furthermore, Flixbus only takes into account compensation for extra travel costs. We have not received an apology for all other costs incurred and we have not been provided with a clear answer to our questions to this date. 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
