Unaccompanied Minors

Date posted: February 21, 2008

nakedbus.com® is a no frills service. As such we cannot give special instructions to drivers as this complicates our operation and increases our costs.

No child under 12 may travel alone. Unaccompanied minors 12 and over are accepted on the understanding that they will be met at both ends of the trip. While the driver will keep an eye on them, the driver will not be responsible for them, particularly at intermediate/rest stops.

For your childrens safety unaccompanied minors cannot travel on nakedbus.com overnight services.

An unaccompanied minor (someone aged 12 – 16) may not be responsible for another unaccompanied minor, or anyone under the age of 12.

Please note the following:

  • Make sure your child is put on the bus by a parent/guardian
  • All unaccompanied minors must travel with a completed unaccompanied minors form which can be found on the customer details page during the booking process.
  • Unaccompanied minors aged 12-16 years of age cannot travel on nakedbus.com overnight services.
  • The child is responsible for ensuring they are back on the bus after rest stops
  • Make sure your child is met at the destination by a parent/guardian. You MUST be at the stop 20 minutes before the scheduled arrival time, in case the bus arrives early. The bus driver is not able to wait if there is no parent/guardian there.
  • Your child must wear a seatbelt if one is available.
