How to book a ticket for a minor?

If you’re traveling with a child or teenager, here are the boarding rules based on age groups:

Children aged 0 to 5

  • Do they need a ticket? No! Children under five travel for free. Just pick up the ticket at the counter before boarding. In this case, the child travels on your lap and doesn’t occupy a seat.
  • Do they need to be accompanied? Yes, always! They must travel with their parents or legal guardians.
    For boarding with siblings, uncles, aunts, or grandparents, you’ll need the child’s birth certificate and a document proving the relationship.
  • Required documents: The child must have a birth certificate or ID (if available), and the accompanying adult must have an official document proving the relationship.
  • Can they use a car seat? Absolutely! For added safety, you’ll need to reserve a seat for the child and bring the car seat. Just confirm with the bus company in advance regarding their rules for using car seats.

Children aged 6 to 15

  • Do they need a ticket? Yes, a full-price ticket is required.
  • Do they need to be accompanied? Yes, they must be accompanied by a relative up to the third degree (parents, siblings over 18, grandparents, uncles, or legal guardians).
  • Required documents: ID or birth certificate for the child and an official document proving the relationship for the accompanying adult.
    For boarding with siblings, uncles, or grandparents, you’ll also need the child’s birth certificate and a document proving the relationship.
  • What if the adult is not a relative? In this case, a written authorization signed by the legal guardian, with a notarized signature, is required.

Minors aged 16 and 17

  • Do they need a ticket? Yes, a full-price ticket is required.
  • Do they need to be accompanied? No, they can travel alone.
  • Required documents: An official photo ID.

 

Important Information

  • If travel authorization is required, you can issue it virtually through e-Notariado.
  • For international trips without parents, or if the minor needs to travel unaccompanied by a legal guardian or relative for justified reasons, a court-issued authorization is mandatory.
  • These rules generally apply to interstate trips. For intermunicipal trips, consult the bus company for details.

We don’t offer free tickets for children through our system.
