The company provides safe and reliable travel at affordable prices. With more than 65 buses, its fleet provides comfortable journeys at great prices and is an ideal option for those looking for a budget-friendly experience.
Eagle Liner takes the safety of its passenger seriously. For that reason, buses are equipped with the security items, such as:

The staff is also highly trained in safety procedures and is constantly updated with the latest security information.
The company's buses are comfortable and have enough space for luggage. Some of the amenities available onboard are:

Before hopping on the bus, there are a few things you should know. For starters, passengers need to arrive at the departure point 30 minutes before the departure time shown on the tickets. To board the bus, passengers also need to show a valid ID or specific travel documents for cross-border journeys.
It's also important to note that Eagle Liner aims to offer a pleasant and comfortable ride, but cannot assure the availability of all amenities on each bus. Passengers have noted occasional malfunctioning power outlets, and delays caused by traffic or mechanical issues are common.
While providing some of the most affordable bus fares in the region, it should be noted that the cost of Eagle Liner tickets is indicative of the level of service to be expected.
Busbud partnered with Eagle Liner to help you book your next trip with ease and convenience. With Busbud, you can easily search for, browse, select and pay for the best routes and the best prices on the website or mobile app. Customers can download the app on Google Play and Apple iStore.

Children under three years old can travel free of charge, but only one baby per adult can travel. Any additional babies are of a normal fee. Children under three can also travel on their parents’‘ laps. Children under 12 cannot travel alone; they must always have a parent travelling with them. Children older than 12 but younger than 18 can travel alone as long as their parents sign the correct indemnity form, provide an affidavit from at least one parent when travelling in or out of South Africa, and (with a legal guardian) a court order proving legal rights.
There's nothing you can do if you miss the bus. However, you can cancel your ticket up to six hours before departure. If you do cancel your ticket, you're subject to a 20% cancellation fee. The refund will be paid back into your bank account within 15 business days.
If you cancel your ticket three hours before departure, you'll have to pay an additional fee. You're allowed to make an alternative booking to the same route, but you cannot cancel and refund the ticket you have already rebooked.
You cannot carry luggage unless you’re travelling with it. Eagle Liner allows a luggage allowance of one item not exceeding 20 kilograms for domestic trips and 30 kilograms for international trips. The maximum dimensions should be 80 centimetres by 60 centimetres by 60 centimetres. If your luggage exceeds that limit, it will either not be allowed, or you will pay extra. Eagle Liner is not responsible for any damage or loss done to your luggage and does not accept luggage at its discretion.
To board onto an Eagle Liner bus, you need to bring a valid ticket and identification documents, like an ID card. Children need to bring all this plus some more documents. As stated before, children older than 12 but younger than 18 can travel alone if their parents sign the correct indemnity form, provide an affidavit from at least one parent in cases of travel in and out of South Africa, and, in cases of a legal guardian, a court order proving legal rights.
