Ticket day where and when
Be at the departure point 15 minutes before the bus leaves. If you are not there at the planned time, your seat can be given to another passenger for the next stop.

Ready for the bus?
Ready. Have a good trip.
Ticks stay on this device.
If Kamil Koç texts or e-mails you a new departure time, your seat is held until that time. Your ticket shows the current address of the departure point. The stops Kamil Koç lists in the biggest cities:
Esenler Otogar and Alibeyköy
Esenler Otogar is the Great Istanbul Bus Terminal. Your ticket shows which of the two your bus uses.
On the bus seats, host and sockets
Kamil Koç lists a host on its trips, free internet, sockets and seats in 2+1 and 2+2 rows. You can pick a pair seat, a single seat or a panorama seat in the front row.

Which seat?
Pair seat
Window or aisle, next to a friend or family member.
Single seat
A window seat on your own, when the trip offers it. It costs extra, and the fee depends on the distance.
Panorama seat
The front-row seats of the bus, with the widest view of the road.
On board
Host and snacks
A cabin attendant is on hand during the trip and refreshments are served. Ask the host if you need help.
Internet and sockets
Internet is free. Look for the socket or USB symbol at your seat. A phone can always be charged, a laptop not always.
House rules
Seat belts are compulsory. Smoking is not allowed, and that includes e-cigarettes. At stops and police checks passengers leave the bus when the driver or staff ask.
Bags what goes where
Each passenger carries 30 kg free in the hold, plus one hand bag or small backpack up to 7 kg. Over 30 kg costs extra: ask at the counter before you load.

Hold bag
18kg
Free: 30 kg per passenger in the hold. Over 30 kg costs extra: ask at the counter.

Over 30 kg costs extra. Ask at the counter before you load.

Over 7 kg is more than a hand bag. Move things into the hold bag.

- StrollerA stroller counts as normal baggage.
- BicycleA bicycle can come along if the bus has space, and it must fit the bag rules.
- Folding wheelchairA folding wheelchair or walking aid goes in the hold for free.

15 minutes to 1 hour before departure
A coupon, not cash
You get a cancellation coupon (an open ticket) for the ticket’s value. Use it within 6 months, says Kamil Koç’s services page (the 2023 sales terms give 12). A dearer new trip means you pay the difference.
Less than 15 minutes before departure
No cancelling
Kamil Koç does not accept a cancellation in the last 15 minutes. Change or cancel earlier.
Journeys that leave Türkiye
Cancellation fees apply
The 2023 sales terms set separate fees for trips outside Türkiye, and the fee grows as the date comes closer. Read the amount on your ticket before you cancel.
Rules: Kamil Koç’s services page and sales terms of 27.11.2023, counted from the planned departure time, checked 19.10.2026.
Children, pets and access
Children up to 6 can ride on an adult’s lap. Pets and accessibility have their own rules, so ask before you buy.
Who is travelling?
Children
Children from 0 to 6 can travel on an adult’s lap. For a child under 12 with a ticket of their own, the carriage terms of 24.11.2023 give 30 percent off, sold at ticket points only.
Under 18 alone
A parent or legal guardian must state in writing, when the ticket is bought, that the minor can travel unaccompanied. Proof of studying away from home, such as a student card, also works. Kamil Koç takes no responsibility for supervising the child.
Pets
Kamil Koç’s baggage page says cats and dogs travel in the hold only, sedated under a vet’s care, with a signed consent form. Its carriage terms of 24.11.2023 also allow a small caged pet in the cabin. Ask the call centre before you buy. More in travelling with pets in Türkiye.
Access
Tell Kamil Koç what you need before you buy; whether you can travel depends on the bus and the terminals. A folding wheelchair or walking aid goes in the hold for free. Terminals have their own operators, and Kamil Koç gives no guarantee about access there. A 40 percent discount for a documented disability of at least 40 percent is in the 2023 carriage terms, sold at ticket points only.
If the bus is late or cancelled
If your trip is cancelled, you can take another route to your destination as soon as possible on similar terms, or ask for your money back. The refund is paid in cash within 14 days of your request.
Your seat waits for the new time
If Kamil Koç tells you the new departure time by text or e-mail, the rule that gives your seat away starts from that time.
Other route or refund
Your choice: continue as soon as possible by another route, or a refund within 14 days.
A new bus or a waiting point
If the bus cannot go on, Kamil Koç has to give you another vehicle or take you to a suitable waiting point.
