Inside a VIP Bus
Modern Volvo VIP coach
25 wide reclining seats
Complimentary snacks & drinks
Tehran West Terminal
We book both outbound and return tickets together — just add the date and we'll coordinate everything.
For journeys longer than 6 hours (Tehran–Mashhad, Tehran–Shiraz, Tehran–Tabriz), always choose the overnight departure. You travel while you sleep and save an entire night's hotel cost. The reclining seats make overnight trips genuinely comfortable.
During Nowruz (Persian New Year, late March) and autumn peak (Oct–Nov), buses sell out days in advance — especially Tehran–Mashhad, which is Iran's busiest route. Book at least 7–10 days ahead during these periods. Contact us early and we'll secure your seats first.

The oldest and biggest intercity operator in Iran with a fleet of 500+ coaches. Known for punctuality and the widest route network — our default recommendation on most routes.
Consistently rated among the most comfortable VIP fleets — newest Volvo & Scania coaches with seat monitors and WiFi. Our top pick for overnight journeys.
Excellent on central-Iran routes (Kashan, Isfahan, Yazd) with the most frequent daily departures — ideal when you need flexible timing.
Strong VIP service on Tehran–Shiraz and Tehran–Mashhad corridors. Spacious 25-seat layout with attentive on-board assistants.
One of Iran's historic operators, strongest on western routes (Tabriz, Kermanshah, Hamadan) and the Tehran–Rasht Caspian corridor.
On regional corridors (Shiraz–Yazd, Yazd–Kerman) we also book trusted regional operators like Mihan Noor, Giti Peyma and Asia Safar — always vetted for safety record.
Delays are rare but possible in winter or heavy traffic. We monitor your departure and message you on WhatsApp if anything changes. No action needed on your side — just stay reachable.
Plans change — tell us at least 3 hours before departure and we'll move you to a later bus on the same day free of charge (subject to availability). Date changes follow the cancellation policy.
Message us immediately — in most cases we can rebook you on the next available departure for a small rebooking fee (typically €2–3) instead of a full new ticket. Buses run every few hours on major routes.
