Purchasing a Greyhound ticket is not only affordable, but easy. We offer five easy ways to purchase a ticket:
- Buy Tickets Online: We currently offer a variety of advance purchase and unrestricted fares, including student, senior, children’s and military fares. Tickets can be printed at home, purchased for pickup at the terminal using our Will Call service. Credit card and Email address is required for Print at Home purchases. If you select the Will Call option, the credit card number entered on the website must match the number on the card. Debit cards or debit cards with a credit card logo are accepted.
Buy tickets over the phone: Canadian customers who call our toll-free number 1-800-661-TRIP (8747) may purchase tickets using a Canadian credit card.
Buy tickets at a Greyhound terminal: Greyhound operates terminals nation-wide where tickets are sold. You can purchase tickets weeks in advance or for next available bus. Greyhound accepts cash and traveler’s cheques as well as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Interact and Diners Club.
Buy tickets at a Greyhound agency: In addition to our major terminals Greyhound offers ticket services at independent agents across Canada. These locations accept cash and traveler’s cheques and most accept major credit and debit cards. We do not accept personal or company cheques or money orders.
