Please note: In the event that a passenger cannot be located (whatever the reason), all close by areas are checked and every effort is made to locate the passengers and avoid subsequent complaints. In such instances, it is not uncommon for the coach to be held up for 10 to 15 minutes whilst a search is made. However, if a 'fail to Load” occurs, permission is always s sought by the Coach Driver before the Coach departs. If the passengers in questions later return to the Travellers’ Information Desk (Melbourne Airport), the passenger will be accommodated on the next available service. The wait time may be up to one hour.

Important: SUNBUS AUSTRALIA does not reimburse any taxi fares incurred as a result of passengers’ Failure to Load on the service booked. However, in the event that the Failure to Load was a direct result of a SUNBUS error, SUNBUS will reimburse the applicable SUNBUS fare to the booking agent.
