Medical devices required for travel are carried in addition to the luggage limitations. Childrens strollers may also be carried in addition to the luggage limitations, maximum one per passenger, provided that they are properly folded and capable of being stowed in the luggage compartment. Where additional luggage is accepted for travel by the bus operator or dispatcher, megabus.com does not guarantee that the luggage will be carried on any subsequent service the customer intends to use. No refunds will be issued in respect of travel plans cancelled by the customer as a result of their excess luggage being refused on subsequent services.
