How to book intercity bus tickets on Green Bus, keep hold of them, cancel when plans change, and earn Green points along the way.

Booking

How to book

1 · Search & choose

Go to book.greenbus.sa (or the app), enter your route and date, and compare departures, prices and bus companies. Pick your trip and your seats.

2 · Passenger details

Enter each passenger's name exactly as on their ID, plus their Saudi ID, Iqama or passport number — the type is detected automatically, and passport holders add nationality. Returning travellers can reuse saved travellers instead of retyping.

3 · Your email & mobile

Your email address is required — it is your booking identity: tickets, lookups and Green points all run on it. Your mobile receives the SMS confirmation.

4 · Pay

Pay with mada, Visa, Mastercard or STC Pay. Your ticket appears instantly in Trips with a QR boarding pass, and a confirmation arrives by SMS. Depending on setup, you may also receive an email with a bilingual PDF copy of your ticket attached — the PDF never contains passenger ID numbers.

Your tickets

Where your tickets live

📱 On your phone

Tickets sit in Trips — no account, no password. The QR boarding pass works offline.

🔁 New phone or cleared history?

Open TripsFind my bookings and enter the email you booked with — we send a code and your tickets are restored, QR codes included.

🪪 At boarding

Show your QR code and carry the original ID used in the booking — names and IDs are on the bus company's passenger manifest and are checked at boarding.

🧾 Tax invoice

The bus company is the carrier and issues fare tax invoices on request — contact the company shown on your ticket with your booking reference (e.g. GB26-000123), or contact@greenbus.sa if you get stuck.

Changes & refunds

If plans change

↩️ Cancel free before the cutoff

Open your ticket and tap Cancel. It's free until the cancellation cutoff shown on the ticket, and the refund returns to your payment method automatically — usually within 5–14 days. After the cutoff, the ticket is non-refundable.

✏️ Need a different trip?

Trips can't be edited — cancel free before the cutoff, then book the departure you want.

🕋 Government travel restrictions

If a government restriction (for example seasonal Makkah entry rules) prevents your trip, affected bookings are cancelled with a full automatic refund. Permits and visas remain your responsibility.

💳 Paid but no ticket?

Give it a few minutes and check TripsFind my bookings. Failed bookings reverse to your card automatically. Still wrong? Message us with your booking reference.

Green points
