Welcome to our dedicated Coach Operator page, with thanks for your interest. Read on ...

Interski

We operate exclusively to the Aosta Valley, NW Italy, using three resorts – Courmayeur, La Thuile, Pila. Depending on the season, we anticipate 12,000 – 14,000 clients. The majority of our holidays involve executive coach transport, with up to 300 ex-UK departures between the months of December and April. Standard tours involve Saturday departures, 6 nights in resort, with return arrival in the UK on Sunday am. An increasing number of clients opt for 5 night tours, with vehicles returning to the UK on Saturday (cost differential). The resort operation is refined, efficient, effective – staffed by a talented, experienced team. Back-up, help, information and assistance are never far away, and always in abundance.

• Recent (maximum 4 years) executive vehicles, 49 seats (+), in white (to apply our livery)

• Professional crews, seriously customer-focussed. CRB checked

The work

Very simple. Transport to and from Italy (Dover/Calais P & O) with daily transfers hotel/main ski lifts am and pm. Evening work involving transfers hotel/variety of après-ski venues/events.

Payment

On signature of contract, substantial deposit per liveried vehicle. Balance payment, per vehicle, during the week following return (Sunday). End of programme reconciliation.

Contract

A unique system, conceived to eliminate Operator risk, to protect against fuel and currency fluctuations and to provide prompt and regular income during the programme.

How does it work?

Payment for each departure is calculated as follows:

• A core payment, taking into account distance from Operator base to Dover and bearing in mind the necessity (or not) for feeder drivers
• A UK fuel payment based on 10 mpg and accurate mileage/km. The fuel cost/litre is declared at the beginning of each month, and applies to all departures within that month.
• A continental fuel payment, based on 10 mpg and accurate mileage/km CALAIS/RESORT/CALAIS, and including 200 in-resort miles. The continental fuel cost and value of £/€ (tourist rate) are declared at the beginning of each month and apply to all departures within that month.
• Continental tolls and Mont Blanc Tunnel payment. £/€ (tourist rates) values are declared at the beginning of each month and apply to all departures within that month.

The core payment is constant. Other costs are paid according to their true value. The system removes risk for the Operator, who is reimbursed precisely in line with expenditure.

The system

Each Monday, Interski provides an estimated calculation of variable costs above for the vehicles returning the Sunday prior. Subject to mutual agreement - Interski/Operator - these costs, together with the core payment, are provided on the Wednesday/Thursday.

Summary

• Deposit on contract signature
• Core payment, UK mileage/km, continental mileage/km, continental tolls and Mont Blanc Tunnel – paid weekly
• End of programme reconciliation

Interski drivers

A number of Interski resort staff are qualified coach drivers. For logistical reasons, they may be required to drive the Operator’s vehicles in resort (departure day shuttles/double runs etc).
