Article Structure

Traveling can be an exciting adventure, especially for children embarking on their own journeys. The Greyhound Unaccompanied Minor form is a vital tool for ensuring the safe passage of children aged 12 to 14 who are traveling without an adult companion. This form must be printed, completed, and signed before handing it over to a Greyhound employee at the departure point. Accompanied by the form, parents or guardians must provide pertinent information such as the child’s name, age, any medical conditions, and contact details for both the adult responsible for the child at departure and pick-up points. It is crucial to remember that without the completed form, a child will not be allowed to board the coach. Stricter policies are in place for younger children under 12, requiring them to be accompanied by a chaperone. Specific conditions must also be met regarding food provisions and the presence of responsible adults to ensure that children travel comfortably and safely. Understanding and completing the Unaccompanied Minor form simplifies the process and helps foster a smooth travel experience for all involved.
