Hop on and jet off! Born in 2011 as the brainchild of three uni mates—Daniel Krauss, Jochen Engert, and André Schwämmlein.
FlixBus revved into life after Germany’s bus market deregulation. What started as a cheeky idea over lectures (and probably a few pints) became a game-changer.
By 2013, they’d launched their first three routes in Bavaria, dodging train chaos and flipping the script on affordable travel.
Fast-forward a few years, and FlixBus wasn’t just a German gem—it became Europe’s go-to wheels, zipping from Glasgow grit to Barcelona beaches.
From scrappy startup to a €3 billion valuation by 2021 (thanks to investors like BlackRock and SilverLake), FlixBus has proper hustle.
They’ve bagged €500 million in funding rounds, rebranded as Flix SE in 2022, and even roped in giants like EQT and Kuehne + Nagel for a €1 billion stake in 2024.
Translation: they’re not just sticking to the tarmac—they’re building a travel revolution.

Whether they’re chasing sunsets or dodging drizzle, a FlixBus UK gift card screams, “The world’s your oyster… and it’s cheaper than a train!
