When you purchase a bus ticket from Bordeaux to Tours, your journey will typically be serviced by ALSA, which is a Spanish subsidiary of the UK company National Express. ALSA allows its customers to bring a certain amount of luggage for free, which includes luggage up to 66 pounds. If you want to bring up to 44 extra pounds of luggage, you can do so by paying an additional fee. All luggage that cannot fit inside of the bus in the overhead compartment must be placed in the storage area underneath the bus. It is also possible to purchase insurance through ALSA. Travelers have the right to bring a carry-on item and a personal item as well, but keep in mind that these need to be stored either in the overhead compartment inside of the bus, or underneath your seat.
