calls in 2026 from students who had been let down
Every year we hear from frustrated and deeply unhappy students who call us because the student truck they booked never turned up – for a variety of reasons. It is so tragic for young people who should be having an unforgettable day that they will talk about and remember for many years to come.
Involve your parents
Remember to involve some parents so they can support you before you make the big decision of booking a student truck from the right company.
Use the checklist below
Below you can see what we recommend your class checks before booking a student truck. If you are unsure which company to choose, we hope it helps you make the right decision.
What to check
The trucks, safety and equipment
Questions to ask a company before you book – and our own answers.
How many student trucks does the company have?
We have 20 student trucks.
Does the company have a backup truck in case of a breakdown?
We have a backup truck that is identical in colours and interior.
When does the company have its student trucks inspected?
Our student trucks are inspected in May/June, so we know they are in good order, the brakes work and so on. This gives you and your families peace of mind that our trucks have just passed their inspection and are mechanically sound.
Do the company’s student trucks have a roof? Can the sides be rolled down if it rains?
Our student trucks always have a roof, for these two reasons:
- When the sun is shining, it is cooler for you under the roof. If it rains, you won’t get wet – and we can roll the sides down!
- Our driver knows how tall the student truck is. Without a roof you could stand on the table, and that can lead to a serious accident. Sadly, that happened in 2025, when 3 young people suffered serious head injuries!
Has the company gone the extra mile for safety on its student trucks?
We have the safest student trucks in the country. Our trucks are built in steel, so you can party with peace of mind without falling off.
Among other things, our trucks have the following, none of which is a legal requirement:
- Non-slip stairs
- Railings
- Bars along the sides with 20 cm gaps
- An emergency exit
- 6 kg powder fire extinguishers
What happens if a speaker or other equipment stops working?
We have service vans ready to drive out with new equipment from our stock.
Does the company offer draught beer if you book with them?
That is illegal for every company, as it requires an alcohol licence.
A draught beer system is available as an add-on on our student trucks. The class must bring its own keg of beer.
Price, payment and trust
Prices, payment and a reputable company
How much does a student truck cost?
It varies from company to company. Some offer trucks from DKK 12,500 up to around DKK 70,000.
Our student trucks cost from DKK 20,000, however many students there are in your class. Our student trucks are the best on the market for the price!
Why doesn’t a company show its prices on its website?
We can’t speak for other companies. But we think it is important that you can see what you will pay for what you want to buy. That is why we show our prices on our website.
Can you save money when booking a student truck?
You can always try to negotiate the price a little. We offer a price match for your sake.
Why does a truck with a sound box and wooden benches cost more than ours?
We can’t answer that. But of course we want to give you a better truck with better sound and the highest level of safety, which should give your class a better experience.
When should you book a student truck?
You can easily wait until the start of your second year (2.g) to book a student truck. We know some companies push you to hurry up and book before Christmas in your first year (1.g), but there is no need at all – unless you are completely sure which truck and company you want to book with.
Does the company want to be paid in cash for your graduation drive?
We do NOT accept cash. Our company pays our drivers a proper wage plus holiday pay, as the law requires, and we have insurance covering the students and our drivers.
If a company wants cash, remember to get a receipt/invoice for the amount.
Does the company have a CVR number and publish its accounts?
We have a CVR number (Danish company registration number) and publish our accounts. In 2022 we made a loss because we built 3 new student trucks and bought a competitor. By 2024 we were back in profit.
Can you find anything negative about the company on Google and social media?
Try searching for the name of the company you are thinking of booking with.
Can you trust Trustpilot?
Some companies have bad reviews removed from Trustpilot. So if you want to see whether they get bad feedback, keep an eye on them during graduation week, as companies can have bad reviews removed 3 days after receiving them.
