This page covers the refund route for Greyhound. The contact details below were taken from the official Greyhound contact page and are the routes Greyhound itself publishes for customers in South Africa.

Greyhound contact numbers
These routes were verified against the official Greyhound contact page on 21 August 2026. Contact numbers do change, so confirm on the official page before relying on one for anything urgent.
| What it is for | Contact |
|---|---|
| Contact centre and bookings (24 hours, 365 days) | 011 611 8000 |
| Bookings email | [email protected] |
The call centre operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Greyhound suspended South African operations in February 2021 after 37 years, and a great deal of what is still written online refers to that closure. It is now operating again and taking bookings through its own website, with a 24 hour contact centre. If you read elsewhere that Greyhound has closed, check the official site before acting on it.
Self-service options before you call
- Email to [email protected], which gives you a written record of what you asked and when.
- The official Greyhound booking office directory, for contact hours and the details held for a specific location.
- The official site at greyhound.co.za, which carries the current customer care details and any online enquiry form.
- Calling outside peak times. Monday mornings and the hour after 17:00 are usually the worst for South African contact centres.
What to have ready before you call
- A clear one line summary of what you need resolved.
- Your account, order or reference number if you already have one.
- The identity document or account holder details, since most South African providers verify who you are before discussing an account.
- Dates, amounts and any error message exactly as it appeared.
- A pen and paper for the reference number. Ask for one every time, because without it a follow up call starts from nothing.
Complaints and escalation
If a first call does not resolve the matter, escalate through the organisation’s own complaints process first, keeping every reference number issued.
Keep a short written log of each contact: the date, the channel you used, the name of the agent and the reference number. Most consumer complaint processes ask for exactly that history, and having it ready is usually the difference between a fast resolution and starting over.
Avoiding fake Greyhound contact numbers
Contact details for well known South African brands are a common target for impersonation. Numbers that look official appear in search ads, social media replies and cloned websites, and the person answering is not Greyhound.
- Reach Greyhound through the official site at greyhound.co.za rather than through a number in a search advert or a social media reply.
- Greyhound will never ask you for your full card number, PIN, CVV, online banking password or a one time PIN. Nobody legitimate needs those to help you.
- Treat any caller who creates urgency, asks you to install remote access software, or asks you to move money to a safe account as fraudulent, and end the call.
- If you are unsure whether a call was genuine, hang up and dial the official number yourself rather than calling back a number the caller gave you.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Greyhound contact number?
The routes Greyhound publishes on its official contact page are listed in the table above, with what each one is for. The main route is 011 611 8000. Confirm it on greyhound.co.za before relying on it, since numbers are changed from time to time.
How do I know a Greyhound number is genuine?
Check it against the official site at greyhound.co.za. A number that only appears in a search advert, a social media reply or a third-party directory should not be trusted for anything involving your account, your money or your identity document.
What should I do if nobody resolves my query?
Ask for the complaint reference and the escalation path on your first call, then follow the escalation route described above. Keep the dates, agent names and reference numbers, because every formal complaint process will ask for them.
Can ContactDetails.co.za resolve this for me?
No. We are an independent directory, not Greyhound, and we have no access to your account. Everything here is a routing aid so that you reach the correct official channel with the right information in hand.
Is there a cost to calling these numbers?
South African 0860 and 0861 numbers are charged at a share-call or standard rate depending on your provider, and 0800 numbers are toll free from a landline. Calls from a mobile are billed at your own operator’s rate, so check your plan if cost matters.
