How to Hire A Coach or Minibus
Here are the answers to a few commonly asked questions when people are looking to hire a coach.
How much does it cost to hire a coach?
The price of a coach is based on a number of factors such as length of journey, vehicle size, time of year and times of travelling. Due to these factors combined with the seasonal fluctuations in demand, it is difficult to put fixed prices on journeys.
Can we eat and drink on a coach?
As a general rule of thumb, when hiring a coach food and drink are not allowed to be consumer on the coach. However, there are always exceptions to the rule and some operators are prepared to allow snacks so if you do want to consume food and drink ask us and we'll do our best to arrange it.
I'm planning an event, can you source more than one coach?
Absolutely. This is an area we specialise in, so if you are an event organiser and need to arrange the transportation of the attendees, contact us for advice.
We need to book a ferry for the coach - how do I book a ferry?
If you are planning a coach trip abroad, you will also need to consider booking a ferry for the coach. We can book the ferry for your coach, usually at a lesser cost than doing so yourself. If you enquire about booking a coach for a foreign trip, we will ask you if you want your ferry to be booked for you coach.
See Ferry prices for coaches for more information.
