Over the years we have been delivering our service to all types of customers, from day trips, airport transfers, long distance transfers, tours and corporate transfers, nights out and school trips we normally get a few questions from all type clients and we have put together a number of standard questions which we hope would clarify queries asked by people looking to get minibus hire and coach hire around the United Kingdom.

Minibus sizes can vary from 8 seater minibus to 12 seater minibus to 14 seater minibus to 16 seater minibus. Anything over a 16 seater minibus is classed as coach hire, large coaches and double Decker coaches, these vehicles can hold a large number of people up to 59 seater coaches.

In between the minibus and coaches are mid-sized buses / midi coaches typically holding 24 to 34 seats anything over the 34 seats will be classed as a coach hire
