Whether it’s a run to Belfast Airport for a family send-off or putting the whole choir together for a weekend trip, we know the roads, the short cuts and where to find the best parking for big vehicles. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what matters: on-time pick-ups, comfortable seats and drivers who’ll treat your group like folk they know.
Vehicles & Features
Our fleet covers everything from compact options for tight-town jobs to roomy executive coaches for long-haul comfort.

Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats)
For school trips, small wedding parties or a club outing to the races, a Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats) hits the sweet spot. Plenty of room for legs and kit, and still nimble enough for village lanes around County Antrim.
Full-size executive & luxury coaches (49–70 seats)

Comparing Your Options
Choosing between coaches, minibuses, self-drive vans and trains can be dizzying. We’ve put together the key differences so you can pick what makes life easiest — and cheapest — for your group.
| Option | Comfort & Privacy | Cost for Groups | Convenience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private coach hire | High — travel together, reclining seats, luggage space | Very cost-effective per head for groups | Door-to-door, one vehicle, driver handles logistics |
| Minibus with driver | Moderate — cosy, good for small groups | Lower overall cost but fewer seats | Handy for short hops and tight streets |
| Self-drive van | Low — cramped, driver also responsible | Variable — cheaper for very small loads | Less convenient for groups needing a single schedule |
| Train | Good, but public and on fixed timetables | Can be economical, but add transfers and taxis | Depends on routes — not door-to-door |
How to Choose the Right Coach
A quick rule of thumb: count heads and kit first. If you’ve got 20–30 folks and luggage for a weekend away, go for a Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats). For match-days, weddings, or larger tour groups, a Full-size executive & luxury coaches (49–70 seats) keeps everyone together and comfortable. If your party is tiny or you need to nip into town for a corporate meeting, a Minibuses (8–16 seats) will do the job without straining the purse.
All our vehicles come with professional, fully licensed drivers who are used to the local quirks — they’ll handle navigation, parking, loading and any itinerary changes so your organiser can breathe easy.
