Fleet and features

Explore our range when you search for Fleet and features. From 24–33 seat mid-size coaches to 49–70 seat full-size executive coaches, each vehicle is chosen to match group size and trip type. Key features include air conditioning, reclining seats, onboard Wi‑Fi, power sockets, generous luggage space and, on larger coaches, toilets. Every coach is driven by a professional, fully licensed driver who handles navigation, parking and logistics so you can relax.

• Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats)

  Our mid-size coaches suit school parties, small corporate groups and family celebrations. They balance manoeuvrability with comfort and typically include air conditioning and ample luggage space.

• Full-size coaches (49–70 seats)

  For larger tour groups, wedding parties or race-day travel, Full-size coaches offer extra legroom, on-board amenities and restroom facilities on longer journeys.

• Minibuses (8–16 seats)

  When flexibility and cost-efficiency matter, minibuses are a smart option for smaller groups and short runs — still with a professional driver and luggage capacity to match.

Uses and events

Need inspiration? Our Uses and events cover everything from airport transfers and cruise ship meet-and-greets to school trips, concerts, weddings, sports fixtures and multi-day tours across the UK and Europe. Coaches are especially convenient for groups who want to travel together on their own schedule — no waiting at stations, no juggling multiple cars.

Airport transfers

Our Airport transfers include door-to-door service to Exeter Airport and connections to nearby hubs. We also coordinate cruise transfers to Plymouth and other ports, smoothing the transition between air, sea and road travel.

School trips

Teachers and trip organisers tell us they appreciate the ease of booking one vehicle and knowing students are supervised by a DBS-checked driver who understands school pickup routines, coach seat rules and safe loading.

Weddings

For weddings we time arrivals, provide clear luggage handling and offer flexible drop-offs so guests arrive together and leave together — that shared sense of convenience adds to the day’s calm.

Corporate outings

Corporate travel benefits from privacy and productivity: use the journey for briefings, networking, or just a quiet moment. Our drivers know local business districts and hotels, so travel plans stay on schedule.

Compare transport options

If you’re weighing options, our Compare transport options section helps. Compared with trains, private coach hire avoids timetables and multiple connections. Versus self-drive vans, you gain a dedicated driver, safety and the ability for everyone to travel together. Compared with minibuses, full-size coaches offer more comfort for longer journeys and extra luggage space when needed.

• Coach hire UK: travel together on your schedule with a driver who knows the route.
