For medium-sized groups — sports teams, extended family days out or company shuttles — Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats) strike the right balance between manoeuvrability and space. They’re easier to park in town centres like Garstang’s Market Quarter, while still offering luggage space and comfortable seats for trips to Blackpool, Preston or a weekend in the Lake District.

Full-size coaches (49–70 seats)

When you need to move large parties for events such as race days, concert nights or multi-school outings, Full-size coaches (49–70 seats) provide room to relax, panoramic views from elevated seats and the amenities that make long journeys enjoyable. These vehicles are ideal for cruise transfers via Heysham or airport runs to Manchester and Liverpool.

Compare transport options

It’s worth weighing up alternatives. When you Compare transport options, private coach hire usually wins on convenience: one pick-up, one drop-off and no juggling between cars or timetables. Compared with trains or self-drive vans, a coach keeps your group together, offers privacy, and often works out more cost-effective when split across passengers.

Safety & professionalism

Safety is non-negotiable. Operators on our platform use fully licensed, insured vehicles driven by experienced, DBS-checked chauffeurs. Our customer service teams coordinate complex routes, multiple pickups or last-minute changes so you don’t have to. Expect professional drivers who handle navigation, parking and logistics — everything from school runs to corporate shuttles is managed with care.

That local knowledge extends to nearby settlements such as Medlar with Wesham, Preesall, Longridge, Wesham and Kirkham — which means smoother pick-ups, quicker journeys and better value for organisers.

Choosing the right coach

Not sure which vehicle fits your day? Start with passenger numbers and luggage volume.

In short: match capacity to comfort and itinerary, and we’ll handle the rest.

Frequently asked questions

A short story from the road

A few months ago we helped a wedding party travel from a church in Garstang to a reception near Longridge. The bride’s father had worried about getting elderly relatives there on time. The mid-size coach arrived early, the driver greeted everyone with a calm smile, and the group enjoyed a quiet, comfortable ride together. At the reception people kept mentioning how much easier it was to travel as one party — no missed trains, no stressful parking, just a relaxed start to the celebrations. That’s the small, human difference reliable transport makes.
