Experience comfortable, reliable, and affordable travel with our coach and minibus hire services. We offer modern vehicles, professional drivers, and flexible packages for group trips, events, airport transfers, and long-distance travel.
Why choose us
If you’re asking Why choose us, I’ll be straight with you: we’re a local Newry team who care about getting your group there safely, on time and with as little fuss as possible. We’re fully licensed, insured and our drivers are DBS-checked and experienced — the sort of people you’d trust to ferry your school group, wedding party or colleagues across town or up into County Armagh.
Safety and drivers
Our drivers don’t just drive. They handle navigation, parking and logistics so you don’t have to. All vehicles are maintained to strict standards, and operators are available for both pre-planned journeys and last-minute trips — whether it’s a morning airport transfer or a same-day change of plan for a sports team.
Nationwide bookings and support
Although we’re based in Newry, we operate across the UK and into Europe for group holidays and tours. Our customer service team coordinates complex itineraries, multiple pickups and large-scale event transport, and they’ll work with you to map the smoothest route and timetable for your group.
Our fleet
When people ask about Our fleet, I like to give them the quick tour: from 24–33 seat mid-size coaches to 49–70 seat full-size executive and luxury coaches, all chauffeur-driven. Choose the right size and you save money, stand a better chance of finding parking, and everyone travels comfortably.
Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats)
Our Mid-size coaches (24–33 seats) are ideal for school trips, smaller wedding parties or corporate shuttles. They’re easier to manoeuvre in tighter town centres like Newry’s, still offer generous luggage space and a quiet, comfortable ride.
Full-size coaches (49–70 seats)
The Full-size coaches (49–70 seats) are built for large groups, tour operators and major event transfers. Expect air conditioning, reclining seats, onboard Wi‑Fi, power sockets and, on many models, onboard restrooms — perfect for longer journeys to airports, race days or cross-border tours.
Key features
We fit coaches with the essentials: air conditioning to keep everyone refreshed, tinted windows for privacy, generous luggage bays and optional extras like Wi‑Fi and power points so devices stay charged. Those little comforts make longer trips — to Belfast, Dublin or further afield — feel effortless.
Choosing the right coach
If you’re wondering Choosing the right coach for your group, think about party size, luggage and how far you’re travelling. Smaller groups may prefer a mid-size coach for easier parking and lower costs; large parties or tour groups benefit from full-size executive or luxury coaches that come with extra amenities and storage.
Quick advice
Ask yourself: how many seats do we need, how much luggage, and do we want onboard toilets or Wi‑Fi? Tell us that, and we’ll recommend the vehicle that suits your journey — from local sports fixtures to airport transfers.
Where we travel
We cover Newry and surrounding towns — naturally Warrenpoint and Rostrevor, as well as Markethill, Banbridge and Armagh — and we regularly run transfers to nearby airports and ports. If you need a coach to Belfast City, Belfast International or Dublin Airport, we’ll get you there with time to spare. We also handle cruise transfers to Belfast Port and Dublin Port.
Compare options
When weighing up travel modes, think about convenience and cost. A private coach means your whole group travels together on your schedule, with privacy and onboard facilities. That often beats coordinating multiple cars, hiring minibuses and scrambling for train connections when you have luggage or small children.
Pricing at a glance
I’ll be honest — prices vary with distance, vehicle and season. Here’s a simple table to help you compare at a glance.
| Vehicle | Seating | Best for | Typical features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minibus (12–16) | 12–16 | Small groups, short hops | Compact, easy parking |
| Mid-size coach | 24–33 | School trips, medium groups | AC, comfy seats, luggage bays |
| Full-size coach | 49–70 | Large events, tours | WC, Wi‑Fi, power sockets |
Where a coach makes sense
Private coach hire works brilliantly for airport transfers, school trips, sports events, weddings, corporate outings, sightseeing tours, concerts, race days, cruise transfers and UK or European group holidays. Want to take supporters to a match at a nearby stadium or ferry wedding guests between hotels in Newry and Rostrevor? That’s exactly the sort of trip we love to sort out.
Coach hire vs other options
Compared with minibuses, self-drive vans and trains, private coach hire gives you convenience, privacy and often a better cost-per-head. You get one driver who knows the route, one vehicle to manage, and the freedom to leave when you choose — no timetables to chase.
Frequently asked questions
How much does coach hire cost?
Costs depend on distance, vehicle size and extras. Short local hires around Newry will be less than long-distance airport runs. Tell us your details and we’ll give a clear, no-surprises quote that factors driver time, mileage and any parking or tolls.
Do you do airport and cruise transfers?
Yes — we run regular transfers to Belfast City, Belfast International, Dublin Airport and both Belfast Port and Dublin Port for cruise passengers. We time pickups to flights and sailings so you arrive relaxed and ready to go.
Can you handle school trips and DBS checks?
Absolutely. All our drivers are DBS-checked and experienced with pupil supervision during boarding and disembarkation. We work alongside school staff to plan safe journeys and sensible pickup points.
What about last-minute bookings?
We try to help whenever we can. Operators are available for both pre-planned and same-day bookings, though availability depends on vessel and driver schedules. Call us and we’ll do our best to find a solution.
Getting started
If you’re ready, tell us the date, passenger numbers, luggage and pickup points. Whether it’s a short hop to Warrenpoint or a multi-day tour through County Armagh, we’ll recommend the right vehicle and provide a clear quote. Want a comfy executive coach for a corporate day out or a practical mid-size coach for a school trip? Say the word and we’ll sort it.
A final note from a neighbour
I grew up around here and I understand the little things that matter — timely arrivals for a match at the local ground, space for suitcases after a cruise, or a quiet, comfortable ride for grandparents heading to a family wedding. That’s the kind of attention we bring to every hire. If you want a friendly, local team to plan your next group journey, get in touch and let’s chat through the details.
