Expert insight

Insider tip: if your route includes single-track coastal lanes, request a driver with local experience and a mid-size coach rather than a full-size vehicle — you’ll save time and stress. Also, for long coastal drives, choose a coach with elevated panoramic seats so everyone can enjoy the views from Par Sands to the Looe Bay headlands. This is practical advice born from years of matching routes to vehicle types.
