Imagine the calm when everyone piles aboard, luggage stowed, devices charging, and the driver already knows the best route past the granite streets.

Why choose Private Coach Hire

Why choose Private Coach Hire? Because we treat group travel like the important, human thing it is. Our drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced with private, corporate and school transport. We offer 24/7 availability and the flexibility to handle last-minute bookings across Aberdeen City and beyond. That reliability matters — especially when travel plans change or when you’re coordinating multiple pick-ups.

Safety and professionalism

Every journey is planned with safety in mind: routine vehicle checks, secure storage for luggage, clear communication and drivers trained in passenger care. You should feel reassured that your coach or minibus comes with a qualified, licensed driver who prioritises punctuality and a smooth ride.

Our fleet ranges from compact 8–12 seat minibuses to executive 15–16 seat models. Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, generous luggage space, USB charging ports and optional onboard entertainment for longer trips to Inverness or Edinburgh.

Need an airport minibus transfer to Aberdeen International Airport at Dyce for an early flight? No problem. Heading to a football match in Perth or a festival in St Andrews? We’ll get your group there together and back again.

• Airport transfers and meet-and-greet services
• Weddings and celebrations
• School and university trips
• Corporate shuttles and business events
• Sporting events and supporter travel
• Day tours to nearby attractions in Dundee, St Andrews and Inverness

Booking and planning advice

Booking well in advance is wise for busy weekends, but we also handle short-notice requests. Think about passenger numbers, luggage volume, and whether you need return times fixed or flexible. If you’re organising travel for a wedding party or a school trip, consider coordinating one vehicle per household group or assigning a luggage van when equipment is bulky.

1. Select the right minibus size for headcount and luggage.
2. Confirm pick-up/drop-off points: hotels, train stations like Aberdeen Station or event venues such as P&J Live or the AECC.
3. Discuss special requirements — child seats, wheelchair access, or additional stops.
4. Receive a clear quote that lists driver hours, waiting time, and any tolls or parking costs.

A short story from the road

Once, during a blustery November, I organised a minibus for my sister’s small wedding at a registry office near the beach. The minibus arrived early, heater on, and the driver had already checked the best route around a closed road near the harbour. Seeing everyone laughing in the warm cabin while the rain lashed Aberdeen’s granite streets — that peace of mind is what we aim to give every customer. That moment made me realise how much the right transport can lift the whole day.

Where we operate

We’re based in Aberdeen City but cover wider journeys across Scotland — including Dundee, St Andrews, Perth, Inverness and Edinburgh. Regular routes include transfers to Aberdeen International Airport (Dyce), city-centre hotels, university campuses and coastal day-trip itineraries. Local knowledge means we avoid roadworks, plan around event traffic and choose the most efficient routes for your schedule.

Compare transport options

Why pick a chauffeur-driven minibus over cars or self-drive vans? With a minibus you get convenience — one vehicle for the whole group, no parking stress, no designated driver, and professional route planning. Compared to a full-size coach, minibuses are more flexible for narrow streets and smaller groups; compared to multiple cars they’re more sociable and cost-effective for groups of eight or more.

Minibus vs other options

• Cars: good for small parties, but multiple cars mean coordination headaches and parking fees.
• Self-drive vans: useful for bulky kit but require a competent driver and fall short on passenger comfort.
• Full-size coaches: excellent for large groups but less maneuverable and costlier for shorter journeys.
• Chauffeur-driven minibuses: the balanced choice for convenience, safety and cost-efficiency.

Features and amenities

From reclining seats to tinted windows and climate control, our minibuses are fitted for comfort. USB ports for charging phones, generous luggage bays and optional onboard entertainment make both short and long trips more pleasant. For executive travel we can provide extra touches like bottled water and discrete, professional drivers.
