UK’s first choice for private transport hire
Planning group travel? Our minibus hire in Ashington offers reliable vehicles with drivers for hassle-free transport.
Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
If you’re wondering Why choose us, think of us as that neighbour who knows every short cut out of town and will turn up on time with the kettle on. We’re a local, friendly team from Ashington offering minibus hire UK customers trust for private coach hire: comfortable, chauffeur-driven minibuses that remove the hassle of parking, route planning and finding a designated driver. Our drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in group travel — we take safety and reliability personally.
Take a look at Our fleet and you’ll find everything from compact 8–12 seaters for tight-town runs to 15–16 seat executive minibus hire models for longer journeys. Every vehicle comes with features people actually use: reclining seats, air conditioning, luggage storage, USB charging ports and optional onboard entertainment for longer trips.
Choosing the right minibus sizes makes a difference. Smaller 8–12 seat minibuses are brilliant for family days out or school-run transfers; our 15–16 seater minibuses are better for wedding parties, corporate outings or airport minibus transfers where luggage space matters.
If comfort and presentation matter — say, corporate travel or VIP airport transfers — our executive minibus rental options offer leather or better-upholstered seats, extra legroom and a smoother ride. It’s the sort of finish clients notice without you having to tell them.
When you weigh up Compare transport options, minibuses sit in a sweet spot between cars and full-size coaches: more space and luggage capacity than several cars, more manoeuvrable and economical than a full coach for shorter trips, and far less hassle than hiring a self-drive van when you need a driver. Hiring a minibus with driver means stress-free travel — no parking worries, no sober driver, and a professional taking care of the route.
Because we’re from Ashington, our local sense of place matters. We know the quickest routes to Newcastle International Airport, the best approach to Morpeth and Newcastle stations, and how to navigate busy weekends around Woodhorn Museum, Druridge Bay and Blyth Harbour. We regularly run transfers to hotels and business parks across Northumberland, and we’re used to school runs for Ashington Academy and trips to local event venues — so we can advise the best vehicle for tight streets or coastal pull-ins.
We’re proud to cover a wide range of journeys. From airport minibus transfers to wedding groups, sports teams, school trips, corporate travel, day tours, festivals and family outings — if you need minibus hire for events or group holidays across Northumberland or the wider UK, we’ll plan it with you.
Booking with us is straightforward. If you want advice about which size to pick, just tell us the number of passengers, how much luggage you’ll carry and where you’re going. We recommend booking early for busy weekends, but we also handle last-minute bookings — our 24/7 availability and wide UK network of operators mean we can often help when plans change.
A few practical tips: allow extra space if you have large suitcases or equipment, consider coordinating multiple vehicles for very large groups, and confirm pick-up times that allow for traffic to avoid tight connections. Remember, every vehicle comes with a professional, fully licensed driver.
We price fairly and transparently for minibus hire UK-wide. Costs depend on vehicle size, journey distance and time of day — evenings and bank holidays can be busier and slightly pricier. Get a quick quote and we’ll explain whether a 16 seater minibus hire or a smaller 12 seater is the economical choice for your trip.
| Vehicle | Typical capacity | Luggage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8–12 seater minibus | 8–12 passengers | Small-medium luggage | Family days out, small corporate trips, school groups |
| 15–16 seater executive minibus | 15–16 passengers | Generous luggage space | Airport minibus transfers, weddings, larger corporate groups |
| Full-size coach | 30–70+ passengers | Large luggage compartments | Large events, long-distance tours |
| Cars / taxis | 1–4 passengers | Limited | Short solo trips or small groups without much luggage |
If you’re torn between options, the practical differences matter: a minibus with driver gives you flexible door-to-door service and a calm, social cabin; an executive minibus rental adds presentation and extra comfort; a self-drive van saves on driver cost but shifts responsibility for routes and fatigue onto your group.
Our minibuses range from 8–12 seaters up to 15–16 seaters. Pick based on passenger count plus luggage — if everyone has a large suitcase, choose the larger end of the range or book an extra vehicle.
Yes — all our drivers are DBS-checked, fully licensed and insured. We prioritise safety and comfort on every trip.
Absolutely. We frequently run airport minibus transfers to Newcastle International Airport and meet groups at Morpeth and Newcastle stations. We’ll plan meet-and-greet logistics so you don’t have to worry about delays or baggage handling.
Minibus hire for events offers flexibility, easier access to town centres and lower costs for medium-sized groups. Coaches become more economical for very large parties or long-distance transfers when the group size justifies the bigger vehicle.
We’re right here in Ashington — familiar with Newbiggin by the Sea, Bedlington, West Bedlington, Morpeth and Blyth — and we care about making travel smooth, punctual and pleasantly ordinary in the best way. If you want a quote, a quick chat about which vehicle suits your plans, or help coordinating multiple pickups, give us a shout. We’ll talk through dates, luggage, and what makes your group comfortable — and then we’ll take care of the driving.
