Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
If you’re looking for Minibus Hire in Berkshire, Private Coach Hire offers chauffeur-driven minibuses across the county and neighbouring counties including Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and West Sussex. Our local knowledge covers Heathrow Airport transfers, Reading and Windsor rail connections, business parks such as Green Park and Thames Valley Park, venues like Ascot Racecourse and the Select Car Leasing Stadium, and schools including Eton College and Wellington College.
Choosing Why choose chauffeur-driven minibuses matters when groups want a stress-free journey: no parking headaches, no route planning, and no designated driver. Our drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in group transport service, available for last-minute bookings and long-distance trips across England.
All vehicles come with professionally licensed drivers who undergo regular checks, defensive driving training and detailed route briefings. We prioritise punctual service, comfortable journeys and full compliance with UK safety standards.
Compared to multiple cars or self-drive vans, a chauffeur-driven minibus reduces coordination time and parking costs. Versus full-size coaches, minibuses are ideal for narrower roads, smaller party sizes and venues with limited access — while still offering the convenience of a driver.
Minibus hire is perfect for airport minibus transfers, weddings, school trips, corporate travel, sports fixtures, festivals, family outings and day tours. Whether a short run to Windsor Castle or a nationwide group holiday, we tailor vehicles and itineraries to the occasion.
Our fleet ranges from compact eight-seat minibuses to executive 15–16 seater options, suitable for short commutes around Bracknell and long-distance transfers to Gatwick or Manchester. Each vehicle includes luggage storage, air conditioning, reclining seats, USB charging ports and optional onboard entertainment for longer journeys.
The 8–12 seater minibuses are perfect for airport transfers from Heathrow, small wedding parties and corporate shuttles between Reading station and Green Park Business Park.
Our 15–16 seater executive minibuses suit larger groups for sports events at Newbury Racecourse, university trips to the University of Reading or comfortable executive travel for business conferences in Windsor.
Expect tinted windows for privacy, climate control, generous luggage bays and optional Wi‑Fi — making longer runs to Oxford or London comfortable and productive.
Follow simple planning steps to get the most from your hire: choose the right size, allow luggage space, book early for busy weekends and coordinate multiple vehicles for complex itineraries. Every booking includes a professional driver and clear pickup/drop-off plans.
Match passenger numbers to seating plus luggage: an 8–12 seater for small parties, 15–16 seater for larger groups. For airport minibus transfers, allow additional capacity for hold luggage and sports equipment.
Tell us about suitcases, golf bags or musical instruments up front. For multi-stop itineraries (for example Reading → Windsor → Ascot) we schedule timing buffers to avoid rush-hour delays and ensure timely arrivals.
We operate a wide UK network of operators with 24/7 availability for urgent requests — handy for evening events, festival runs or changes to flight times at Heathrow.
Private Coach Hire covers Berkshire towns including Reading, Slough, Maidenhead, Bracknell, Wokingham and Newbury. We regularly handle transfers to and from Heathrow and Gatwick airports, rail stations such as Reading and Windsor & Eton, hotels across the county, and attractions like Windsor Castle and LEGOLAND Windsor Resort.

Last summer we organised a wedding shuttle from a hotel in Maidenhead to Windsor — the bride’s family appreciated a smooth airport minibus transfer from Heathrow, the driver’s local knowledge avoided an unexpected road closure, and the party arrived relaxed and on time. That’s the difference a well-planned minibus with driver makes.
