Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
Looking for reliable, chauffeur-driven Minibus Hire in Haddington? You’re in the right place. At Private Coach Hire we make group travel feel effortless — whether it’s a quick airport run to Edinburgh Airport or a family trip to the coast at North Berwick. You’ll get a friendly driver, comfortable seats and a vehicle sized for your group so everyone travels together, stays on time and arrives relaxed.
Why choose a minibus? Because it removes the hassle. No multiple cars, no juggling luggage, and no designated driver. A minibus with driver turns coordination into a single phone call: we plan the route, handle parking and make sure the whole party travels safely. For weddings, school trips, corporate days out or match days in Lothian, it’s convenience plus peace of mind.
When you browse Our fleet, you’ll see options from compact 8–12 seat minibuses to larger 15–16 seater executive models. All vehicles are modern, well-maintained and equipped for comfortable journeys across East Lothian and beyond.
Choose a minibus size that matches your group: small crews, school parties or corporate teams. Our 16 seater minibus hire option is perfect when everyone needs to travel together without splitting into cars.
Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, generous luggage storage, USB charging ports and optional onboard entertainment. These extras make airport minibus transfers and longer journeys to Glasgow or Edinburgh more comfortable.
Safety is non-negotiable. All drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in group transport. We operate with rigorous maintenance schedules and the highest safety standards so your journey is smooth and secure.
Need a few planning tips? Book early for busy weekends and festival dates, especially around North Berwick’s summer events. Allow space for luggage and equipment when choosing a vehicle, and consider coordinating multiple vehicles when groups grow large. Remember: last-minute bookings are often possible — we run a wide UK network and can usually mobilise chauffeurs at short notice.
We know Haddington. From Market Street to the Corn Exchange, and out towards Tranent, Cockenzie and Port Seton, we provide tailored group transport. Travelling to local attractions such as Lennoxlove House, Haddington Golf Club or the beaches at North Berwick? Our drivers often ferry guests between hotels, event venues and nearby train stations — handy when public transport doesn’t match your schedule.
How does a minibus stack up against other choices? Compared with multiple cars, a chauffeur-driven minibus reduces parking stress and keeps the group together. Compared with full-size coaches, minibuses are more manoeuvrable on narrow country lanes and often more economical for medium-sized groups. Compared with self-drive vans, you get a licensed driver who knows local routes — no route planning or designated driver needed.
We offer competitive rates and transparent pricing. Whether you need a short airport transfer or a full-day hire for a wedding, we’ll provide a clear quote with no hidden fees. Peak dates and festival weekends can fill fast, so early booking is wise, but our network also supports last-minute requests when plans change.
Choose by passenger count and luggage. For 10–12 people with suitcases, a 15–16 seater or a 12 seater with extra luggage space might be best. If you’re unsure, call us — we’ll recommend the ideal minibus with driver for your trip.
Yes. All our drivers are DBS-checked, fully licensed and insured for passenger transport. Safety and professionalism are central to our service.
Absolutely. We commonly run airport minibus transfers to Edinburgh Airport and can coordinate arrivals and departures to match flight times and baggage needs.
Minibus hire fits a huge variety of events: weddings, school outings, corporate days, sports matches, festival runs, airport shuttles and family celebrations. If you’re organising a group trip across Lothian or to destinations beyond, a chauffeur-driven minibus keeps everyone together and relaxed.
Last summer a local rugby club called on a busy Saturday. Their original plan split parents across cars, but we turned up with a 16-seater and an experienced driver who knew every back road between Haddington and North Berwick. The team arrived on time, no lost kit, and the coach trip home became a highlight — stories, singing and all. That kind of smooth day is exactly what we aim for.
