Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
Looking for relaxed, reliable group travel right here in Tyne and Wear? Minibus Hire in Jarrow from Private Coach Hire is all about smooth journeys, punctual service and affordable group travel — whether you’re heading to a wedding, organising a school trip or getting the team to a conference. We know the streets, the gates and the short-cuts; we’re your neighbours who take pride in getting it right.
Explore comfortable, chauffeur-driven minibuses that suit any group size. Our Fleet includes compact 8–12 seaters and larger 15–16 seat executive models, each driven by a fully licensed professional. Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, luggage space, tinted windows, USB charging and options for onboard entertainment — everything to make even a long trip feel effortless.
The 8–12 seaters are perfect for smaller groups and city runs — ideal for family outings, small wedding parties or short airport transfers. They’re nimble around town, easy to park and economical for short hops between Jarrow, Howdon or Willington Quay.
When you need that extra space, the 15–16 seat executive minibuses offer generous legroom, luggage capacity and comfort for longer journeys. These work well for corporate travel, sports teams heading to matches, or groups travelling to venues in Newcastle, South Shields or beyond.
Safety is non-negotiable. All our drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured, and experienced in group travel. We operate with strict maintenance routines and carry comprehensive insurance — so you get professional, dependable service every time. Need a last-minute collection? Our network supports 24/7 availability and operators across the UK ready to handle private, corporate and school transport requests.
Good planning makes travel better. Start by choosing the right size minibus for your party and allowing space for luggage; if you’re unsure, we’ll help you work it out. Book early for busy weekend dates, or call us for last-minute bookings — we can often coordinate multiple vehicles for larger groups or complex itineraries. Every vehicle comes with a professional driver who knows local parking and drop-off points.
We’re rooted in the area — we serve Jarrow and neighbourhoods like Local Connections will mention Willington Quay, Howdon, Wallsend, North Shields and South Shields naturally when planning routes. That means smoother pick-ups, sensible drop-off choices and realistic travel times to nearby stations, hotels and event venues. Whether it’s the Metro to Newcastle, the ferry at North Shields or the coastline at South Shields, we plan journeys that feel familiar and reliable.
Wondering whether a minibus is the right solution? Compare it with other modes and you’ll see why many choose chauffeur-driven minibuses for group travel: they remove the stress of parking and route-planning, keep everyone together and are safer than asking someone to be a designated driver. Compared with full-size coaches, minibuses are more economical for small-to-medium groups and more flexible for narrow streets or multiple stops. Compared with cars or self-drive vans, you get a professional driver, no logistics to manage, and a more sociable journey.
Minibus hire is ideal for a wide range of occasions: airport transfers, weddings, sports events, school trips, corporate travel, day tours, festivals, family outings and group holidays. Whether you’re heading to a local football match, a seaside celebration in South Shields, or coordinating a company awayday across Tyne and Wear, our minibuses adapt to local journeys or nationwide travel with ease.
