Choose our mini bus hire in Lee for smooth group travel, complete with professional drivers and well-maintained vehicles.
Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
Welcome — if you live in Lee and are thinking about group travel, Minibus Hire in Lee from Private Coach Hire is designed to feel local, reliable and easy to book. We connect you with vetted drivers and vehicles across SE12 and neighbouring areas so a school outing, airport run or a wedding shuttle becomes one less thing to worry about.
Choosing a chauffeur-driven option removes the usual stresses of group travel: no puzzling over parking, route planning, designated drivers or multiple drop-offs. With Why choose chauffeur-driven minibuses you get convenience, safety and a stress-free journey whether you're heading across London or beyond.
When you compare cars, self-drive vans, full-size coaches and chauffeur-driven minibuses, the practical differences stand out. Cars are fine for solo trips but fall short for groups; self-drive vans put the onus on the organiser; full-size coaches are great for very large groups but can be harder to manoeuvre in tight London streets. Our Compare transport options show why a minibus with driver often hits the sweet spot for groups of 8–16 people.
We offer a local fleet matched to different group sizes and trip types. Read the Fleet and features to find the balance between comfort and capacity.
From compact 8–12 seaters perfect for family days out to larger 15–16 seater executive models for corporate travel, our local network supplies a range of minibus options. Keywords you might search for include 16 seater minibus hire and executive minibus rental — they reflect exactly what’s available in Lee.
Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, luggage storage, tinted windows, USB charging ports and optional entertainment systems on many vehicles. These small touches keep journeys smooth and comfortable whether it’s a short school run or a longer airport minibus transfer.
| Vehicle type | Typical seats | Key features | Best for |

A little planning makes everything smoother. Follow these practical tips when you use our Booking and planning advice:

Safety is non-negotiable. Every driver in our network is DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in group travel. We work with operators who prioritise vehicle maintenance and passenger wellbeing. That’s why mentions of Safety and professionalism are more than words — they’re part of how Private Coach Hire vets partners and supports you before, during and after your trip.
We’re rooted in London travel needs and cover Lee and nearby neighbourhoods — Lewisham, Ladywell, Catford, Blackheath and Brockley — providing flexible group transport across SE12 and beyond. Whether you’re meeting at Lee station, heading to a function near Blackheath Common, or catching a flight via London City Airport, our local drivers know the streets and shortcuts that keep you punctual.
Use this quick checklist before you confirm a booking: confirm passenger numbers and luggage, note pick-up points and any accessibility needs, decide whether you want return waits or multiple stops, and check the meet-and-greet details for airport transfers.
We provide clear, competitive quotes so you can compare options without hidden fees — see the Pricing snapshot for what influences cost: vehicle size, distance, wait times and any extra services like meet-and-greet at an airport.
Count people and luggage first. If anyone needs mobility aids, allow extra space. For day trips a compact 8–12 seat minibus often works; for corporate groups or wedding parties consider 15–16 seat executive minibuses.
Yes. We arrange airport minibus transfers to London City Airport and other major airports. Drivers will follow flight updates and can provide meet-and-greet services on request.
All drivers in our network are professionally vetted, DBS-checked where appropriate, and fully insured for passenger carriage. Safety checks are part of our operator vetting process.
We often support last-minute bookings through our nationwide operator network. Tell us your pick-up location in SE12, passenger numbers and destination, and we’ll search for nearby availability.
