UK’s first choice for private transport hire
Looking for minibus hire in Leicester? We provide safe and dependable minibuses for groups of all sizes, including 8 to 24 seaters.
Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
Fancy getting a group together without the fuss of juggling cars, parking or multiple taxis? At Private Coach Hire we make Minibus hire in Leicester feel as easy as meeting for a cuppa. Whether you’re planning an airport run, a wedding transfer or a day trip to Bradgate Park, we connect you with trusted operators who supply professional vehicles and drivers across the city and wider Leicestershire.
Want the convenience of door-to-door travel and someone else to worry about the route? Our Chauffeur-driven minibuses range from compact 8–12 seaters through to 15–16 seat executive models, perfect for both short hops and longer journeys across the UK. Drivers are courteous, experienced and focused on giving you a relaxed journey — no rushing, no designated driver stress.
Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, USB charging ports and tinted windows on many vehicles. Some models include onboard entertainment for longer trips — a great way to keep children content on school excursions or to set the tone for a party transfer.
We match vehicle size to your luggage needs: smaller minibuses suit day trips with minimal bags, while executive 16-seaters offer generous storage for airport minibus transfers. Accessible options are also available for passengers with reduced mobility.
| Vehicle type | Seats | Typical uses |
|---|---|---|
| Compact minibus | 8–12 | Short trips, school runs, small corporate shuttles |
| Executive minibus | 15–16 | Airport transfers, weddings, larger group events |
| Accessible minibus | Varies | Community transport, care visits, specialist trips |
Need a quick quote or booking late in the day? We work with a nationwide network that can often accommodate 24/7 requests and last-minute bookings. Before you book, think about the luggage each passenger will bring, whether you need child seats, and whether your itinerary requires multiple vehicles. These small details help us match you to the right operator and keep your costs down.
Choosing the right size matters. For a stag or hen group with luggage, an executive 16 seater might be worth the extra comfort. For a school outing around Leicester, an 8–12 seater often fits the bill. If you’re unsure, tell us how many people, the amount of luggage, and the pickup points — we’ll recommend the best fit.
Travelling with a large party? We can arrange multiple vehicles and coordinate timings so everyone arrives together. It’s the simple stuff — synchronised pick-ups, clear driver instructions and a single point of contact — that makes group travel feel effortless.
Safety is non-negotiable. All drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and professionally licensed. Every operator in our network is vetted for vehicle maintenance and compliance, meaning you can relax knowing the journey is in safe hands.
Our drivers are experienced in group transport and understand the local roads around Leicester — from city centre one-way systems to the best routes out to the M1. They’re trained in passenger care, punctuality and keeping a calm, friendly atmosphere on board.
All hires include appropriate insurance cover and operators provide clear terms on cancellations and changes. Need a transfer at short notice from East Midlands Airport or Leicester station? Tell us and we’ll find a suitable driver and vehicle.
How does a minibus with driver compare to cars or a self-drive van? For groups, chauffeur-driven minibuses remove the stress of parking, route planning and designated drivers. Compared with full-size coaches, minibuses often save money and give greater flexibility for city pickups. For convenience and safety — especially on evening returns from events — minibus hire with a driver is hard to beat.
We understand Leicester and the wider county — the routes into and out of the city, the quirks of local venues, and the seamless transfers you expect. We regularly serve areas including Braunstone Town, Oadby, Wigston Magna, Syston and Earl Shilton. Need an airport minibus transfer to East Midlands Airport or a shuttle between hotels and the King Power Stadium? We’ve done those runs hundreds of times and can help plan the smoothest route.
Minibus hire is ideal for a huge range of events: airport transfers, weddings, sports fixtures, school trips, corporate travel, day tours, festivals, family outings and group holidays. Want to take a small group to a music festival or get the entire bridal party to a country house for the ceremony? We tailor the vehicle and service to the occasion.
We’re not just a booking platform — we’re a team who care about making group travel simple and safe. With years of industry experience, a nationwide network of vetted operators and a focus on value for money, Private Coach Hire helps you compare quotes and book the vehicle and driver that suit your needs. We blend local knowledge with national reach, so whether you need a short hop around town or a longer journey across the UK, we’ve got you covered.
Growing up here, we know Leicester has a heartbeat all of its own — the busy markets, the match-day buzz and the quieter lanes out towards Earl Shilton. That familiarity shapes how we plan journeys: realistic pickup windows, sensible routes and operators who know the area. It’s the little things — a friendly driver who knows the back roads — that make the difference between a good trip and a brilliant one.
Ready to get a quote? Tell us where you’re starting from, how many people are travelling, and whether you’re carrying luggage.
