Group Minibus Hire in Lerwick

Minibus Hire in Lerwick

If a neighbour popped round with a tin of shortbread and asked where to go for the weekend, I’d tell them straight: Minibus Hire in Lerwick makes that sort of plan simple. Whether you’re ferrying the school choir to a rehearsal, loading up for a family ceilidh, or taking friends over to Bressay for the day, we’re the locals you can rely on.

Our Fleet and What Fits Your Day

We keep things practical. You won’t find fanciful extras that get in the way — just well-maintained minibuses and coaches that turn up on time, stick to the routes you know, and treat your group like neighbours. If you want to see the vehicles first, there’s more on our fleet page.

8–16 Seater Minibuses

The 8–16 seater options are a favourite for school runs, island trips and small wedding parties. Comfortable seats, space for jackets and wellies, and a driver who knows the quicker lanes round the harbour.

Coach Options for Larger Groups

For bigger family gatherings or corporate days out — perhaps a team heading to Kirkwall or a group catching the ferry to Stornoway — we offer coaches that keep everyone together and conversations flowing on the way.

Accessibility and Luggage

We fit extra space where it’s needed: room for mobility aids, skis, surfboards and the inevitable peat burner. Tell us what you’re bringing and we’ll suggest the right vehicle.

Local Knowledge and Routes

We live here, so we know the short cuts and the scenic pulls. If you’re planning a loop to Scalloway, a morning at Sullom Voe, or a longer trip over to Mallaig or Ullapool, our drivers will time the journey to suit tide times and ferry schedules, and they’ll keep you comfortable along the way.

Short Runs Around Lerwick

For trips that only take an hour or two — the football team to training, grandparents to a medical appointment, or a quick run to the ferry — we offer flexible pick-ups and prompt drop-offs without the fuss.

Island Hopping and Longer Days

Thinking of a day that stretches a bit further? We regularly help folk plan island-hopping days that include the highlights of Shetland and beyond, and we’re comfortable arranging trips to Portree and Kirkwall when customers want to explore further afield.

Pricing and Booking

We keep our pricing plain and predictable. No hidden extras — just a clear quote that covers driver time, fuel, and any tolls or ferry costs. If you’d like a bespoke estimate, head over to our contact page or give us a call and we’ll talk it through.

Transparent Quotes

Quotes show what you’re paying for: vehicle type, driver hours, mileage and any extra services you might need. We’ll also advise whether an 8–16 seater or a coach makes more sense for your group, based on luggage, age mix and comfort needs.

How to Book

Booking is easy — reserve by phone, email or via our online form. Once booked, we send a confirmation and a friendly reminder closer to the day so you don’t have to worry about the details.

Practical Comparisons

Here’s a simple table to help you decide quickly which vehicle suits your plans. Think of it as a neighbour pointing out the best kettle for your needs: straightforward and useful.
