Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
Looking for reliable, friendly Minibus Hire in Livingston? You’re in the right place. At Private Coach Hire we know West Lothian — from the town centre bustle at Almondvale to the quieter lanes around East Calder — and we make group journeys feel effortless, whether that’s a quick airport minibus transfer or a full-day private tour.
When you search for minibus hire UK or an executive minibus rental, you want clarity. Our fleet covers compact 8–12 seaters through to larger 15–16 seat executive models, all driven by professional, fully licensed drivers. Each vehicle is equipped for comfort: reclining seats, air conditioning, dedicated luggage space, USB charging and optional onboard entertainment.
Choose a smaller minibus for short local hops around Livingston or a 16 seater minibus hire if you’re moving a big group to a wedding, festival or corporate event. If you need extra comfort for longer trips — think trips to the Highlands or an airport transfer — our executive minibus rental options give more legroom and a smoother ride.
| Vehicle | Seats | Best for | Notable features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Compact minibus | 8–12 | Small groups, school outings | Easy parking, economical |
| Standard minibus | 12–14 | Airport transfers, day tours | Good luggage space, comfy seats |
| Executive minibus | 15–16 | Corporate travel, weddings | Reclining seats, USB, tinted windows |
From wedding parties and school trips to sports fixtures, festivals and corporate away-days, our Occasions we cover are as flexible as your plans. We handle airport minibus transfers to Edinburgh Airport, group transport service for business conferences, and bespoke routes for day tours around Howden Park Centre and Almond Valley.
A little planning saves time and money. When booking, pick the right size — allow space for luggage and musical instruments if needed — and book early for busy weekends. For complex itineraries or large parties, coordinate multiple vehicles. All our minibuses come with a minibus with driver, so there’s no need to worry about designated drivers, parking or route planning.
Compared with cars or self-drive vans, chauffeur-driven minibuses mean no stress over parking, no separate drivers and better safety for groups. Versus full-size coaches, minibuses are more manoeuvrable for town-centre pickups and cheaper for mid-sized groups. If you’re weighing minibus hire for events against taxis or multiple cars, consider the convenience, cost-per-head and lower environmental impact of a single chauffeur-driven vehicle.
We cover Livingston postcodes EH53 and EH54, and nearby areas including East Calder, Broxburn, Blackburn, Ballencrieff and Stoneyburn. Our drivers know local pick-up points — Livingston North and Livingston South stations, Almondvale Shopping Centre, the Designer Outlet, Howden Park Centre and the business areas around the town centre — so journeys are punctual and stress-free.
| Destination | Approx. distance | Typical drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Edinburgh Airport | Approx. 10–15 miles | 25–35 minutes |
| Livingston North station | Within town | 5–10 minutes |
| Glasgow (M8) | Approx. 35–40 miles | 50–70 minutes |
