Want practical tips before you book? Use this short checklist to avoid last-minute stress and to get the best value from Booking and Planning Advice below.
Count heads and luggage. For most groups, an 8–12 seater suits day trips, while 15–16 seaters work best for sports teams or wedding parties. Leave a little space for cases if you’re travelling to airports — a cramped boot quickly becomes an annoyance.
All drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in group travel. They’ll handle route planning, parking and waiting time so you don’t have to. If you need last-minute travel or early-morning pickups, many of our operators offer flexible, 24/7 availability.
For events needing more than one minibus we organise matching arrivals, synchronized timings and the right radio or phone comms so the convoy travels like clockwork. It’s particularly useful for large school trips, multi-venue weddings or corporate away-days.
So why pick Private Coach Hire? Because we make group travel simple. We verify operators, compare quotes across a wide UK network and keep safety and value front and centre. If you’re deciding between driving yourself and hiring a driver, consider the stress you’ll avoid: no designated driver, no parking scrambles, no navigating roadworks on the day.
Longlands sits within easy reach of many London transport hubs. Our drivers know local shortcuts around West Norwood, the best drop-off points near Dulwich and how to reach Tulse Hill without the usual delays. If the group is flying out, we regularly run airport minibus transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick and London City, and can handle arrivals at nearby stations like Sidcup and the stations serving Avery Hill.
Need an early morning airport run? Our airport minibus transfers include help with luggage, meet-and-greet where requested, and timed pickups to match flight schedules. We always suggest allowing extra time for London traffic during peak hours — your driver will advise on departure windows that work best.
How does a chauffeur-driven minibus compare with other options? Compared with hiring multiple cars, a single minibus is greener, easier to coordinate and more sociable. Against self-drive vans: you get a professional driver, insurance and peace of mind. Against full-size coaches: minibuses are more manoeuvrable in town and often more cost-effective for modest groups.
Minibus hire suits almost any group occasion: airport transfers, weddings, school trips, corporate travel, sports fixtures, family outings and festivals. If you’re planning multi-stop itineraries across London or heading out of the city for a weekend, a minibus with driver keeps your group together and on time.

| Executive Minibus | 15–16 | 6–10 large bags | Weddings, corporate trips, airport transfers |

Last spring I helped organise transport for my mate’s wedding near Dulwich. We booked an executive minibus to shuttle guests from a nearby hotel, and I’ll never forget the relief when everyone arrived on time, laughing, and ready to enjoy the day. Little things made the difference: the driver’s local tip about a quieter drop-off, the roomy boot for suits and dresses, and the calm way the journey was handled. That’s the kind of day we want every customer to have.
