Minibus hire in Newtownabbey — Private Coach Hire delivers practical, comfortable and dependable group travel for residents and organisations across County Antrim. Whether you need a minibus with driver for an airport run, a 16 seater minibus hire for a wedding party, or an executive minibus rental for corporate guests, we focus on safety, punctuality and a smooth journey from pick-up to drop-off.
Explore our flexible options — we operate as a local group transport service with nationwide reach. From short local hops to coordinated multi-vehicle transfers across the UK, our offer includes Airport transfers, Weddings & events and Corporate and school travel. We tailor runs for sporting fixtures, festivals, day tours and family outings so every journey feels planned and relaxed.
Airport transfers cover Belfast International and George Best Belfast City airports with door-to-door service, luggage assistance and reliable timings to match flights. For groups travelling together, airport minibus transfers remove the stress of multiple taxis and car parking — one vehicle, one driver, one straightforward arrival or return.
Weddings & events often need discreet, punctual transport between hotels, churches and receptions. Our drivers coordinate closely with wedding planners and venues so your guests arrive on time and in comfort, with options for executive minibuses and tinted windows for added privacy.
Corporate and school travel benefits from our professional approach: DBS-checked drivers, fully insured vehicles and clear arrival windows. From company conferences to school trips to museums and sporting fixtures, we adapt vehicle choice and logistics to suit safeguarding, timetables and group sizes.
Choosing the right vehicle matters. Our fleet ranges from compact 8–12 seaters to larger 15–16 seat executive models, and we commonly handle Minibus sizes and features that include reclining seats, air conditioning, generous luggage space, USB charging ports and onboard entertainment for longer runs.
We prioritise safety and professionalism. All drivers are DBS-checked, fully licensed and experienced in group travel. Vehicles are maintained to national MOT and service schedules, fully insured and fitted with safety equipment. Our approach is transparent and reassuring: punctual service, clear communications and a focus on passenger wellbeing.

Why choose a chauffeur-driven minibus over other options? Consider convenience and safety: compared with several cars, a single minibus means one agreed pick-up time, no designated drivers, no parking hassles and a professional driver who concentrates on the route. Compared with full-size coaches, minibuses are easier to manoeuvre around tight towns like Newtownabbey and can access smaller venues and hotels directly.
We know Newtownabbey and County Antrim intimately. From pickups at Mossley West and Jordanstown stations to transfers for guests staying near Merville Garden Village, Greenisland, Holywood, Carrickfergus and Ballyclare, our drivers navigate local traffic patterns, event timetables and short-cut routes to keep journeys punctual.
Popular trips we frequently manage include runs to Carnfunnock Country Park in Carrickfergus, transfers to Belfast city events and shuttles for university open days at Ulster University Jordanstown. We also serve corporate parks and hotels across the region, aligning arrival times and drop-offs for polished arrivals.
Recent trends show rising interest in private, chauffeur-driven transport as groups prioritise reliability and shared travel experiences. Demand for airport minibus transfers has grown as paired flight schedules and family travel return to pre-pandemic volumes. Operators are also responding with cleaner fleets, enhanced vehicle hygiene protocols and more digital booking tools to streamline group itineraries.
What sets Private Coach Hire apart is our blend of local knowledge and a wide operator network across the UK. We combine the comforts of executive minibuses with the practicalities of affordable group travel. Expect courteous drivers, clear communications and a service that treats every passenger as a priority — whether for a short hop to a local school or an extended group holiday across County Antrim.
