Leading corporate organisations book their transport with us
Looking for Minibus Hire North Berwick that feels like it was organised by a neighbour rather than a call centre? You’re in the right place. At Private Coach Hire we provide chauffeur-driven minibuses for locals and visitors across East Lothian — from short hops to the station to full-day excursions along the coast. Whether it’s a minibus with driver for a family trip, an executive minibus rental for a corporate visit, or a reliable minibus hire UK option for airport transfers, we pride ourselves on friendly, punctual service that’s tailored to the way people actually travel here.
Our Fleet & Features cover everything from compact 8–12 seaters to larger 15–16 seater executive models. Each vehicle is chosen for comfort and practicality: reclining seats, air conditioning, decent luggage space for weekend breaks, USB charging points, tinted windows for privacy and, where requested, subtle onboard entertainment. We know a trip to the Bass Rock or a school outing to the Scottish Seabird Centre needs room for coats, bags and a picnic — so our minibuses are configured with that in mind.
Perfect for family days out, small wedding parties or sports teams travelling to a match. These compact minibuses are easy to park in town centres and ideal for short hops to the harbour or train station.
When you need extra comfort for longer journeys — think corporate transfers, airport runs or group holidays — our 15–16 seater executive models deliver space, reclining seats and luggage capacity without compromising on a smooth, professional ride.
We operate across North Berwick and neighbouring towns including Haddington and Dunbar, with frequent runs to Edinburgh Airport and easy connections to local stations. Popular pick-up and drop-off points include North Berwick station, the harbour, central hotels and local schools or business parks. If you’re planning transfers to an event venue or coordinating multi-vehicle runs for a festival weekend, our local experience makes logistics feel effortless.
Is a minibus the right move? For most groups it is. Consider hiring for airport transfers, weddings, sports events, school trips, corporate travel, day tours, festivals, family outings or group holidays. Our minibus hire for events offers flexibility for local journeys or nationwide travel — and because we work across East Lothian, last-minute bookings are often easier than you’d expect.
Why pick a chauffeur-driven minibus over driving yourselves or hiring a self-drive van? Think convenience: no designated driver, no parking stress, no route planning — someone else takes care of the road while your group enjoys the journey. Compared with full-size coaches, minibuses are more nimble for town-centre pick-ups. Compared with cars, they keep the whole group together. And compared with self-drive vans, our professional drivers bring local knowledge, safety and a relaxed, stress-free experience.
A few quick tips to get the most from your booking: choose the right minibus size so everyone travels comfortably and luggage fits easily; book early for busy summer weekends and school holidays; factor in time for coach-friendly drop-offs if you’re heading to popular venues; and consider coordinating multiple vehicles for larger groups. Remember: all vehicles come with professional, fully licensed drivers who know the best local routes and parking arrangements.
If you have lots of luggage or equipment (sports kit, musical instruments), opt for a 15–16 seater. For short shuttle runs or small teams, an 8–12 seater keeps costs down and manoeuvrability high.
We offer clear pricing and options to suit private customers and business clients alike. From hourly hires in town to fixed-rate airport minibus transfers, we’ll propose the best value solution that keeps your itinerary on track without hidden extras.

Yes. We frequently run airport minibus transfers to Edinburgh Airport and can arrange timed departures so you arrive with plenty of time for check-in. Drivers will monitor flight times and adjust pickups when flights are delayed.
Absolutely. All drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in both local and long-distance group travel — which means safe, reliable trips whether you’re heading to a wedding on the coast or a corporate event in Edinburgh.
We live and work in East Lothian, so we understand the rhythms of the area — when the harbour is busy, which lanes are best avoided during festivals, and which hotels have the easiest coach access. Mention the Marine Hotel or the Scottish Seabird Centre and we’ll know exactly where to meet you. That local familiarity makes journeys smoother and gives customers confidence that their plan is in safe hands.
