People often weigh up minibuses against full-size coaches, cars or self-drive vans. Below is a clear side-by-side look so you can see practical differences at a glance.
| Feature | Chauffeur-driven minibus | Full-size coach | Car / Self-drive van |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group size | 8–16 seats (ideal for mid-sized groups) | Large groups (40+) | Small groups (up to 5–7) or bulky loads in vans |
| Convenience | High — driver handles route, parking and timing | High for big groups but needs suitable stops | Low — driver responsibilities fall on you |
| Cost per person | Often best value for mid groups | Competitive for very large parties | Can be expensive once fuel, tolls and parking are counted |
| Flexibility | Very flexible — easy to manoeuvre around North London streets | Less flexible in narrow streets or residential areas | Flexible but needs separate drivers for larger groups |
| Best for | Airport minibus transfers, school trips, weddings, corporate runs | Large conference transfers, festival shuttles | Small groups or cargo moves where passenger comfort isn’t primary |
