Comfortable Travel for Special Occasions

Mini Bus Hire around Scotland

Minibuses

Looking for reliable Minibuses with a driver in Peeblesshire? Private Coach Hire provides chauffeur-driven minibuses across the Borders and southern Scotland, combining local knowledge with a nationwide operator network to make group journeys safe, punctual and comfortable. Whether you need an Minibuses transfer to Edinburgh Airport or a scenic day tour through Glentress Forest and the Tweed Valley, our service is designed around your itinerary.

Fleet

Our Fleet mixes compact and executive minibuses to suit groups from small party sizes to larger parties needing executive styling. All vehicles are maintained to industry standards and specified for group travel across Scotland, including trunk luggage space for airport runs or multi-day tours.

8–12 seaters

For smaller groups, the 8–12 seaters are agile on narrow country lanes around Peeblesshire and ideal for short transfers — think family outings to Neidpath Castle or shuttle runs between hotels and event venues in Peebles town.

15–16 seaters

When everyone must travel together, our 15–16 seaters offer extra legroom and generous luggage bays for airport minibus transfers or group holidays heading north into the Highlands.

Onboard features

Expect comfortable reclining seats, air conditioning, tinted windows, dedicated luggage storage, USB charging ports and optional onboard entertainment — features that make longer runs to Edinburgh or Glasgow relaxed and sociable.

Booking advice

Good planning makes group travel stress-free. Use this Booking advice when you reserve: choose the right vehicle size, allow space for luggage, book early for bank holiday weekends like the Peebles Arts Festival, and coordinate multiple vehicles for complex itineraries. All hires include professional, fully licensed drivers who will handle route planning, parking and local drop-offs.

Estimate passengers and luggage. If several guests are bringing large suitcases, select a larger minibus or book a second vehicle.
Consider pick-up points near practical landmarks — Tweedbank station (Borders Railway), Peebles Hydro or the car park at Glentress Forest are common meeting spots.
Book early for wedding seasons and public holidays; our 24/7 booking line also handles last-minute requests when plans change.

Compare options

Not sure whether a minibus is right for you? This short comparison clarifies when to choose a chauffeur-driven minibus over other transport modes.

Transport comparison for group travel (typical use cases)
Option	Pros	Cons
Chauffeur-driven minibus	Convenience, no designated driver, space for luggage, local driver knowledge	Higher cost than splitting fares in cars for very small groups
Full-size coach	Best for 40+ people, economies of scale	Less manoeuvrable for country lanes and smaller venues
Cars or self-drive vans	Flexible for small parties, sometimes cheaper	Multiple drivers, parking and safety concerns, no single-group cohesion

If you value convenience, safety and a stress-free travel experience — no parking worries or route planning — a chauffeur-driven Minibuses hire is often the best choice for group trips from Peeblesshire to airports, events and weekend escapes.

Safety & licences

Safety is central. Our drivers are DBS-checked, hold the correct PSV licences, and operate under full commercial insurance. Vehicles undergo routine safety checks before every hire, and we maintain national compliance with regulations for passenger transport.

All drivers DBS-checked and licence-verified.
Regular maintenance and pre-departure inspections.
24/7 support for disruptions and last-minute changes.

Local coverage

We operate throughout Peeblesshire and neighbouring counties including Midlothian, Selkirkshire, Roxburghshire, West Lothian and Lanarkshire. Common routes include transfers to Edinburgh Airport, Tweedbank station (for the Borders Railway), and connections to Galashiels and Selkirk for corporate events or school trips.

Local knowledge matters: drivers understand seasonal road conditions on single-track lanes, can advise on best pick-up points for venues such as Traquair House, and will adapt routes for events like the Peebles Arts & Music gatherings or mountain-biking days at Glentress.

Occasions & events

A minibus hire fits many occasions: airport transfers, weddings, sports fixtures, school trips, corporate travel, day tours, festivals and family getaways. The flexibility of a chauffeur-driven service suits short local hops as well as longer cross-country journeys into the Highlands or down to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
