Our Fleet

Choose from a variety of chauffeur-driven minibuses, from compact 8–12 seaters to roomy 15–16 seater executive models. Each vehicle comes equipped for comfort and practicality.

• 8–12 seaters

  Perfect for family days out, airport minibus transfers or small corporate groups. Typical features: reclining seats, air conditioning, luggage space and USB charging points.

• 15–16 seaters

  Executive minibus rental for larger teams or wedding parties—more legroom, tinted windows and greater luggage capacity for longer journeys.

• Accessible vehicles

  We can arrange tail-lift or ramp-equipped minibuses on request to support passengers with reduced mobility.

Booking & Planning Advice

Not sure what size to book? Think about passenger numbers and luggage, the nature of your journey and how long you’ll be travelling. Here are some practical pointers to make bookings painless.

1. Choose the right size

   Count passengers, add luggage allowances and consider comfort for longer trips—an 8 seater can feel cramped on a four-hour coach trip; a 16 seater may be more comfortable.

2. Plan for luggage

   If you’re travelling with sports kit or camping gear, allocate space or arrange an additional luggage vehicle.

3. Coordinate multiple vehicles

   For large groups, we’ll synchronise departure times and provide radio or phone communication so all vehicles arrive together.

4. Book early—or last minute

   Weekends and school holidays fill quickly; however, our network supports dependable last-minute bookings when plans change.

Expert Insight

Insider tip: when planning an airport transfer for flights leaving before 07:00, factor in earlier pick-up times for traffic and allow extra time for airport drop-off lanes. Also, for festival runs, request a vehicle with additional luggage space—folding kit and cool boxes take up more room than you expect.

A client once booked a 12-seater for a stag weekend and underestimated the kit: two sets of camping gear plus guitars. We swapped to a 16-seater with extra luggage capacity and saved the weekend. That’s the kind of practical help our team offers—you won’t be waved away with a price alone.
