Our Fleet

You’ll find the right vehicle whether you need a compact runabout for a local pick-up or an executive minibus for a long-distance journey. Our Fleet includes modern, licensed minibuses maintained to high safety standards and equipped for comfort on short and long runs.

Sizes: 8–12 and 15–16 seaters

Booking & Planning Advice

Getting the right vehicle is about more than seats. Use this pragmatic checklist from Booking & Planning Advice to plan like a pro.

Selecting the right size

Count passengers and luggage. For airport transfers, allow additional space per person for suitcases and hand baggage. If you’re unsure, talk to our advisors — they’ll recommend whether an 8–12 seater or a 15–16 seater executive model best fits your needs.

Timing and coordination

Book early for busy weekends, university open days or festival weekends. We offer 24/7 availability and can often accommodate last-minute bookings with our wide UK network of operators.

Coordinating multiple vehicles

For large groups split across vehicles, plan meeting points and staggered departures. Our drivers can radio ahead and coordinate drop-offs for seamless group movement.

Expert Insight & Insider Tips

Here’s what years on the road teach you: plan your airport pickup time around flight arrival plus 30–45 minutes for baggage queues; pick a single rendezvous point for weddings or festivals; and always allow a cushion for local traffic like river-boat events or school runs.

Insider tip: station pick-ups

When collecting from Didcot Parkway, ask for Platform 1 meeting point or the front forecourt — it saves ten minutes and avoids platform changes. For Cholsey collections, allow a short walk time; our drivers factor this into pick-up times.

Insider tip: luggage planning

For multi-day trips, specify suitcase sizes and count to ensure correct luggage space. If you’re transporting sporting kit or instruments, let us know — we’ll allocate a vehicle with extra storage.
