Minibus Hire in Wellingborough

If you're searching for Minibus Hire in Wellingborough, you're in the right place. At Private Coach Hire we specialise in chauffeur-driven minibuses that take the stress out of group travel — whether it's an airport transfer, school trip, wedding or a corporate day out. Fancy a smooth, on-time journey without juggling cars or parking? That’s exactly what we do.

Our fleet

Explore a range of vehicle sizes built for comfort, reliability and flexibility. Every vehicle is maintained to industry standards and operated by a professional, fully licensed driver.

Fleet sizes

We offer compact 8–12 seat minibuses through to larger 15–16 seater executive models. Whether you need an intimate shuttle for a small group or several minibuses coordinated across an event, our fleet scales to match your plans.

Comfort & features

Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, generous luggage storage, tinted windows for privacy, USB charging points and optional onboard entertainment in selected vehicles — all chosen to make short hops and long journeys equally comfortable.

Booking and planning advice

Need a hand planning? A little forward-thinking goes a long way. Here are practical tips we share with customers every day.

Choose the right size: allow seats plus luggage space — oversized cases need extra room.
Book early for busy weekends and school holidays to secure the vehicle type you prefer.
Coordinate multiple vehicles with one point of contact if your group needs splitting across minibuses.
Tell us about pickups, drop-offs and any venue restrictions so we can plan arrival, parking and turning space.
All vehicles come with professional, fully licensed drivers who know local routes and timings.

If you'd like a recommendation, ask for help — we’ll suggest the best size and journey plan for your group.

Compare transport options

How does a chauffeur-driven minibus compare with other choices? Think of it as the middle ground between hiring multiple cars and booking a full-size coach.

Minibus with driver vs cars: no parking headaches, no designated driver, and better group cohesion.
Minibus vs full-size coach: more convenient for town centres and smaller groups; coaches are better for very large groups or long-distance charter when seated capacity is paramount.
Minibus vs self-drive van: safer and stress-free — your driver handles routing, traffic and local parking.

For airport runs, festivals or executive transfers, an executive minibus rental can be the practical, comfortable choice. Keywords visitors often use include minibus hire UK, minibus with driver and 16 seater minibus hire — we cover those needs across Northamptonshire and beyond.

Local knowledge

We know Wellingborough and its neighbours — which makes journeys quicker and more reliable. Drivers are familiar with Wellingborough railway station, local hotels such as the town-centre chains and independent venues, plus nearby attractions like Rushden Lakes and Wicksteed Park in Kettering.

For airports we commonly run transfers to East Midlands and London Luton, and services to Kettering and Wellingborough stations are routine. We also regularly serve nearby towns including Irthlingborough, Rushden, Burton Latimer, Higham Ferrers and Kettering — so whether it’s a short hop across town or a longer trip across Northamptonshire, we’ve planned that route before.

Safety is non-negotiable. All our drivers are DBS-checked, fully insured and experienced in group travel. Vehicles are serviced according to manufacturer schedules and undergo pre-drive safety checks before every trip.

A local story

One Saturday last summer we picked up a family from Wellingborough for an early flight at East Midlands. The grandparents, the bridal party and a pile of suitcases were all nervous about timings. Our driver arrived 15 minutes early, loaded luggage, and the group relaxed in reclining seats with chargers at hand. They landed refreshed and on time — that kind of calm, uncomplicated service is exactly why people come back to us.
