Choosing the right minibus

Pick a vehicle that fits passengers comfortably and leaves room for luggage. Below we break down the most common options and what they suit.

Compact 8–12 seaters

The Compact 8–12 seaters are ideal for family outings, small wedding parties or airport runs where a few suitcases will travel with the group. These are nimble on narrow lanes around Bollington and Poynton and easy to park outside hotels.

15–16 seater executive minibuses

For larger groups or when comfort matters over longer distances, the 15–16 seater executive minibuses offer reclining seats, generous luggage areas, air conditioning and USB charging — features that make journeys to venues in Manchester or conferences at regional business parks more relaxing.

When you plan, remember that every vehicle booked through our network comes with a professional, fully licensed driver who is DBS-checked and insured.

1. Estimate passenger and luggage numbers — allow a little extra space.
