Mini-Buses for Hire around Gloucestershire

Minibus Hire in Winchcombe

Looking for fuss-free Minibus Hire in Winchcombe? You’ve come to the right place. At Private Coach Hire we treat every booking like an invitation to show off why local travel around Winchcombe and the Cotswolds feels so special: winding lanes, village tea rooms, and that settled Gloucestershire calm. Whether you’re planning an airport run, a wedding shuttle, or a school trip, our service pairs friendly local knowledge with a nationwide network of vetted operators.

Why choose a minibus with driver?

Why not make the day easier? A minibus with driver removes the stress of parking, route-finding and designated drivers. Chauffeur-driven minibuses are ideal when groups want to enjoy the journey — chats, laughs and a relaxed start and finish to the day. They’re safer than piling into multiple cars and more convenient than self-drive vans when you factor in luggage, accessibility and punctuality.

Perfect for many occasions

We frequently handle transport for:

Airport transfers (Birmingham, Bristol and beyond)
Weddings and receptions across Gloucestershire
School trips and university groups
Corporate outings, team days and conferences
Sports fixtures, festivals and day tours

Our fleet and features

Comfort matters on every mile. Our range spans compact 8–12 seaters to larger 15–16 seat executive models, all driven by professional, experienced chauffeurs. We match vehicles to your needs so you never pay for space you don’t use.

8–12 seat minibuses

The 8–12 seat minibuses are perfect for close-knit groups, family trips and smaller wedding parties. They handle narrow lanes around Winchcombe and still offer good luggage capacity for overnight stays.

15–16 seat executive minibuses

If you’ve got a larger group, our 15–16 seat executive minibuses provide roomy seating, generous luggage storage and executive touches that make longer journeys comfortable.

Comfort and extras

Expect reclining seats, air conditioning, USB charging, tinted windows and thoughtful luggage solutions. Many vehicles include subtle extras for sightseeing or longer transfers, ensuring pleasant travel whether you’re bound for Cheltenham Racecourse or a family holiday.

Where we go — local and beyond

We’re rooted in Winchcombe but travel anywhere you need across Gloucestershire and the UK. Common routes include Cheltenham Spa station links, transfers to Birmingham and Bristol Airports, runs to Tewkesbury and Evesham, and bespoke itineraries that visit Northleach, Netherton and beyond. If your group is heading to a festival, a corporate event or a wedding venue, our local drivers know the back roads and arrival points that make a day run smoothly.

Airports and stations

Frequent transfer requests are for Birmingham Airport, Bristol Airport and Cheltenham Spa station — we plan for traffic peaks and luggage handling, giving a reliable door-to-door service.

Booking and planning advice

A little planning goes a long way. Use these tips to make sure your minibus hire goes without a hitch:

Choose the right size: Count seats and luggage, and when in doubt go one size up for roomy comfort.
Book early for busy weekends and wedding season; last-minute bookings are possible thanks to our nationwide operator network, but availability is best when reserved ahead.
Coordinating multiple vehicles? Tell us your itinerary and we’ll match pick-up times so groups arrive together.
All vehicles come with professional, fully licensed drivers; drivers are DBS-checked and fully insured for passenger carrying work.

How to prepare for pickup

Local knowledge you can trust

We’re proud to be local to Winchcombe and to serve nearby towns such as Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Netherton, Evesham and Northleach. That local presence means smoother journeys: we avoid bottlenecks, know sensible parking spots for weddings and know how best to manoeuvre minibuses on narrow Cotswold lanes. That’s the kind of detail that turns a transfer into a pleasant part of the day.

A final note

If you value punctual service, safe travel and drivers who treat your group like guests rather than passengers, choose Private Coach Hire for your next trip. Ask about driver-briefed itineraries, vehicle features like USB charging and air conditioning, and flexible options for both short Gloucestershire hops and nationwide travel.
