Flexibility: Self-drive minibus hire allows you to access the benefits of minibus travel as and when you need it. You can tailor your hiring experience to best suit your itinerary. This controlled flexibility lets your group explore each stop on your journey at their preferred pace, without the rush and restrictions of public transport timetables.
Space: Our Ford Transit minibuses are designed for comfortable group travel. Enjoy the experience of making the journey together as a group. Hiring a minibus will avoid the complex and uncomfortable arrangements for spitting the group across multiple less roomy cars.
Cost Effectiveness:Buying a minibus up-front is an expensive purchase that is unnecessary if you only require one for occasional trips. Only pay for the time you need to travel with our minibus hire.
What is Minibus Hire Ideal for?
Events Transport
Get people to and from your event with efficiency. Whether you are attending a wedding, conference or sporting event, minibus hire will help you ensure that groups arrive together safely and on time. Hiring a minibus is also more cost-effective than using shuttles or taxis if you need to collect a number of people from airports or train stations.
Group Holidays
Be it a family reunion, birthday celebration or hen-do, a minibus is ideal for your group holiday. Our models have ample room for your group of people. Be in control of your holiday schedule with your own transport and relax, knowing everyone will arrive at each venue you visit at the same time.
School or Corporate Trips
Self-drive minibus hire is ideal for school trips and corporate outings alike, providing safe and convenient travel for students or colleagues. Providing combined travel for your group will make planning and organisation easier. Additionally, minibus hire is a considerably more cost-effective option than arranging individual transportation methods.
