5 Things to Know Before Booking Coach or Minibus Hire in the UK
1. Know Your Group Size
Coach hire ranges from 8-seater minibuses to full-size 70-seater coaches. Knowing your exact headcount helps avoid overpaying or underbooking. Always allow a few extra seats just in case.
2. Check if the Operator is Fully Insured
Always use licensed operators with full public liability insurance and DBS-checked drivers — especially for school or corporate travel. We only work with vetted companies who meet these standards.
3. Timing Affects Pricing
Like flights, coach hire can be cheaper when booked early. Prices can vary depending on the day, time, and route. We’ll always try to get you the best quote based on your journey and timing.
4. Not All Vehicles Are the Same
Some vehicles come with leather seating, air con, toilets, and USB ports — others don’t. Tell us if you need executive features or wheelchair access so we can match the right vehicle to your needs.
5. You Don’t Have to Call Around — Let Us Do It
Rather than calling 5 or 6 companies, we do the legwork for you. My Coach Hire is a nationwide broker — we’ll source multiple quotes and manage the whole booking process for you
