Why choose us?

Practical help from quote to collection.

Before you book, our team goes through the key points with you: availability, driver rules, mileage, delivery and any requirements for specialist vehicles.

Free delivery and collection

You can request delivery and collection at a suitable UK mainland address, such as your home, workplace or hotel, or a station, airport or event venue.

We confirm the address, access, timing, ID and driver checks before the booking goes ahead.

Unlimited mileage

Unlimited mileage comes with most rentals, which makes them well suited to long trips, jobs with several stops and travel beyond your immediate area.

Fair-use or pro-rata mileage rules may apply to courier use and truck hire, so please check the mileage terms before you book.

Coverage across the UK mainland

Vehicles can be sourced through a national supplier network for local journeys and longer trips across the UK mainland.

Whether a vehicle is available will depend on its type, the address and the date you need it.

European cover

On eligible hires, we can arrange cover for driving in Europe, provided you declare the journey before you set off.

Extra charges and restrictions may apply, and we do not offer one-way rentals for European trips.

One-way rentals

If the vehicle needs to go back somewhere other than where the hire began, you can ask for a one-way rental.

It applies only to eligible bookings within the UK mainland. We confirm the route, cost and return arrangements with you by phone.

Insurance included

Standard rental insurance comes as part of the hire. We explain the driver requirements, excess, deposit and optional waivers before you book.

The standard vehicle insurance does not cover goods in transit.

Discount for company own insurance

If you are using your company's own approved insurance, ask us whether a lower hire rate is available.

We need to confirm that your own insurance is accepted and that you qualify for the discount before you book.

A wide choice of vehicles

With cars, vans, minibuses and trucks in a variety of sizes, transmissions and layouts, our booking team can find a vehicle that suits your journey.

The exact model, size and transmission depend on what is available locally.

Planning seats, bags and drivers for a group

Give the confirmed passenger number rather than a best guess. List luggage, sports kit or equipment separately, because a full seat count can leave little room for bags. Agree one clear meeting point for the group before travel. Share the intended driver's age and licence details when you enquire, so the team can check eligibility for the size of minibus before quoting.

Fitting the minibus to your trip

Base your choice on how many passengers are travelling, the luggage and who is eligible to drive. Smaller groups may be well served by a 7 or 9-seater, whereas 12, 15 and 17-seat vehicles call for closer checks on licence, age and luggage space. The range includes the Vauxhall Zafira 5 + 2, Galaxy 7 Seater Manual, Galaxy 7 Seater Automatic, 9 Seater Manual and 9 Seater Automatic, depending on dates, driver details and availability. Make, model, transmission, seating, payload and licence position are all confirmed when you are quoted, so treat the vehicles listed as a guide to the kind of hire on offer, not a guaranteed reservation of a particular model.

Listing Equipment and Baggage

Start with a written count of passengers, then move on to what each person is bringing. For an airport run, note how many suitcases, cabin bags and holdalls are expected, along with rough sizes; a ski bag behaves differently from a rucksack. For a sports team, list kit bags, boot bags and any equipment such as bats or racquets in soft cases. Weddings may involve dresses on hangers and garment bags, while school trips might add packed lunches and day sacks. Record the dimensions of the bulkiest items and any item a passenger cannot keep with them on board. These notes give the team something concrete to work with when you ask for a quote.

Planning a Club Trip

Club outings run on shared information, so gather it before anyone commits. Confirm the date and preferred departure time, then collect names, contact numbers and any membership details the group expects to track. Ask members to state their luggage in advance rather than on the day, and note whether anyone has particular needs around seating or drop-off points. If the destination is a venue with its own arrival arrangements, record a contact name and number there too, since questions about gates, parking or waiting areas are best directed to them. When you approach the team for a quote, include the group size, the date and your delivery point preference, and ask which questions remain open on their side.

What to confirm on the phone

Ahead of confirming the hire, go over the key points: whether the vehicle is available, what the driver needs, mileage, insurance, delivery or collection arrangements and any extras you have asked for. The number of passengers, luggage, driver age, licence entitlement and any D1 requirement should all be checked before the minibus is confirmed. A clear enquiry gives the date, length of hire, rough route, delivery or pickup address, expected passengers or load, and any special requirements that might affect whether a vehicle is suitable.

Frequently asked questions

Minibus Hire questions

How old do I need to be to drive a 15 or 17 seat minibus?

To drive a 15 or 17 seat minibus, you will usually need to be 25 or over and must hold the correct D1 entitlement on your licence. Requirements can differ for smaller people carriers and minibuses, so driver age and licence details have to be checked before booking.

Are the licence rules the same for every minibus?

No. The larger 15 and 17 seat minibuses may involve different checks on age, licence and D1 entitlement. Before choosing a vehicle, confirm the driver, the number of passengers and the luggage needs.

What minibus seating options can I choose from?

Typical choices are 7, 9, 12, 15 and 17 seat vehicles. Whether one is available depends on the dates, driver eligibility, luggage space and local fleet availability.

Questions about booking, cover and more

Is insurance included in the rental price?

Yes. The vehicle hire includes standard rental insurance. Before the booking is agreed, the team will explain the excess, the driver requirements and any optional collision damage waiver. Goods carried inside the vehicle are not covered by the standard vehicle insurance.

Do you charge extra for mileage?

Unlimited mileage is included on most rentals, subject to the fair-use policy confirmed before booking. Courier work is excluded, and larger commercial vehicles may carry their own monthly or pro-rata mileage limits, so always check the mileage terms for the vehicle you choose.

Can you deliver the vehicle to a location I request?

Yes. Delivery and collection can usually be arranged across the UK mainland. Before the vehicle is dropped off or picked up, the team will confirm the address, timing, access, identification and driver checks.

Can I use the vehicle in Europe?

For eligible hires, European cover can be arranged if you request it before you travel. This is an optional extra and may come with additional charges and restrictions. Vehicles must not leave the approved area unless the booking team has agreed to it.

Is one-way vehicle hire available?

Many UK mainland bookings can be set up as one-way rentals where the route and type of vehicle permit. One-way hire is not available to offshore islands or into Europe, and the cost and return point must be confirmed before you book.

Can I get zero insurance excess?

No. A zero-excess option is not offered as standard. You may be able to reduce your excess liability with a collision damage waiver, and the booking team will explain which options apply to the vehicle you select.

How can I book?

Every hire is arranged over the phone, so ring the booking team during opening hours and have the vehicle type, hire dates, delivery or collection details, driver information and journey requirements to hand.

What deposit will I need to pay?

A deposit is usually taken when the vehicle is delivered or collected, covering items such as fuel, fines, parking tickets and damage costs. You will be told the exact amount and how the refund works before the hire is agreed.

Should the vehicle be refuelled before it is returned or collected?

Yes. The vehicle should normally come back with the agreed level of fuel. Any shortfall can be charged or taken from the deposit, in line with the hire terms confirmed before you book.

Can I pay for a booking by credit card?

Credit cards may be accepted alongside other business payment methods, such as corporate purchasing cards and BACS transfer, where approved. Certain payment methods may need to pass checks before the booking is confirmed.

What information do I need to book a vehicle?

To book, the team needs your preferred vehicle or size, how long you need it, the delivery or collection date and time, details for the driver and any additional drivers, your contact information, address details and the relevant postcodes. If you are not sure which vehicle would suit, they can help you narrow down the choice.

What licence requirements apply?

Every driver must present a valid driving licence. You will usually need to have held it for at least one year, although two years is preferred. Provisional and expired licences are not accepted, and larger minibuses, trucks and specialist vehicles can involve extra entitlement checks.

How up to date are the vehicles?

The fleet is regularly maintained and updated, with the aim of providing modern, reliable vehicles. The exact make, model, age and specification will depend on what is available when you book.

Is a satnav or GPS available to hire?

A satnav may be offered as an optional extra. Mention it to the booking team when you arrange the vehicle so they can confirm whether one is available and what it costs.

Which vehicle sizes am I allowed to drive?

It depends on the vehicle's weight or seating capacity and the categories listed on the back of your driving licence. A standard UK category B entitlement usually covers vehicles of up to 3.5 tonnes and up to 9 seats, though larger minibuses, trucks and specialist vehicles may require additional entitlement.
