Frequently asked questions

Our buses range from 27-seater minibuses through to luxury coaches that can accommodate 57 passengers for overnight trips and extended touring. If you have access requirements, please let us know when booking, so we can allocate the best vehicle for your needs.
Sitting three to a seat, we can accommodate up to 62 students with seat belts. For comfort and safety, we recommend three-to-a-seat seating for children aged 10 and under. Please let us know when booking if you require this seating arrangement.
For longer trips, the bus will stay with the group for the duration of the excursion. For shorter trips that drop customers to a destination, it may be more economical for your group to be picked up by a different bus. If you prefer the bus to stay with your group, let us know and we can provide a customised quote.

Our charter coaches have undercarriage compartments that can accommodate large items such as golf bags, tents, and musical equipment. If your group requires additional storage space, please inform us in advance so we can provide a bus that meets your needs. There is also a small amount of overhead storage available for handheld items.
