Our drivers

Our drivers are all holders of both PCV driving licences and enhanced DBS clearance, as well as being well versed in providing a safe and courteous service to all our customers, as shown by the number of school contracts operated by us and the comments made by satisfied clients in the testimonials section of this website.

Our coaches

Our company policy is to renew all vehicles after 3 years thus ensuring that we are able to provide reliable, modern and comfortable transport at all times.

We can supply vehicles with drivers ranging from 16 mini-buses to 35 seat midi-coaches to meet all your transport requirements. All our vehicles come with air-conditioning, 3-point seatbelts and suitable luggage space.

Schools and Groups

The seating capacity of our vehicles enables us to cater for groups or school parties where larger coaches would be too expensive.

We also operate throughout the Christmas period providing winter coach hire to schools, groups and businesses.

Due to the compact nature of the company we are able to offer highly competitive prices for a reliable service.

We are always happy to arrange a meeting to discuss your requirements and show you our vehicles.
