Getting a group to an event, and home again
Most events have the same transport problem. Everyone needs to arrive at roughly the same time, nobody wants to drive, and getting home at the end of the night is harder than getting there. A minibus or coach with a driver solves all three, and it's usually cheaper per head than a run of taxis.
Picking the right size
Count people first, then bags. Seat numbers are passenger seats; the driver has their own.
- Up to 4: an executive car or MPV. Good for a couple of guests to the airport or a client pick-up.
- 5 to 8: an 8-seat minibus, with room for about eight large cases.
- 9 to 16: a 16-seat minibus, the most popular size for nights out and wedding guests.
- 17 to 24: a 24-seat minibus.
- 25 to 72: a 33, 53 or 72-seat coach. For more than 72, we send two vehicles and price them together.
If you're close to the limit, go up a size. Three extra people turning up on the day is common, and a bigger vehicle often costs less than you'd expect.
Events we do most
Weddings. Guests from a hotel to the ceremony, on to the reception, and home at the end. See wedding transport.
Matches and concerts. Murrayfield, Tynecastle, Easter Road, the Hydro in Glasgow. Stadium traffic is slow afterwards, so agree a pick-up spot a short walk from the ground.
Parties. Birthdays, stag and hen weekends, graduations. A return booking means the driver comes back at the time you choose.
Work events. Away days, conferences at the Royal Highland Centre or the EICC, and staff Christmas nights. See corporate travel.
Return or hourly?
If you know when the event finishes, book a return: the driver drops you off and comes back for the collection. If the plan might change, or you're making several stops, book hourly hire and the driver stays with you. The booking form prices both, so you can compare.
Every vehicle comes with a professional driver who is licensed, insured and background-checked. We don't do self-drive.
