WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT US

Great experience overall. I’ve used

Sharon Lambert

Great experience overall. I’ve used Coachhire a few times now and will definitely continue to do so.

The booking process was seamless,

Sue Phua

The booking process was seamless, and the team was excellent in responding promptly to all enquiries. As we were working to a tight schedule and required multiple vehicles, the coordination was crucial, and I truly appreciated how smoothly everything was managed so both coaches could depart on time. I would especially like to commend our driver, James Chai, who arrived ahead of schedule and ensured a punctual departure. The larger coach was clean and very comfortable, and although the minivan was not a coach, it was nonetheless clean and well presented. Overall, I would gladly recommend and use Coachhire again. Thank you for the outstanding service!

We had an excellent experience! The bus arrived right on time and was clean and very comfortable. The driver was friendly and incredibly accommodating - he made a pit stop for us and even let us play our own music. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and we would absolutely recommend it.

I recently used this coach

Rozalia Cook

I recently used this coach service for a corporate event and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I reached out to Keith, the booking process was seamless and professional. The coach arrived on time, and the driver was courteous and well-versed with the route, ensuring we made it to our destination comfortably and without delay. The coach itself was pristine and well-maintained, providing a level of luxury that exceeded our expectations. The value we received for the service provided was exceptional. Highly recommend for any company looking for reliable transportation.

Recently took a coach to a sporting event and I must say, the experience was top-notch from start to finish. Booking with Stuart was a breeze – efficient and friendly. The coach itself was comfortable and clean, making the journey enjoyable. Our driver was professional and navigated through traffic expertly. It\\'s rare to find such value for money with such exceptional service. Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable group transport to events!

The Do’s and Don’ts of Booking Coach Hire

If you have never booked coach hire before for an event it can be an absolute minefield. As much of the terminology that is used you may be unfamiliar with. Thankfully there are professional group transportation companies such as Bus Hire Compare that can assist you.

However, there are certainly some definite do’s and don’ts that you should be aware of before you decide which company to put your trust in.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Booking Coach Hire

Do Not Use a Company you Cannot Research

Any group transportation company worth its salt will have a website that will tell you all about their organisation. You can see at a glance how long they have been trading. What sort of events and trips they are experienced in, and what vehicles they have in their fleet.

Also often there are customer reviews that you can see their performance record. Previous recommendation is usually a great indicator if you can trust them or not.

Never Book Transport Based Purely on Price

Cost may be a major consideration for selecting your coach hire, but must not be the overriding decision maker. Often the cheapest companies have lower rates for saving money elsewhere. This could be in the quality of their vehicles, how often they are serviced, or if they are regularly cleaned or not.

Do Book with Companies that are Well Established

By choosing a group transportation company with a long track record and has been in the industry for a long time you are more or less guaranteed experience. No coach company with a substandard performance record survives for any length of time.

Do Book with a Company That will let you Inspect Their Vehicles

Any reputable coach charter or bus hire company will have no problems letting you inspect their fleet. Whilst at their offices you can ask to see maintenance schedules and safety records. Even take the opportunity to chat to some of the drivers and get a feel for the company.

Do Trust Your Judgement

Have faith in your own judgement, even though you may never have booked a bus charter before you would have had experience with dealing with online companies. If there are delays in answering your questions or they do not respond with the right answers these should flag up a red flag. And if you have any doubts whatsoever then move on to the next company.

Don’t Pay the Full Amount Upfront

Certain less reputable transportation companies insist on the full hire fee upfront. Unless you have prior knowledge of the company insist on only paying a deposit. It is usual for many companies to want the full amount only seven days before the excursion, or perhaps even set up a credit account with them.
The Do’s and Don’ts of Booking Coach Hire
Bus Hire Compare help facilitate many of these points. We will only suggest reputable group transport companies that we have already fully vetted. Then you can contact them direct with any pertinent questions that you may have.
