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!

Important Qualities Every Coach Driver Must Have

A good coach company only employs the best drivers. And Bus Hire Compare ensure that all our affiliate companies vet their drivers in every aspect concerning transporting groups of passengers.

The driver at the wheel is so important to a transport company for many reasons, and not least because he is the public face of the company. The driver represents what the coach company stands for and is representative of the whole operation.

So what are the important qualities that every good coach driver must have? We have listed below some of the most important attributes any good coach driver must have.

Important Qualities Every Coach Driver Must Have

Approachable

Above all, the driver of a bus or coach should be personable and approachable. Passengers have to feel confident with the person at the wheel and if they feel they can approach the driver with concerns and questions they will be far more likely to sit back and enjoy the trip.

Even before a passenger takes their seat the driver should be welcoming them on board and explaining the day in terms of route and times etc. As always a friendly smile goes a long way to create the right impression and ambiance.

Leadership

Above all, the driver is the captain of his own ship and must show who is in control at all times. Every coach charter brings a fresh new challenge. The mix of passengers will be totally different and a driver has to adapt.

The top drivers are those who are natural born leaders, and they are there first and foremost to look after the safety of the passengers and the vehicle.

Act Calm and Collected

Each excursion throws up its own unique difficulties and truly capable drivers can handle anything that gets thrown at them in a calm and confident manner.

Some of the problems that can crop up on a coach charter are:

Poor weather conditions
Bad driving
Poor traffic conditions
Road closures
Problems with the vehicle
Problems with passengers
Road rage

Dedication

Driving a bus full of people is not your average job and to be successful a driver needs to have dedication to who they are working for and the job that they are doing. With this quality it not only makes them better drivers but will make their work more rewarding.

Most of us spend a third of our lives working, so you may as well be happy and contented at what you do.

Courteous

All good drivers are highly respectful of their colleagues and who they work for. This attitude rubs off on how they treat their passengers. It may seem to many that a driver is a lone wolf but this is often not so. Many drivers work for a large transport company and form part of an effective team.

When you are looking to hire the next bus for your event contact Bus Hire Compare, and we will ensure that the companies that we recommend have first class drivers.
