Three simple steps to coach hire happiness
Let us know where you’re going
Complete a quick form with your journey information, and we’ll whizz your request out to our trusted coach and minibus operators so they can prepare their best quotes.
Sit back and wait for your quotes
You’ll receive a selection of quotes from up to four of our independent coach partners… and they’ll include information on their vehicles too so you can pick your chariot of choice.
Make a cuppa then make your choice
Login to your own little dashboard and review the different quotes. Then place your booking through Coach Hire Comparison and make your local coach company all weak at the knees.

Reasons to feel reassured when using Coach Hire Comparison
Choice
From an 8-seater minibus to a 70-seat road cruiser, our minibus and coach operators can cater for any occasion… from a little trip for mother’s day to the mother of all stag parties.
Quality
Every single operator listed on this site is legally compliant and has all the right licenses. Which is good. But we go a bit further, by making sure they meet our top-notch service standards too.
Control
Once you’ve found your operator and confirmed your booking, we’ll stay out of the way - you can message your chosen coach company directly through your own private login area.
Simplicity
Life’s complicated enough. So we keep things nice and simple - giving you a single place to compare prices, complete bookings and communicate with your driver. Ready to get going?
Free online coach hire prices
When planning a journey, we understand you want to compare prices from reputable companies to get the best deals available. Our secure system works instantly to give you the best quotes for your trip. Simply put in your journey information and we’ll search our database of hundreds of operators, that we have already vetted, then send you a series of quotes for you to choose from. No more using your lunchtime to google search local companies, check reviews, make sure they’re legit and then ring each and every one to find out their rates. Our easy to use service is free and gives you reliable quotes in a matter of minutes.
The way coach hire pricing works is very much dependent on your journey. As expected the further you intend you travel, the more the price is going to be. Your party size can also impact prices. While coaches are more expensive as you have a larger number of seats available and more luxurious facilities such as WIFI, bathroom facilities, charging ports, etc, if you are planning a journey with quite a few people, you can fill the seats and divide the price evenly with all those attending. If you are travelling further but only have a few guests, the price will be more, but you can opt for a smaller vehicle size such as a 6-seater minibus to drive down costs. If hiring a coach was proving too expensive despite having a few guests to share the costs, you could also look at a couple of smaller minibuses as opposed to a coach.
Coach hire prices are largely influenced by your travel so when considering your journey, use a price comparison tool, like the one we offer, to quickly check for a series of quotes. One of the benefits of using a comparison tool like our own is you can easily adjust information to check whether adjusting your date or changing your drop off location will alter the price. Our coach hire comparison tool doesn’t give you average coach hire prices, rough estimates while they give you a ball park figure aren’t useful. You want actual figures from real life companies and that’s what we offer. Like we said your journey date, guest size, locations all influence your coach costs. Different companies will provide different rates – we provide you with a series of costs from operators in your chosen area that fit your requirements, so you have all the details you need to make a decision. No guessing, accurate coach hire prices you can rely on.
Coach hire prices
As you’d probably expect, we’ve learned a thing or two about coach travel over recent years. So we know a cracking price from a costly one.
Although every coach journey is different, you can use our comparison table below as a general ‘rule of thumb’ when planning your travel budgets. Ready for a personalised quote from our coach partners? They’ll be ready when you are - just click the ‘get your quote’ button to get started.

Coach hire companies you’ll love
We love the coach industry. For lots of (slightly soppy) reasons. .
We love the fact that coaches keep our country moving. That our industry pulls together in times of trouble. We love that we help to drive the UK’s tourism sector. And we absolutely love being able to support a world of small, independent (often family-owned) companies that bring joy and adventure to millions of travellers every year.
So to spread that love, Coach Hire Comparison is here to help the UK’s adventure-hungry, eco-friendly travellers to enjoy great value and great service… from the minute they land on our website to the moment they step off their coach.
