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
Average coach prices per hour
Although no two prices will be identical for the same journey, there is a general 'rule of thumb' you can adopt to give you an idea of how much the hiring of a coach or minibus is likely to be.
Take a look at our comparison tables, and if you want to obtain accurate quotes directly from our members, just hit the 'get a quote' button now.
| Per hour | Standard | Executive | VIP |
| 16-seater | £22 | £33 | £40 |
| 29-seater | £30 | £42 | £50 |

Samantha Harland, West Yorskhire
Fri 07 Sep 2018 16:26pm
"The site itself was easy to use, and I was notified of quotes from operators fairly quickly. I would have liked to have been able to amend my existing quote request (and for the same operators to re-quote) as the time i initially gave for the quote was an estimate, however it would only let me submit a new quote, which gave completely different pricing. I was able to contact the operator however, and was able to resolve this promptly. contacting the operator was simple and easy."
Response from operator:
"Hi, thank you for leaving your review. It's difficult for us to let you edit journey details once you've submitted the quote because this effects all operators that have already quoted and this could mean a price change. I'm pleased you we're overall happy with the system and we hope to see you again soon.
Kind regards,
James"

"I originally booked a mini bus through a different web site 4 month ago and 3 weeks before the due date they cancelled it! I was devastated as this was to transport guests to my wedding! The company who I originally booked from suggested using other drivers with an added amount of £100 which I obviously refused! I called lots of different companies but they were all at least £50 more than my original booking! I found this site on google so I gave it a try with not much faith or hope but I was pleasantly surprised when the quotes started coming and one of them being cheaper than my original booking! Once my booking was confirmed I contacted the taxi company to double check the booking and was really happy with their customer service. I will definitely be using this site again if I ever need to book more transport."
