Full Terms and Conditions Relating to Coach Hire Comparisons Payment Protection
Please note that Coach Hire Comparison cannot recall a single incident since the launch of our site in 2010 when bookings have been made online. We have facilitated Tens of Thousands of bookings during this time. This 100% security record is due to the rigorous vetting procedures we apply to both partners and their vehicles prior to allowing them to advertise on our site.
We are proud of our reputation as the SAFE SITE for Coach & Minibus hirers to come to for their vehicle rental. This reputation has been built because partners and Coach & Minibus hirers have strictly followed our advice on bookings and payments.
Whilst the Coach & Minibus Hirer only pays the Partners price and Coach Hire Comparison do not add a penny to that price in any-way we still want to protect the Coach & Minibus Hirer from having any worry that the vehicle you have booked, doesn’t show up.
Payment protection will cover you for a vehicle no show with no communication or explanation whatsoever from the partner. On occasion vehicles may be running slightly behind schedule. This could be blocked roads or volume of traffic that prevents the vehicle from arriving on-time. CHC will always request from our partners that where possible, they inform the Coach & Minibus Hirer that the vehicle is on its way but slightly delayed. This isn’t always possible if the driver of the vehicle can’t make a call to either inform his/her employer and for them to notify the Coach & Minibus Hirer. We will not cover for a late vehicle and advise you to take this matter up with the Partner.
We strongly recommend Coach & Minibus Hirers to take out normal holiday insurance to cover all other eventualities.
These Terms and Conditions should be read in conjunction with the main Terms and Conditions, the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy detailed on this web-site.
If you do not agree to any aspect of these Terms and Conditions then you have no right to apply for reimbursement under this Policy.
We may revise this Policy at any time and at our sole discretion by amending the applicable web page on the Website or by publishing notices elsewhere on the Website.
To get this Payment Protection into context Coach Hire Comparison is an advertising service for Partners and a Vehicle Search Facility for Coach & Minibus Hirers. We do not own, nor have we inspected, nor do we have any control whatsoever over any vehicle listed on our site and we make no representations or warranties regarding any of the vehicles on our web-site.

To make a claim, you will need to email info@coachhirecomparison.co.uk with any details of your vehicle no-show including reference number of your booking, the partner you booked with, the dates and amounts of any payments made to that partner including type of payment. Ultimately it will be at Coach Hire Comparisons sole discretion as to whether a Payment Protection claim is valid and is recompensed.
Clearly, Coach Hire Comparison cannot legislate for verified partners on our site breaking the law and going rogue. For example, taking bookings and then closing their business without any such notice to Coach Hire Comparison – This will be covered by your own insurance. Any such incident would not be covered by our Payment Protection.
Coach Hire Comparison operates solely in an advertising capacity and does not have any form of contract with the Coach & Minibus Hirer. We cannot get involved in any form of dispute between a Coach & Minibus Hirer and a Partner. As such it is for the Coach & Minibus Hirer to take any claim up with the Partner and not with Coach Hire Comparison. However, if any Partner breaches its terms and conditions with Coach Hire Comparison, we will stand side by side with the Coach & Minibus Hirer and support them with their claims against the Partner.

Coach Hire Newcastle Upon Tyne | Minibus Hire Prices In Newcastle Upon Tyne | Tyne and Wear
Officially named “Newcastle upon Tyne” for its location just north of the River Tyne, and originally known as the county town of Northumberland, this jewel of the northeast is one of England’s largest cities. The City is regarded as the capital of the region and with good reason. Set against the north bank of the Tyne, the city hosts a total of seven city bridges, the most famous of which is arguably the suspension bridge that carries the A1 into the city. Driving into Newcastle you’ll undoubtedly notice the famous Angel of the North statue, which sets a bold precedent for the city’s historic and cultural heritage. The fully preserved, 19th century Victoria Tunnels, which were originally used to carry coal, but were later used as WW2 air-raid shelters, offer a fascinating descent into the city’s history, and there are a number of other historic buildings, castles and museums to explore for the culturally curious.
Of course, for football fans, St James’ Park, the home of Newcastle United, offers something of a pilgrimage opportunity and if you really want to immerse yourselves in the team, there are tours of the ground available. Other tours available in the city, besides the usual city sightseeing tours, include historical walking tours and even more sinister ‘gory’ walking tours, which explore the city’s more notorious (sometimes literal) haunts.
Just outside the city, you’ll find the sandy beaches of Whitley Bay and Tynemouth and the city acts as a perfect gateway to Sunderland and the northeast as a whole, so what are you waiting for?

Coach Hire Newcastle
Planning a trip to or from Newcastle with a large group but haven’t sorted transportation yet? No need to worry. Our network of coach and minibus operators are on hand to take the tedium and stress of travel arrangements out of your hands. It’s our job to match the right operators with the right clients and it’s a job we take particular pride in. All you need to do is enter your trip requirements into our secure system and we’ll take care of the rest.
The coaches supplied by our network of over 195 fully vetted operators are perfectly tailored for either shot or long distance travel, depending on your requirements. For long distance journeys with large groups, we offer coaches with top-of-the-line facilities such as onboard wi-fi, entertainment, bathroom facilities and more, but if you’re only travelling just outside the city with a smaller group, there are also more affordable options available.
Minibus Hire Newcastle
If you’re travelling to or from Newcastle in groups of 30 or less, a minibus might be a more convenient and cost-effective option than a coach. Minibus hire is perfect for groups who wish to see more of the city by bus, as the more compact size means there are places in the city they will be able to take you that a coach would struggle to reach. This is particularly true of Newcastle, which is built on a number of rather steep hills. The minibuses offered by our operators can stretch to any budget, from luxury to standard and anywhere in between.
To hire a minibus from one of our trusted operators, simply input your travel requirements (date, time, party size and the nature of your trip) and our team will put you in touch with up to four operators waiting to put your trip into motion. In our obligation-free quotations, you’ll receive a full pricing breakdown, full specs and images of the vehicle (or vehicles) you’ll be hiring. We guarantee you the best prices and our service is completely free.
