I’ve booked transport to a festival 2 years in a row via CHC. They’ve always been really helpful, have trusted partners they work with, and helped resolve issues I had on one occasion when I had no luck dealing directly with the transport company. I’d highly recommend.

About Coach Hire Comparison

Fun times and memory making are what fuel the team behind Coach Hire Comparison.

James and Laura Stokes, created the company in 2010 in a bid to make coach and minibus travel more affordable and accessible for people when planning big trips, days out or holidays.

Proud parents of two children, two dogs and Coco – the cheeky orange mascot for CHC – the couple, originally ran their own coach hire company but soon spotted an opportunity to help other operators bring in more business.

In 2023 they joined forces with CMAC who, along with innovation, investment, and new talent, bring industry-leading ground transport expertise to the business, helping Coach Hire Comparison reach even more people.

“There’s nothing better than a sunny weekend listening to your favourite music in a field but, if there’s ever a time you don’t want to be driving it’s the day after a festival! One of the best things about CHC is the role we get to play in helping people create really special memories and taking some of the stress out of the organising side of things. We’re working on improvements to the platform all the time and look forward to helping many more people plan their special festival trips.” ”
