About Coach Hire Comparison

James and Laura Stokes created Coach Hire Comparison 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 – James and Laura originally ran their own coach hire company but soon spotted an opportunity to help other operators boost their businesses too.

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.

“One of the best things about CHC is the role we get to play in helping people create special memories, and taking some of the stress out of the organising them. We’re big football fans so we know how challenging it can be to get to games sometimes. “We’re always working on improvements to the platform and love that it can help fellow fans get to their important games on time.”

Your questions answered

The price of your match day minibus or coach will depend on the size of your group and where you’re heading. But, when you use Coach Hire Comparison, you can be confident that you’re getting the very best deal available, as we’ll send you at least three independent quotations (often more than five).

Absolutely! One of the many benefits of booking through CHC is that when you rent a minibus or coach through us you’ll never be left dealing with things on your own. Every customer is allocated a dedicated account manager, who’ll be available to help should anything go wrong.

Yes! Because our network contains hundreds of independent coach and minibus operators, from across the UK, it’s highly unlikely that we won’t be able to find someone to get you to the gates on time.

No. Drinking alcohol on a hired coach or minibus on the way to a sporting event is illegal and operators will be expected to enforce this.
