Question 5

I want to ensure the best price/fare, when should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking as early as possible to secure the best rates and vehicle availability, especially during peak travel periods such as school holidays, bank holidays and major events. That said, we often have last-minute availability and our team will always do their best to secure a competitive fare regardless of when you book.

Question 6

Do you charge per passenger or on the size of the vehicle?

Accepted Answer

We charge based on the vehicle type and journey, not per individual passenger. This makes group travel with CheapMinibus significantly more cost-effective than booking individual taxis or public transport. The more passengers you have, the better the value per person.

Question 7

Are there extra charges to pay if our flight is late?

Accepted Answer

No — we monitor flight arrival times and our drivers adjust to your actual landing time at no extra cost. We understand that flight delays are outside your control, and our aim is to make your airport transfer as stress-free as possible.

Question 8

How do we get collected from the airport we have landed at?

Accepted Answer

Your driver will meet you in the arrivals hall holding a name board with your name or group name. You will receive full driver details, including contact number, in advance of your travel. If you have any difficulty locating your driver, simply call the number provided and they will assist you immediately.

Question 9

Will experienced drivers be used on our journey?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All drivers used by CheapMinibus are fully qualified, CRB (DBS) checked and VOSA registered. We only work with reliable and professional operators that have gone through our rigorous vetting procedures. You can travel with complete confidence and peace of mind.

Question 10

Do you take on corporate company contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we work with a wide range of corporate clients and can set up regular account arrangements for businesses that require ongoing group transport. Whether it's regular staff transfers, conference travel or client hospitality, our team can put together a tailored contract to suit your requirements. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Question 11

Do the coaches and minibuses have WiFi?

Accepted Answer

WiFi availability depends on the specific vehicle and operator. Many of our coaches and executive minibuses are fitted with WiFi. Please mention this requirement when requesting your quote and we will do our best to source a vehicle that includes this facility.

Question 12

What's the maximum amount of passengers per coach and minibus?

Accepted Answer

Our minibuses can accommodate up to 16 passengers and our coaches can accommodate up to 72 passengers. We have a wide range of vehicle sizes in between, so whether you're travelling as a small group of 8 or a large party of 72, we have the right vehicle for you. We can also arrange multiple vehicles for very large groups.

Question 13

What are your opening hours?

Accepted Answer

Our customer service team is available 7 days a week. Vehicles and drivers operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year — including bank holidays and Christmas — so we can accommodate early-morning airport departures and late-night arrivals. Please contact us and we will be happy to assist.

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

From London and the South East to Scotland and Wales, we can service your booking wherever you are travelling in the UK. We also cover major sporting events and business events nationwide.

How far in advance can I book my coach or minibus?
