For group travel, the lead vehicle is the minibus — 8-seat and 16-seat options for groups too large for a standard saloon or estate. Saloon and estate cars remain available for smaller parties or split journeys, and can be booked alongside a minibus if your group needs to travel in two vehicles.
We size the vehicle to your confirmed passenger count and luggage rather than sending whichever car is free — tell us your numbers when you enquire and we'll match you to the right one.
16 seats — our standard choice for weddings, school trips and larger groups.
Saloon and estate cars are available for individuals or smaller groups.
Yes — booking one seat below capacity often works better with full suitcases.
Quick check before you call — this suggests a vehicle size for your group, it isn't a price quote.
A standard minibus takes between 8 and 16 passengers, depending on the vehicle. Smaller 8-seaters suit family trips and airport runs, while 16-seat minibuses are usually booked for weddings, school trips and larger corporate groups. Tell us your group size when you enquire and we will match you to the right vehicle rather than the nearest one available.
It depends on your group size relative to the minibus capacity. An 8-seater booked with 8 passengers will have limited boot space, so for airport or port runs with full suitcases we usually recommend booking one seat down or moving up to a 16-seat vehicle. Tell us your case count when you enquire and we will size the vehicle correctly.
Yes, saloon and estate cars remain available for individual passengers or smaller parties who don't need a full minibus, and can be booked alongside a minibus if your group needs to travel in two vehicles.
Yes, for larger groups or a party that needs to split, we can arrange more than one vehicle running together or in waves — tell us your total numbers and we'll plan the right combination.
No — every vehicle in this fleet comes with a professional, licensed driver included. If you specifically need self-drive, that's a different type of service typically offered by van-hire companies rather than a private hire operator like us.
Yes, every vehicle and driver operating on this site is licensed by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, and private hire vehicles here must be pre-booked rather than street-hailed.
