For this page, private hire means a minibus and driver booked for your own itinerary rather than a fixed A-to-B transfer — a day trip, a shopping run, a seaside outing, or a multi-stop route you plan yourself. The vehicle and driver stay with your group for the agreed hours rather than dropping you and leaving.
Because private hire is priced against hours and distance rather than a single fixed route, we ask for your rough itinerary and timings before quoting, so the figure you're given reflects the actual day rather than a generic estimate.
