UK wedding season runs broadly May to September, which is also when minibuses are hardest to book at short notice — the smaller pool of 8 and 16-seat vehicles gets reserved well ahead of saloon cars. School summer holidays (late July to early September) add day-trip and family travel demand on top of that.
December brings its own peak around the Christmas and New Year period, with office parties, family gatherings and New Year's Eve group travel all competing for the same vehicles in a short window. Booking earlier in any of these periods gives you a real choice of vehicle rather than whatever's left.
