Group transfers for more than 8 passengers

If you have a large group then that is not a problem either.

We offer the full range of vehicles from 12 seat mini-buses to the largest coaches with 50-72 seat coaches but we also have access to vehicles half that size.


For the mini-buses up to 16 passengers we have customised vehicles with much larger luggage capacities.

With large groups on cruises the luggage capacity issue is a factor to be considered.

UK coaches are built to European traveller requirements, where one large case is perfectly adequate. A typical 50 seat coach will be able to accommodate around 60 large cases in the luggage hold.

 

For a group travelling with North American flight allowances a 50 seat coach will typically only be able to accommodate the luggage of 35 such passengers maximum.


With large groups just as small groups multi- drop and pick-ups from hotels is routine and if you require sightseeing we can arrange a guide whether it be an orientation tour of London or a niche interest of the group.

Terms & Conditions:

  • Overview - The coaches and minibus vehicles are very highly regulated. Access to airport terminals is very restricted, only the smallest mini-buses can access the car parks by the terminals at most airports and in London coaches may have restrictions beyond whether they can physically access some London streets which can be very narrow. Drivers are monitored by electronic tachographs and rest breaks are enforced. In summary every quotation is unique where the vehicle size, location of departure and arrival, journey length and payment may vary from one enquiry to another. However, there are some broad principles that apply to all quotations

  • No hidden extras - Prices include all taxes, parking and London congestion charges. .

  • Payment by bank transfer, credit card / debit card with no fees - Payment is in advance on our secure web-site or by bank transfer. There is no extra fee for payment by credit card.

  • Cancellation - You can cancel without penalty up to 2 days prior to travel for the mini-buses, The large coaches may have more restrictive conditions on cancellation which are made clear at time of quotation.

  • Don't worry if your flight is late, waiting times - At airports incoming flights are monitored and the driver will adjust his/her arrival time to the actual flight landing time.

  • Airport arrivals - At many of London's airports, and especially for the larger coaches the coach will park is a designated coach bay by the terminal, not in the terminal car parks. The driver is not allowed to leave the vehicle and perform meet n greet. In these occasions the group will have to make their own way to the coach. The airport terminal staff regulate this facility and will provide support if needed and will know exactly where your vehicle is located.
