Which Bus Size Do I Need for a School Group?

The right vehicle depends on your class or year-group size, from a 14-seat minibus for a small group to a 57-seat coach for a full year group.

14

Seat Minibus
A small class, committee or specialist group.

24

Seat Minibus
A single class.

37-48

Seat Coach
Two classes or a sporting squad.

57

Seat Coach
A full year-group excursion.
For a group of 35 to 48 students, including teachers and helpers, the 48-seat coach is usually the best fit. Tell us your numbers and we will recommend the right vehicle, including whether a larger coach or more than one vehicle is better suited to your group.

Just a quick email to thank you and Jonathan for great service in getting our group to Brooklyn and home again yesterday. The bus arrived on time ( which doesn’t often happen for us with other companies we have used in the past). We arrived back late from our transfer but Jonathan was very accommodation.

We will certainly look at using your charter services again in the future and I often have groups who, are planning to visit Featherdale, enquire about suitable coach charters so I’d be happy to recommend your services to them.

Hi Joan,

 

I just wanted to send an email of appreciation. Thank you so much for your support.

 

It was a really important milestone event for us, and it was a real logistical challenge when our transportation was cancelled last minute.

 

I just want you to know that your professionalism and support from yourself and the drivers was greatly appreciated.

 

If you would like me to do a Google review or something if there’s any way that I can thank you please let me know.

 

Kind regards,

Peter
