Our Services
Minibus Hire with Driver in London
Driven 16-seat minibuses and 24-seat midi coaches for corporate groups, airport runs, weddings, private parties and day trips.
Service Overview
Minibus Hire with Covent Group Travel
Some groups sit awkwardly between transport options: too many for a couple of taxis, not enough to justify a full-size coach. Minibus hire with a driver fills that gap. Covent Group Travel offers a 16-seater minibus and a 24-seater midi coach, each driven for you, so the whole group travels together and no one has to drive.
Minibuses are booked for single journeys, returns and full-day hire. Share the group size, route and timings, and the team will recommend a vehicle and confirm a quote.
GROUP TRAVEL
The Right Size for Mid-Sized Groups
A driven minibus suits groups of roughly eight to twenty-four people who want to stay together. Office teams use it for client visits and away days. Families use it to get everyone to a wedding or a christening at the same time. Sports clubs, choirs and community groups use it for fixtures and outings, and friends book one for a birthday or a night out.
Because a professional driver is included, nobody in the group needs a minibus licence or has to stay sober for the drive home, and there is no need to find parking at the destination. The driver collects the group at an agreed time and place and returns them at the end.
POPULAR USES
What Groups Hire a Minibus For
Minibus enquiries cover a broad range of occasions. These are the ones we see most often.
Airport transfers
Holidaying families, sports teams and business groups heading to or from any London airport.
Weddings
Guest transport between ceremony, reception and hotels, so everyone arrives in time for the photographs.
Events
Concerts, matches, races and festivals, with a set collection point for the return.
Private groups
Birthdays, reunions, hen and stag parties, and family celebrations.
Day trips
Outings from London to the coast, historic towns or countryside attractions and back the same day.
MINIBUS OPTIONS
16-Seat and 24-Seat Minibuses
The 16-seater minibus is the most common choice for groups in the low to mid teens. It is easier to manoeuvre on residential streets and in tighter venue car parks, which helps with pickups from homes or smaller hotels.
The 24-seater midi coach suits larger groups or smaller groups with a lot of luggage, for example an airport run where every passenger has a suitcase. For parties of seven or fewer, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class can be a more economical option, and for groups beyond 24 our coach hire service offers 32 and 37 seats. If your group is borderline, the team will advise which vehicle works best.

No waiting at the venue for latecomers who took a different route.

A single quote for the vehicle, which can be easier to split than individual fares.

HOW IT WORKS
Booking a Minibus and Driver
Use the booking form, call or WhatsApp +44 7494 643115, or email info@coventgroupttravel.co.uk. To get an accurate quote, include:
- The date and the occasion.
- Group size, including children.
- Pickup address and destination, plus any stops in between.
- Departure time and, for return trips, the collection time from the venue.
- Luggage or equipment, such as sports kit or instruments.
The team will confirm the vehicle, availability and price. Popular dates such as summer Saturdays and December can be busy, so early enquiries are recommended.
AREAS & AIRPORTS
Minibus Hire Across London and Beyond
Our minibuses collect from homes, offices and hotels throughout the capital, including Leyton and Stratford in East London, Camden to the north, Croydon to the south, Richmond and Hammersmith in the west, and all of Central London. Matchday groups regularly head to Wembley.
Group airport transfers are available to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City. Day trips beyond London, for example to Brighton, Oxford or Windsor, can be quoted on request.
TRAVEL TIPS
Helpful Information for Group Journeys
Passenger numbers: count every traveller, including infants, as each needs a seat. If numbers may change, give a range and update the team when you know.
Luggage: with a full minibus, space for large suitcases is limited. For airport trips, the 24-seater may be the better choice even for a smaller group.
Pickup point: choose a spot where a minibus can stop safely; narrow residential roads can be awkward, so a nearby main road may work better.
Timings and stops: for events, agree a fixed return collection time. Extra stops along the route can be included if you list them in advance.
