If your group is six people, the obvious search is “6 seater hire”. Most of the results are self-drive cars and people carriers, where one of you has to do the driving. West London Minibus Hire works the other way round: every booking includes a professional driver, and our smallest vehicle is an 8 seater executive minibus. For a group of six, that is usually a better fit than a six-seat car.
Why an 8 Seater Works for a Group of Six
A six-seat people carrier is full as soon as six people sit in it, which leaves nowhere sensible for luggage. An 8 seater gives your group two spare seats, so bags, coats and shopping travel inside with you instead of being squeezed around your feet.
- Room to spread out: everyone gets a proper seat, with spare seats for luggage.
- No designated driver: nobody in your group has to stay sober or watch the road.
- One pick-up, one drop-off: the whole group travels together and arrives together.
- A driver who handles the journey: traffic, parking and drop-off points are the driver’s job, not yours.
What Is Included When You Book
Every quote covers a licensed professional driver, fuel and the vehicle for the journey you describe. Our vehicles are ULEZ compliant. Quotes are fixed, so the price you agree is the price you pay, with no booking fees or card charges added later.
Driver Included or Self-Drive: What Changes
Self-drive hire can look cheaper on the surface, but the person at the wheel still pays for fuel, parking and any congestion or ULEZ charges, and they spend the journey concentrating on the road instead of enjoying it. With a driver included, one fixed price covers the trip and everyone in the group can relax.
We do not offer self-drive hire. If you need to drive the vehicle yourself, a car rental company is the right place to look. If you would rather be driven, that is exactly what we do.
