What a driver-included price covers
One fixed total covers all of this:
- The driver. A professional, licensed driver for the whole booking, not an hour or two of it.
- Fuel. For the agreed route, so you do not refuel or reimburse anyone.
- Insurance. The vehicle and the journey are insured.
- The vehicle. A clean minibus or coach of the size you need, ULEZ compliant.
- Route and timings. The pickups, stops and drop-offs you gave us, priced as one journey.
Anything that would change the total, such as an extra stop or a longer day, is agreed with you before you book, so the figure on the quote does not move on the day.
What the driver does for you
Nobody in your group has to drive, find parking or watch the clock. The driver follows the route you agreed, knows London roads and drop-off points, and takes the group where it needs to be. Nobody has to stay sober, and everyone arrives together.
If the group is carrying luggage or equipment, mention it early. Hiring a minibus with a driver explains how a booking works from quote to pickup.
Keeping it affordable
With a driver included, the biggest levers on price are the day, the hours and the size of the vehicle. A weekday is usually cheaper than a Saturday. One larger vehicle usually costs less than two smaller ones. A clear plan lets us price the route exactly. Six ways to save money on minibus hire goes through them.

Your questions
Is the driver included in the price?
Yes. Every booking comes with a professional, licensed driver, and the driver is part of the price on this page. We do not hire vehicles out without one.
What else does the price include?
Fuel, insurance and the vehicle for the agreed route and hours. The quote is a fixed total, so the price you are given is the price you pay.
What if the driver has to wait?
Tell us when you ask for a quote. If the driver is waiting at a venue, that time is part of the price you are quoted, so there is no meter running on the day.
Are your drivers checked?
Every driver is a professional, licensed driver. Drivers are DBS checked where the booking needs one, such as school trips.
Can I add stops?
Yes. Give us every pickup and drop-off when you ask for a quote and we will price the route as one fixed total.
How do I get an exact price?
Send the pickup, destination, date, time and number of passengers through the quote form, or call us. We reply with one fixed price.
