Wedding transport: Should I hire a coach or a fleet of minibuses?

With your wedding day being the most important day of your life, it is understandable why you would want everything to be just so, especially the transport. Playing a pivotal role in the overall image presented to guests, a couple will usually accommodate themselves, the bridesmaids, groomsmen as well as their parents. However, of the late, many couples have started to arrange transport for their guests, booking minibuses and coaches to get them to and from the various destinations of the wedding day.

Working with brides, grooms and party planners every day, we are often asked ‘should I hire a coach or a fleet of minibuses?’. While it is all down to taste, here are a few points that may sway you in your decision.

Coach hire advantages

All-in-one – Though the idea of a herd of minibuses with matching ribbon sounds ideal, putting all of your guests in one large coach can influence a real energetic kick-start to the day.

One route – If all of your guests are coming from one area then one coach would suffice, only having to liaise with one driver, take one route and all arriving at once.

The benefits of minibus fleet hire

Fleet discounts – Though hiring one vehicle can be a less stressful route to go down, it is not always the cheapest option. Here at Coach Broker, we are renowned for our impeccable fleet discounts. This means, if you hire more than one minibus you will have a reduced rate, saving larger parties a considerable amount of money.

Flexibility – If you have a big family then they will no doubt be dotted up and down the country. By hiring a large number of vehicles you can cater to certain areas at once, ensuring guests from all over the country can make their way to the wedding of the year!
