Minibus Hire Newcastle

When planning for a group trip, things can go haywire fast. There's the possibility of leaving someone behind or using the wrong route, causing potentially costly delays. At Minibus Hire Newcastle, we provide group transport from one point to another in Newcastle and the entire North East region. Since 2012, we’ve provided reliable transport in Newcastle and the larger North East region and have been behind successful corporate air transfers from Newcastle International Airport (NCL), school group trips to the Life Science Centre, match-day entourages to St. James' Park, and weddings at the Willows at the Woodmans.

When asking for a quote it’s a good idea to let us know if any of the party are in need of a wheelchair space as this option is available in certain minibuses.

We operate 12 minibuses based in Newcastle and we use them throughout Newcastle and the North East including areas such as Gateshead, Gosforth, Wallsend, Cramlington and North Shields. Typical trips that our minibuses make are trips to Newcastle International Airport, the Life Science Centre, match days to St James’ Park and to local wedding venues. All of our Newcastle minibuses offer varying passenger capacities so giving us as much information about your trip (i.e. luggage space required, pick-up points and destinations, number of passengers travelling etc) will allow us to allocate the most suitable minibus for your trip.

We're proud to have a team of drivers that is passionate about helping travellers create good experiences, whether you're hiring a minibus for a charity event or planning a family fun day out. With Mr. Richards at the helm, our licensed and DBS-checked drivers have a deep understanding of Newcastle's traffic nuances, local routes, terraced streets, bridges, and neighbourhoods, making group transport straightforward.

Our fleet is made up of 12 modern, well-maintained minibuses from leading brands including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Toyota, and Peugeot. Each vehicle undergoes regular, manufacturer-recommended servicing and has passed MOT safety requirements. From 8-10 seater minibuses and 12-14 seater minibuses to 16-18 seater minibuses, we have vehicles for different occasions and group sizes, ensuring you get to your destination in comfort.
