Minibus And Coach Hire Exeter

Bring your group to Exeter for a campus visit, a match or a day with family. Your hire includes the driver and a private minibus or coach for the journeys around your plans.

Hire a Minibus And Coach In Exeter With a Driver

A visit to an Exeter university campus rarely runs to the same timetable as a wedding or a day beside the Exe. We provide private minibus and coach hire with a driver, so families, schools, colleagues and community groups can arrange transport around the occasion. We can bring visitors into Exeter, collect a group from several agreed points in the city or take everyone onwards across Devon.

For smaller groups, you can check our minibuses that are suitable for carrying 9 to 25 passengers, whereas large groups can consider our coaches, which carry 29 to 77 passengers. Every vehicle offered has necessary amenities in working condition. We consider bags, school materials, mobility aids and other equipment alongside the headcount, because a full vehicle may still need enough room for what everyone brings. The route can cover one transfer, a later return or several stages of a longer stay.

The driver holds the entitlement appropriate to the vehicle and a valid Driver CPC where required. Journeys use the applicable passenger transport licence, and vehicles have the required testing and insurance, with planned maintenance, safety inspections and checks before use. On a longer trip such as Exeter to London, Manchester, Birmingham or any other long-distance route, we account for the driving-hours rules when working out travel and break times. If the route extends into London, we will check the vehicle offered against the relevant ULEZ or LEZ requirements and explain any applicable charge.

Tell us the destinations and timings that are fixed, along with the number of people and what they will bring. We can then confirm a suitable vehicle and quote for the Exeter journey as a whole.

Streatham, St Luke's and Visits to the University

A University of Exeter visit can mean two different parts of the city. Streatham is the university's larger Exeter campus, while St Luke's is on Heavitree Road, east of the centre. For an open day, visiting delegation or student group, the actual building and campus determine the transfer. If the programme covers both, we can include the journey between them.

Families coming for a graduation or a visit to a student may want travel from Exeter St David's to accommodation, then onwards to campus and a meal afterwards. A small party can ask about a 12-seater minibus, with the passenger capacity and space for bags checked for the proposed vehicle. The hire can cover just the transfers you need, leaving time with family in between.

For conferences and working visits, our corporate travel can connect the station, hotel, campus or workplace. A team attending several meetings needs transport timed around the agenda, including any return to the station. Presentation cases and equipment belong in the vehicle plan alongside the delegates.

Exeter Central can also be a convenient arrival point for a visit in the centre, particularly near RAMM on Queen Street. Tell us which station your train uses. We agree to a pickup for the booked vehicle and allow time for everyone to leave the platform and reach it.

Rugby at Sandy Park and Football at St James Park

An Exeter Chiefs men's match needs a return plan that takes account of Sandy Park's published controls. The venue does not permit private or taxi pickups during the first hour after the final whistle. We plan an on-site collection after that window, with the agreed hire allowing for the group's post-match arrangements. If you intend to stay for hospitality, the return can be timed for when your party wants to leave.

Exeter City supporters head to St James Park on Stadium Way, close to the centre. For a group coming from elsewhere in Devon, an agreed collection route can bring everyone to the game, with a meeting point for the return that suits the vehicle. We plan the football journey around the fixture and your party's departure plans.

Private sports travel also takes Exeter supporters to away fixtures and carries teams to matches or tournaments. For a playing squad, count the staff and accompanying adults as well as the players, and include the kit. A 16-seater minibus may suit a smaller team; a coach may be needed for a larger party or more equipment.

South Street, Queen Street and a Visit to the Centre

A Cathedral tour, a museum visit and time for shopping can fit into the same Exeter outing. Where the party starts helps determine the arrival point. Exeter Cathedral identifies South Street for coach drop-off and pick-up, a short walk from the building, while the coach parks separately at Haven Banks. If you had hoped to board at the Cathedral door, we will make the South Street meeting point clear before travel and discuss any need for a shorter walk.

For the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery, RAMM's visitor guidance identifies the nearest coach drop-off on Queen Street outside Exeter Central station. A class or history group starting at the museum can arrive there rather than begin at the Cathedral end of the centre. Queen Street is one-way, so the vehicle movements need to follow the permitted route.

Our school trip transport can cover a RAMM learning visit, a Cathedral session or a day combining the two. The arrival should leave time for pupils and adults to get from the vehicle to their session. For a whole class, a coach can keep the group together; smaller study parties may need a minibus. We check the complete passenger total, including helpers, and any materials travelling with them.

A social group may choose to spend the rest of the visit independently, then meet for a shared return. If the party wants to finish at a different place, that can be included in the itinerary. Anyone who needs a shorter walk can discuss the arrival and collection with us. Wheelchair accessible hire depends on the appropriate vehicle, boarding arrangements and seating layout, which we confirm for the journey.

Quayside Lunches, Club Outings and Devon Days

The Quayside gives an Exeter outing a focus beside the River Exe. A group might come for lunch, spend time on the waterfront or take a walk before gathering for the ride home. It can also be the final part of a day that began at RAMM or the Cathedral. We can include a transfer between areas where that helps the people travelling.

For a club, choir, faith group or community association, the outing may be as simple as a meal together. One collection and a later return can be enough. A series of visits on different dates can also be quoted, with each day's transport matched to the places and people involved.

Beyond Exeter, a day in Torquay or a visit to Plymouth gives the group another choice. You may want one main destination with several hours there, or a route with a lunch stop and a second visit. The quote covers the outing's journeys, stops and time at each destination, including the return.

Trips towards Newton Abbot, Tiverton or Honiton can be for a family visit, a performance, a fixture or a private event. People joining from those places can also be included in an Exeter-bound enquiry. Collections through surrounding towns add to the journey, so the plan needs to account for those stops as well as the destination.

Guests Staying in Exeter for a Celebration

A wedding at Powderham Castle can bring people into Exeter even when the celebration itself is outside the city. Guests may need a transfer from their accommodation to the venue and another journey home after the reception. Our wedding transport can connect those arrangements, with the pickup times planned around the ceremony and the guests attending.

An anniversary, birthday or reunion can include relatives arriving by train, local friends meeting at a house and visitors staying for the weekend. We can quote a route that brings them together for the occasion. Where the group has different plans afterwards, an earlier return or separate destination can be included from the start.

Minibus options generally range from 9 to 25 seats. For a larger guest list, coach hire offers sizes from 29 to 77 seats. The usable passenger capacity is confirmed for the actual vehicle, with luggage and any access layout included in the choice. A short celebration transfer and a party carrying weekend cases may need different amounts of storage.

Funeral transport can also be arranged for relatives attending a service and reception in or around Exeter. We plan the journeys in the order your family needs, including collections from accommodation and the return afterwards, so visitors have a shared way to travel on the day.

Exeter Airport Arrivals and Longer Airport Runs

Our Exeter Airport transfers can bring a visiting group to its city accommodation or take the party onwards to another Devon destination. The airport journey may be the first part of a longer stay, followed by separate trips to a wedding, campus or family gathering. We can quote those journeys together, with the required collection times for each.

The arrival transfer carries what people have brought for the whole stay, even if later outings only involve day bags. Include suitcases, cabin bags, pushchairs and any sports or mobility equipment when describing the airport party. We confirm a vehicle with suitable passenger places and storage, taking account of whether you will stop at accommodation before the day's other visits.

For a flight from Bristol Airport or Heathrow, we can arrange a longer transfer starting in Exeter. The departure plan is based on the time you need to reach the airport, with the road journey and agreed collections built around it. For an arriving flight, we agree the meeting arrangements and onward destinations before travel.

For a Bristol or Heathrow run, decide which facilities your group needs for the time on board. Colleagues may want charging points, while an onboard toilet can matter to a party facing a longer road journey. We confirm which requested facilities are available on the vehicle quoted, including standard amenities. Planned comfort stops, waiting allowances and any airport parking charges should be clear in the quote.

Exeter Transport Questions

We plan for the actual destinations at Streatham and St Luke's, including a transfer between them where required. Share the buildings or meeting points and the times for each part of the visit. We can include station or hotel journeys too, then confirm the transport and price for that itinerary.

The Chiefs' published guidance does not permit private or taxi pickups during the first hour after the final whistle at men's matches. We plan an on-site return after that period and agree the collection time with you. Include any hospitality or other post-match plans when requesting the hire.

They are separate. The Cathedral identifies South Street for coach drop-off and pick-up, a short walk from the building, while Haven Banks is the coach parking location. Your party's arrival and return meeting points are agreed as part of the hire, alongside the driver's parking arrangements.

Yes, you can request a transfer from Exeter Airport to the accommodation where the group is staying. Give us the destination, flight details, passenger numbers and luggage, including any larger items. We will confirm a suitable vehicle and the agreed collection arrangements for the quoted journey.

Send us the dates and an outline of each outing, with the expected group size and destinations. We check availability and price the journeys required on those dates. Each date can have its own route, passenger count and vehicle requirement.

Let Us Price the Exeter Journeys You Have in Mind

A useful quote reflects the whole hire: the vehicle, dates, distance, collection route and time needed for stops or waiting. The minibus hire price guide explains what affects the cost. We can compare a direct transfer with a longer itinerary, or a minibus with a suitable coach, using your group's actual plans.

Start with where the party will meet, where it is going, the date and passenger numbers. Add the important arrival times, luggage and any return journey. A quotation does not hold a vehicle for you. We confirm the booking after the hire is accepted and the required deposit or payment is made, under the terms and conditions.

Whether Exeter is your destination, your meeting place or the beginning of a Devon trip, send us the journey you want for the group. We will check the appropriate transport for your dates and prepare a personalised price for the agreed hire.
