Your journey, properly planned
A good group journey starts with the right details. Put your route, passenger numbers and timings in one place.
- 01
Your group
Count everyone travelling, including organisers. Tell us about luggage, equipment and any particular travel requirements so we can discuss the right arrangements.
- 02
Your route
Add the exact pickup addresses in the order you would like to visit them, followed by your destination. Share any access instructions you already have.
- 03
Your timings
Choose a departure time or an arrival deadline. For a return journey, give the collection time and tell us whether you want the coach to wait or return later.
Planning this journey
Build the plan around the whole travelling day, not just the time you want to reach the destination. Give us each pickup address, your passenger total and any fixed arrival deadline. Include luggage and equipment requirements alongside the route.
For longer journeys, share your preferred comfort stops and any booked meal or attraction times. Our team needs the full itinerary to assess driving time, practical stopping points and driver arrangements. A map journey time alone is not a confirmed coach schedule.
Use the estimator for a straightforward journey, or send the complete itinerary as a tailored enquiry. Our team confirms the route, coach access, timings and vehicle availability before booking.
An arrival deadline you can plan around
Work backwards from the activity that cannot move: a sailing, event, hotel check-in or appointment. Tell us the actual deadline and the time passengers need to be ready after arrival. Keep optional sightseeing separate from essential stops so we can discuss a workable schedule rather than squeeze everything into an unrealistic day.
The return journey matters too
If the group is coming home on a different date, give the return collection address and time separately. Confirm whether the same people and luggage travel both ways. For an overnight or multi-day itinerary, send the day-by-day movements to our team so driver and accommodation requirements can be discussed before the journey is confirmed.

Good to know.
A few answers before you set off.
How many people can travel on a coach?
Each coach has up to 53 passenger seats. For larger groups, the estimate builder calculates the additional coaches needed. Tell us about luggage and any particular travel requirements so our team can confirm the arrangements.
How do I get a coach hire estimate?
Use the estimate calculator on this page. Enter your passenger numbers, travel date, pickup points, destination and timings, then choose your journey arrangement. You can save your journey and send an enquiry to our team.
Can we have more than one pickup?
Yes. Add the pickup points in the estimate builder in the order you would like to visit them. The proposed schedule allows boarding time at each pickup. Our team checks the practical arrangements before confirming the journey.
Is the coach booked when I send an enquiry?
Sending an enquiry does not reserve a coach. We email a copy to you and our team, who check coach access, timings and availability before confirming your quote.
Can I save the journey and share it with passengers?
Save your private journey link to return to your plan and follow your enquiry. The calculator also provides a passenger itinerary without prices or contact details. Keep your private journey link for the organiser.
What if my journey needs a different arrangement?
Use the tailored enquiry form in the calculator for a different return route, multiple destinations or a journey it does not cover. Include your full route, dates, passenger numbers and preferred timings so our team can help.
