If you have never chartered a coach before then there are probably some terms and perhaps words that you might not be aware of.
Here at CoachHire our expert booking agents will be happy to explain any terminology that you are not sure of. But to help you along we have collated some frequently asked questions that crop up on a regular basis.
What is the difference between a coach and a bus?
The basic difference between a bus and a coach is the comfort levels and storage space. A coach comes with storage space for luggage, has individual seats, and other safety features and amenities for an improved transport experience. Buses are much more basic, and as such only really used for very short trips with higher passenger numbers, these do not offer any luggage space and have bench-style seating.
How much does it cost to charter a coach?
A minibus hire or coach charter trip is calculated based on certain criteria which include; the mileage of the route, type of vehicle, driver’s fees, and length of charter
Simply let our team know what you are planning and we will be able to provide you with a cost-effective solution.
Does the hire cost include the driver?
Some charter companies include the driver’s cost but others do not. When booking ensure you have an all encompassing quote that covers absolutely everything.
You will be glad to know that when we quote it includes everything, there are never any hidden extras.
When is the final payment due?
Standard terms and conditions for most coach operators is that payment must be made in full, fourteen days before the date of hire. However, it is possible to open an account with some companies so payment terms can change.
