Hiring or chartering a bus can be an effective way to provide transport for a group of people:
- At the time when you want (not constrained by regular bus timetables)
- Where you want (you don't have to use normal bus routes)
- With as many seats as you need (there won't be any other passengers on the bus).
Most bus-hire companies are based in one region, though a few have several offices. But almost all companies are willing to travel to wherever you want to go. Click on a region-name to see a list of bus-charter companies based in that area:
