Acton, meaning Oak Town, dates back to prehistoric Britain, although its first text mention came in 1181 when mentioned in ancient texts as a rural settlement on Uxbridge Road that featured many inns, according to British History. Acton’s popularity with tourists has grown since then, but this town in Middlesex remains well-known for its expansive greens, bustling market, and local cuisine. One of the many can’t-miss towns to explore while in England, see them all at your leisure using the iCoach Hire platform to plan your custom English tour. Whether you need a minibus hire with driver or a private coach hire, the iCoach Hire platform offers the ideal way to find it because you can plan your tour, compare prices, get quotes, and hire your minibus or coach bus.
A full-sized coach bus can seat 35 or 49 individuals, depending on the bus you book. Conference and convention planners find these coaches for hire handy for field trips and custom city tours. Corporate trainers use them for transporting people to team building exercises. Rather than renting many vans or SUVs, rent a coach bus to transport your group in a luxury coach.
Enjoy onboard amenities like reclining seats, built-in restrooms, USB ports at each seat, and WiFi. Using iCoach Hire, you can compare rental options, including the cost of hiring a professional bus driver. In England, only those with a commercial bus driver’s license can legally operate buses seating 17 or more individuals.
Your smaller group of 16 individuals or fewer can enjoy a minibus rental that you drive yourself. Many companies using iCoach Hire also rent self-drive minibuses seating between seven and 16 individuals. Families on vacation enjoy using these convenient minibuses as do community clubs, and schools hosting field trips. Using SUVs or vans divides the group, but a single minibus makes it easy to keep a headcount. It also saves you money since you only rent one vehicle. The companies on the iCoach Hire platform offer four self-drive minibus sizes:
• 7 seats
• 8 seats
• 14 seats
• 16 seats.
According to English law, any individual aged 21 or older with a valid driver’s license they’ve maintained for at least two years can operate a mini-bus seating up to 16 individuals for personal purposes. If you need a minibus that seats up to 19 individuals, we offer that, but you’ll need to hire a driver.
Companies using the iCoach Hire platform also offer minibusses that seat up to 19 people. Although this size minibus legally requires a professional driver, many people choose to hire a bus driver for smaller minibuses, too. Doing so takes the stress of driving in an unknown area away. England’s coach bus lines employ commercial bus drivers who know Acton well, so they act as a tour guide, too. Book your minibus or coach bus with driver today using iCoach Hire.
Every company using the iCoach Hire platform conforms to United Kingdom laws concerning fleet maintenance and insurance. The firms offering minibuses and coaches for hire through our web platform provide safe and ideally maintained transports. Enjoy your trip knowing that these UK charter bus companies employ professional commercial bus drivers who maintain valid UK commercial chauffeur driving licenses specific to the vehicle sizes they operate.
How do you choose from many high-quality companies? The iCoach Hire platform makes it easy to vet coach and minibus rental companies. We recommend focusing on four main factors:
Vehicle range: Whether you hire a minibus or coach bus powered by petrol or electricity, you’ll need to know how far it can go once topped up.
Reputation: Reading reviews of each company lets you know which firms offer the cleanest vehicles, the friendliest drivers, and the highest-quality customer service.
Pricing: Using the iCoach Hire platform makes it simple to compare prices for same-sized minibuses, coach buses, and hiring a driver.
Insurance: By law, each operating commercial firm renting buses must carry commercial automotive insurance. Check each company’s insurance papers.
Every rental varies in price because different buses offer different amenities, seat a different number of people, and take a different route. The iCoach Hire platform offers a general pricing guide for estimating trip budgets.
The iCoach Hire service covers all of England, so we offer this average price guide. We have no hidden fees. These per-day price estimates include the vehicle rental only before the national value-added tax (VAT). We cover the average cost of hiring a driver next.
