History and genealogy lovers must mount a trip to Bloxwich (pronounced Blockswitch), a small market town of about 25,000 residents in the Metropolitan Borough of Walsall, West Midlands, England. The town name, meaning Bloc’s Village, received its first historical mention in the Domesday Book, published in 1086, according to Walsall Council. In ancient times, it formed part of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia, and in 1162, the Manor of Walsall referred to Bloxwich as part of the “Foreign of Walsall.” Many people trace their lines back to this ancient town, best known as a center of trade via canal and for its coal mining and iron smelting. It retains its rural charm while moving firmly into the 21st century.
Visit Bloxwich in a full-sized coach bus to efficiently transport attendees of your corporate training, convention, or conference for a day of nature, history, and English culture. Perhaps you’re planning a family and need to transport your clan from the hotel to various outings. Let the iCoach Hire platform help you find a full-sized coach bus with driver. Our platform hosts some of England’s top coach and minibus firms, so you can easily hire transportation that seats 35 or 49 individuals.
Hiring a coach bus lets everyone travel in the same vehicle, which makes it simpler to ensure everyone stays together. It also saves your group money since you don’t have to hire multiple SUVs or vans.
Many coaches offer WiFi and reclining seats with built-in USB ports. Some buses have onboard water closets providing comfort and convenience. Coach buses feature portrait windows that let travelers enjoy the passing landscapes as they motor to their ultimate destination.
Vacationing families or small community groups mounting a field trip may want to hire a smaller bus. Our platform also offers minibus companies, so you can hire a minibus seating up to 16 that you drive. United Kingdom law allows individuals aged 21 years or older with a valid driver’s license maintained for at least two years to operate a minibus seating up to 16 people for non-commercial purposes. Even if you visit England from the United States, Poland, or France, you can use iCoach Hire to book a self-drive minibus while you visit Bloxwich. The bus lines on our platform offer the following sizes of minibus for hire without driver included:
• 7-seater
• 8-seater
• 14-seater
• 16-seater.
You can also book a minibus for hire with driver through iCoach Hire.
Minibuses seating 19 people require hiring a driver, but many visitors want someone else to drive the minibus so they can enjoy the scenery and the opportunity to visit with the other people on the trip. When you leave the driving to someone else, you relieve yourself of the stress of finding your way in a strange area and enjoy a British tour guide familiar with Bloxwich history and events. Schedule your minibus hire with driver today using iCoach Hire.
Every transportation firm using iCoach Hire complies with United Kingdom fleet maintenance and insurance laws. Minibuses or coach buses rented through our platform provide a safe means of travel. Count on charter bus firms on our platform for professional commercial bus drivers with valid United Kingdom commercial driving licenses.
We know you don’t have to hire a minibus every day, so we recommend focusing on four important criteria when picking your minibus or coach bus hire.
Vehicle range: The vehicle range determines how frequently you need to stop for petrol or to charge an electric vehicle’s battery.
Reputation: A firm builds its reputation on its treatment of customers and the transportation it provides.
Pricing: Prices vary slightly by firm location and amenities. Consider the amenities you obtain for the price quoted and how the price of similar rentals compares.
Insurance: Each bus company must comply with United Kingdom insurance laws, maintaining a commercial auto insurance policy.
We think it helps to know the typical range of rental pricing, so iCoach Hire provides a general guide to minibus rental.
At iCoach Hire, we have no hidden fees, but your final cost to hire a minibus will differ from this guide because the pricing information does not include England’s value-added tax (VAT) or the hourly fee for driver hire, which we cover next.

minivan: Starting from £368/day
mid-size coach: Starting from £563/day
