Coach Hire Rugby
What do jet engines and the sport of rugby have in common? The invention of both things occurred in Rugby, a mid-sized town of about 78,000 residents outside London, England. Located in eastern Warwickshire, this market town offers tourists unique and exciting experiences, including ancient ruins and the rugby museum, according to The Rugby Town Guide. The Roman Empire not only visited Rugby, it founded a village, Tripontium, and constructed two roads here, today called the Fosse Way and Watling Street. The Domesday Book, published in1086, notes Rugby’s existence. In 1255, it received its market charter, which stands today, making it an important borough within Warwickshire.
It’s no wonder so many tourists want to visit Rugby but pre-planned tours don’t provide ample time for visitors to delve into their favorite pastimes in this ancient London area town. Instead, visitors rely on iCoach Hire to locate private coach hire or minibus hire with driver or self-driven. Use the iCoach Hire platform to compare prices, obtain service quotes, and book your minibus.
Large groups benefit from full-sized bus rentals. The coach companies on the iCoach platform rent two sizes coach buses for travel, buses with 35 or 49 seats. Whether you plan a conference, convention, or corporate trip, large coaches such as these provide comfortable travel with room to stretch out and reclining seats. Some buses of this size come with on-board WiFi, USB charging ports at each seat, and water closet facilities. Every full-sized coach bus rental includes a professional driver because United Kingdom law requires a commercial bus driver’s license to operate these vehicles.
Small groups of seven to 19 individuals may benefit from renting a minibus through the iCoach platform. Families on vacation, community clubs, classroom field trips, church youth groups, and youth sports teams may find minibuses a convenient way to transport their group, keep track of everyone, and save money by renting one vehicle instead of many. The Icoach Hire platform offers five sizes of minibus:
• 7-seat vehicle
• 8-seat vehicle
• 14-seat vehicle
• 16-seat vehicle
• 19-seat vehicle.
The individual renting a mini-bus with up to 16 seats can legally drive it themselves as long as they’ve had their driver’s license for at least two years and they’re age 21 years or older. Hiring a 19-seat minibus requires hiring a driver, too.
Hiring a bus with 19 seats or more means hiring a driver, as well. Your driver also serves as a tour guide in and around Rugby, a designated driver, and a helpful source of local information. The iCoach Hire platform also offers bookings for minibuses and buses with drivers.
Charter buses in England comply with national standards of upkeep. Companies offering charters through iCoach Hire rent safe vehicles that undergo regular fleet maintenance.
Great Britain’s charter coach firms also provide the highest-quality professional coach drivers. Chauffeurs you hire using the iCoach Hire platform maintain a valid UK commercial driver’s license.
With so many of Britain’s top coach companies using iCoach Hire, how do pick your minibus or coach provider? Consider four key factors in your choice:
Vehicle range: For petrol buses, the size of the petrol tank and the mileage per liter determine its range. For electric minibuses and coaches, the battery charge determines this. Vehicle range determines how frequently you’ll need to top up on fuel.
Reputation: Check the reviews of each coach provider on respected review websites. Choose one that consumers say provides clean, well-maintained buses and friendly customer service.
Pricing: In most cases, little variation on costs exists between same-sized minibuses with amenities. You might find a firm that’s running a special, though.
Insurance: Every bus company should carry liability insurance on each vehicle and insurance on its commercial fleet.
If you just need to build a budget for your future trip, consider our general vehicle rental pricing guide.
