Mini Bus Hire with Driver Across the UK – Safe, Affordable & On-Time

When it comes to planning group travel in the UK or across Europe, reliability, comfort, and value matter. Whether you're organising a corporate trip, school excursion, airport transfer, wedding, or a multi-city European tour, hiring a mini bus with a professional driver ensures your journey is safe, smooth, and stress-free.

At Express Route, we proudly serve customers not just throughout the UK, but across major cities in Europe, offering reliable, door-to-door group transportation with experienced drivers and fully equipped mini buses. From local day trips to extended journeys across borders, we make sure your group travels in comfort and arrives on time.

Why Choose Mini Bus Hire with Driver?

Hiring a mini bus with a driver is ideal for groups of 6 to 24 people looking for a dedicated transport solution. Unlike taxis or car shares, mini buses are tailored for:

• Group convenience: Everyone travels together

• Cost-efficiency: More economical than booking multiple cars

• Time savings: No waiting for trains or public transport

• Comfort and space: Plenty of luggage storage and legroom

• Professional navigation: Avoid getting lost or delayed

This transport model is widely preferred for events, business travel, educational trips, sports team transfers, sightseeing tours, and private hire across cities and borders.
