Contract & shuttle services
Contract coach hire and shuttle services
Beyond one-off hires, many businesses and public bodies need transport that runs on a schedule: a staff shuttle between a station and a business park, a park and ride for an event, replacement buses during rail engineering work, or a daily contract for a school or care provider. The platform connects you with operators who have the vehicles and the licences for this work.
Types of contract work
- Staff and employee shuttles for business parks, hospitals, airports and construction sites
- Event park and ride and shuttle loops for venues, festivals and exhibitions
- Rail replacement and planned disruption cover for train operators and local authorities
- Daily home-to-school and SEND transport contracts
- Hotel, campus and resort shuttles on a fixed timetable
- Standby and business continuity transport for emergencies
How contract enquiries work
Submit an enquiry describing the route, the timetable, the start and end dates and the expected passenger numbers. Operators within range quote a rate per day, per week or per journey and set out the vehicles they would allocate. For larger contracts you can shortlist several operators and ask for a site visit or trial period before committing.
Because operators are matched on location, you get quotes from companies whose depots are close to the route, which keeps dead mileage and cost down and makes early starts reliable.
Managed services for larger programmes
For programmes that need multiple operators, live monitoring and a single point of contact, we can coordinate the supply on your behalf. Describe the requirement in your enquiry and we will contact you to scope it. This service is priced separately from standard marketplace quotes.

FAQ
Contract & shuttle services: your questions answered
Can operators invoice monthly for contract work?
Yes. Payment terms for contracts are agreed directly with the operator and monthly invoicing is standard.
Do operators have the right licences for rail replacement?
Operators holding a standard national or international PSV licence can run rail replacement services. Confirm the requirement in your enquiry.
Can you cover short-notice disruption?
Operators with spare capacity respond to urgent enquiries, but availability varies. For planned standby cover, agree a retainer with an operator in advance.

Corporate & business
Conference shuttles, staff transport, client hospitality and company away days.
Businesses use the platform for everything from a single executive minibus for a client visit to a fleet of coaches shuttling delegates between hotels and a conference venue. You get a fixed price from a vetted operator, an invoice from a VAT-registered company, and a driver who turns up in a clean vehicle on time.
