8 seater minibus hire with driver
An 8 seater is the smallest vehicle on the platform and the right choice for a family, a small team or a group of friends who want one vehicle and one driver rather than two taxis. Operators run high-roof minibuses and large people carriers in this class.
When an 8 seater is right
For groups of five to eight an 8 seater is cheaper than two taxis and far more comfortable, and the price is fixed in advance. Luggage space is the limiting factor: eight people with large suitcases may need a 12 seater or a trailer, so mention luggage in your enquiry.
Pricing is simple at this size. Expect £120 to £200 for a local airport transfer and £250 to £380 for a full day, excluding VAT, with evening and early-morning supplements where they apply.
Ideal for
- Airport transfers for families
- Small corporate groups
- Nights out and restaurant trips
- Golf and activity days
