What 8 seater minibus hire with driver means

An 8 seater has 8 passenger seats plus the driver’s seat. It sits at the top of our 4–8 seater band and at the start of the 8–16 seater minibus range. It suits a group that has outgrown a car but does not need a 12 seater or a coach.

Tell us how many people are travelling and what luggage they are bringing. We will confirm whether an 8 seater has room, or whether a larger minibus is the better fit. We do not quote a luggage allowance for this size until the operator confirms the vehicle.

Smaller groups can use the 4–8 seater band. If you might be more than 8, ask for a 12 seater minibus from the start.

When an 8 seater minibus may suit your group

This size is usually worth considering when your group is about 8 people and you want one vehicle with a driver.

What to tell us so we can quote accurately

Number of passengers, not the vehicle size you think you need.

  • Pick-up address, destination, and any extra stops.
  • Date, pick-up time, and whether you need a return or the driver to wait.
  • Luggage, and any access needs, so we can check a suitable vehicle is available before anything is booked.
