i know that when my family had to hire a minibus my mum contacted the limavady community development initiative maybe there is something similar in belfast. i know that the price was lower than commercial mini buses.

it's just an idea not sure if its relevant in this case

It was a few years ago but my son's school hired minibuses and drivers from Downpatrick Scouts for a trip as they were the best value in the area.

Down Community Transport, in Downpatrick will do private hire by the hour. I think the largest is a 16 seater which may not be big enough for you. I have used this service to get staff home from work dos, the number is 02844617900 good luck! For my wedding I hired the belfast Bus Company, but that was quite expensive in comparison.

Theres a local company in Lisburn called Lisburn Van hire, who have started hiring out mini buses, only thing is you'd need to find a willing driver as they dont provide this, only the bus!

Also along the same lines The council in Lisburn hire out buses without a driver, costs nothing but petrol refill. My mum uses them all the time for group outings and ends up costing maybe £20/£30 at most! (depending obviously on where you go) my grannys friend has also done this in the past and is by far the cheapest option as long as you have your own driver.

Try Shoreline, they're based down that neck of the woods (15, 24, 52 & 70+ seaters iirc)
