What's cheaper - Minibus or Coach?

maguim

Hi. We're looking to book 4 day trip in June for a party of approx. 15 (mainly elderly) patrons. Going from Belfast to Fermanagh. We can get someone to drive a minibus but is this cheaper than hiring a coach with the driver do you know? Any idea how much?

Try Corrigans in Dungannon they do self drive mini buses.

In answer to your question I would think a minibus would be cheaper as you are supplying the driver, however, minibuses would be 15 or 17 seaters inc the driver so may be a bit cramped. If you had a small coach there would be a lot more space. Just my opinion.

Try pricing anyway to compare Comber Commercial Centre hire out very clean minibuses http://www.ccchire.co.uk/17seats.htm
and Lakeland Tours for the full package http://www.lakelandtours.co.uk/vehicle-hire.php

Will a minibus have sufficient space - 15 people plus their luggage, for a 4 day trip? I would think a small bus (25 seater) would be more suitable, allow larger people to have a double seat etc. More expensive I know, but a better experience for all.

It would depend if you needed the bus/minibus with you the whole time. If you only needed transport there and back the small coach would be the best bet as you would only be paying for a return trip, whereas the minibus would have to be hired for 4 days
