Recommendations for Good & Cheap Coach Hire?

EdinburghWolf

Hi there, I run Edinburgh's American Football team and because of the nature of our sport we have to travel across the UK regularly. Sadly we are a self funding team (all of our funds come from our players + the rare fund raiser).

When we travel we normally travel by coach - we had been using a company over in Hamilton who previously had been very good for us but over the years the prices have crept up. So we decided it was time we sourced locally in Edinburgh and Lothians. Since we don't have a lot of cash our aim is to land a good coach company (buses must have a loo) but a very competitive price.

We've got a game coming up where we have to travel to Hull and I'm hoping some of you can give us some recommendations.

While I'm here if anyone has any advice on how to raise/save money for a club we are all ears! Part of the team are fed up paying Edinburgh prices for the costs of training, pitch hire etc.

P.S. While this is my first post I have been reading the forum for ages! So thanks for all the tip offs I've picked up before!

Have you got a team sponsor?

My work(Michelin) sponsor Texol All stars ice hockey team in Dundee, so it's feasible you'd manage to get a sponsor in a bigger place like Edinburgh.Especially when you're travelling the length of the country with their names on your shirts.

Sponsorship is something we have been trying to land but it is proven difficult as we are in a tough sports market in Edinburgh - plenty of Rugby clubs and non professional Soccer clubs make it difficult to get your voice heard.

I have found GEM coaches (although in Hamilton) good in the past.

If you are still hunting in the dark for the most appropriate coach operators job, then your journey has finally come to an end. Ironically, the solution was sitting right at your doorstep and you simply overlooked it. At coachhiremarket dot co dot uk coach operators from all across the the United Kingdom have a first hand opportuinity to offer their bids at competitive prices. In order to avail what you rightfully deserve, you simply need to join in and pick your cherry from the pie.

As it's over 3& a half years old I'd hope the OP had found somewhere by now.
