Alton is located in Staffordshire but close to Stoke so is a busy local travel hub. Whether you live, work or visit regularly we’d love to hear from you to arrange your minibus/coach hire. We’ve got a local touch that others simply can’t compete with and know the ins and outs of the best (and narrowest!) routes into and out of Alton.
Our minibus/coach hire service covers Alton village itself and all local areas in the ST10 postcode. Neighbouring villages are Oakamoor, Froghall, Farley and Denstone with popular visitor attractions Alton Towers Resort, Churnet Valley Railway, Tittesworth Reservoir, Waterworld and Biddulph Valley all local too!
We don’t just work in Alton village itself. If you are based in the local area we’ll be more than happy to collect you from your local train station (Uttoxeter or Stoke-on-Trent being the nearest). We’ll pick you up and drop you off exactly where you tell us be it your local village hall, a school, Alton Towers and even in your own drive (provided we can get the minibus/coach in!).
As with many areas minibus hire prices can vary wildly from company to company and unfortunately inflated quotes with loads of extras and hidden costs are common. We take a different approach and work hard to make sure all quotes we provide are tailored to suit and give our customers excellent value for money. As such the price a group could pay for a 16 seat minibus from Alton to Manchester Airport will be completely different to the quote a school could receive for a 50 seat coach for a day trip to Lichfield. Factors such as number of passengers, size of vehicle, journey length and mileage all contribute towards the final price.
If you’d like to find out more about using our local minibus hire from Alton service then give us a call or pop your details into our enquiry form to let us know more about your planned trip. All we need to be able to provide a quote is the date of your trip, a starting postcode and where you’re travelling too and roughly how many passengers will be travelling. We’ll then get back to you as soon as possible with a competitive quote.
All vehicles in our fleet are regularly serviced and checked daily before setting out on a trip to ensure we adhere to strict safety standards. All drivers have an enhanced DBS check to provide school trips with the reassurance they need. Punctuality is extremely important and our airport transfers take luggage requirements and flight times into consideration.
