Our minibus hire service is local to Tamworth, however we cover the majority of the local villages and towns including Polesworth, Glascote, Wilnecote, Dordon etc. Effectively anywhere within the B77 and B78 postcodes.
Our diary is full of all sorts, from taking The Castle Academy on curriculum days out, Cardinal Newman Catholic School on drama and music tours, we regularly travel with Tamworth Rugby Club to away fixtures, community groups in Polesworth regularly hire our larger coaches for summer trips. We travel to all sorts of events; days out at theme parks, concerts, weddings, corporate days, school days out...you name it, chances are we’ve taken a group there!
Again, all sorts really! Popular collection points for our trips seem to be Tamworth station, the SnowDome car park, the castle, various schools, the rugby club etc. The attractions are close by too - Tamworth Castle is less than half a mile from the centre of town, the SnowDome is about 2 miles away, Drayton Manor Resort is 3 miles away, Arbury Hall is about 5 miles away, Twycross zoo is 8 miles...
There’s loads to do within an hour of travelling too if you fancy something a bit different. Birmingham airport is only around 20 miles away from Tamworth, so is a popular trip with our 18 seater minibus hire or full-size coach hire services, East Midlands airport is only about 30 miles away and even Manchester is only 60 miles away.

If you know how many people are in your group and roughly where you’d like to start and finish, we can usually suggest whether a small minibus would be adequate or maybe a full sized coach would be better. For instance; 17 people to Birmingham airport is probably an 18 seater job (particularly if everyone has a suitcase each!).
If we were collecting at Tamworth Castle we’d need to get the coach parked in advance as some of the older, tighter streets aren’t suitable for our larger 50 seaters.
Likewise, if we were picking people up in various locations around Glascote and Polesworth we’d need to agree a sensible route to collect everyone with a plan to bring them back on the return journey, all agreed from the off. Trips to the airports we plan around flight times allowing extra for loading lots of cases etc.
If you’d like us to send you a quote please give us a call, alternatively you can use the online minibus hire enquiry form. Date, collection postcode, where you’d like to go and roughly how many people will give us a good starting point. Let us know if there’s lots of cases or pushchairs to fit, or you need a wheelchair step board, anything really really!
All hire companies price journeys differently but, at Minibus Hire Stafford, we take into account the mileage, the length of the hire, the number of passengers, the size of minibus, coach or bus required, how long we need to wait around and whether the vehicle needs to stay out overnight. Essentially a 16 seater setting off at 6am to Birmingham airport is not going to cost the same as a coach waiting at Drayton Manor from 10am to 6pm!
We like to add any extras on first time so there are no nasty surprises when we tell you the final cost later on.
We have a couple of accessible minibuses which can be used locally so please let us know if you need one.
All our drivers are fully PCV entitled and Driver CPC valid, where we drive schools or groups of children we also hold an enhanced DBS check. All vehicles are regularly serviced and checked each day before collection.
