Top Tips for Affordable Coach Hire for School Trips in the UK
Planning a school trip can be exciting yet daunting, especially when trying to manage a budget. At Last Minute Travel, we understand the intricacies involved in organizing transport for large groups. As the UK's foremost provider of transport hire with a driver, we offer a wide range of vehicles, including coaches, minibuses, party buses, limos, novelty vehicles, luxury chauffeur cars, wedding cars, and an array of luxury and prestige car models. Here's how you can make coach hire affordable for school trips.
Plan Early
One of the most effective ways to secure affordable coach hire is by planning early. Early booking not only ensures availability but often comes with discounts. This is particularly true when dealing with high-demand vehicles like our Mercedes V-Class, luxury coaches, and novelty vehicles.
Compare Prices
It's crucial to compare prices from various providers. While we at Last Minute Travel pride ourselves on our competitive rates, it's always wise to survey the market. Our extensive range of vehicles, from coaches and minibuses to wedding cars and party buses, ensures we have something for every budget.
Consider Off-Peak Travel
Travelling during off-peak times can significantly reduce costs. Avoid peak seasons like summer holidays or festive periods. Our diverse selection, including Rolls Royce, Bentley, limos, party buses, and classic cars, ensures you have plenty of options even during less busy times.
Opt for Standard Models
While luxury options like the Maybach, S Class, and V-Class are tempting, opting for standard models can be more budget-friendly. However, rest assured, our standard coaches and minibuses still provide comfort and reliability without breaking the bank.
Group Discounts
Many transport providers, including us, offer group discounts for school trips. The larger the group, the more you might save. Don’t hesitate to ask about discounts when booking our extensive range of stretch limousines, including Hummer, Chrysler, and American Lincoln Town Car limousines.
Ask About Packages
Some providers offer package deals that include not just transport but also tickets to attractions, meals, and more. At Last Minute Travel, we can tailor packages to suit your needs, ensuring you get the best value, whether you're hiring a minibus, party bus, or any of our luxury cars.
