Minibus Hire Cardiff was founded in 2014 and has since become a trusted group transport provider in the Welsh capital. We do more than hire minibuses; the community in Cardiff and surroundings has come to depend on us for complex transportation logistics. From planning school trips to Techniquest down in Cardiff Bay, ferrying conference attendees from Cardiff Airport to Tramshed on the busy Pendyris Street, to chauffeuring a bridal entourage to the Botanist in the city center for a weekend shopping spree, our drivers have completed thousands of miles across Cardiff’s neighborhoods, giving us a deep understanding of the traffic conditions, best routes, and the city’s traffic regulations to make your travels seamless.
Led by Mr. Brown, our team of drivers is trained and continuously vetted. Each driver holds a valid Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) license and Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), and has undergone disability awareness training, ensuring that passengers with mobility issues are handled with care. Our professional chauffeurs also hold an up-to-date Disclosure and Barring (DBS) certificate and the nationally recognized Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme (MiDAS) which clears them to work with the elderly, children and any vulnerable members of our community
Our fleet of minibuses consists of 12 premium, 2023-2026 vehicles from trusted brands. Whether it's a high-end 12-14 seater Volkswagen Crafter for your corporate travel or an 8-seater Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for your family's city tour, we have an impressive selection from which to hire a minibus that caters to your travel needs.
