Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of coach hire comparison in Newcastle?

There are several benefits of coach hire comparison, which refers to the process of comparing different coach hire options before making a decision. Some of the main benefits include:

 

  1. Cost savings: One of the primary benefits of coach hire comparison is cost savings. By comparing different coach hire options, you can get a better understanding of the prices offered by different providers and choose the one that offers the best value for money. This can help you save money and stay within your budget.

  2. Choice and flexibility: Coach hire comparison allows you to explore different options and choose the one that best suits your needs.

This gives you greater choice and flexibility in selecting a coach hire option that matches your requirements.

  3. Quality assurance: Coach hire comparison also helps you assess the quality of service offered by different providers.

This ensures that you select a reputable and reliable coach hire provider, giving you peace of mind during your journey.

What factors affect my Newcastle coach hire quote?

There are many factors involved in quoting the hire price of a coach, including;

  • Distance of your journey (mileage and fuel costs)

  • The number of passengers travelling and the size of the coach required

  • The time of day/year you are travelling (with demand and pricing increasing in the summer)

  • The number of pick-up/drop-off locations you need, and the distance between them.

  • Number of drivers needed (if a long distance)

Whilst every coach journey is different, our comparison service ensures you'll find the best price no matter your journey.

 

What types of training do the drivers undertake?

In the UK, coach drivers need to complete training for a Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) licence and the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC Driver). To start training with a company they must also be aged at least 18, and hold a full EU driving licence and be aged at least 18. Full details on coach and bus driver requirements can be viewed on Gov.uk. 

 

What are the benefits of comparing coach prices in Newcastle?

Pricing up a coach hire can be tricky. With so many variables affecting the price of hiring a coach (from location, duration, mileage, coach types… and many more), comparing offers from multiple agents can help ensure you get the best deal. With real quotes from leading coach hire companies, Compare My Coach is the perfect solution.

 

Can you facilitate more than one pick up location?

Of course. Our providers may have different ways of providing this service, but multiple pick ups is a very common request and is easily facilitated. 


 

Does my coach come with any additional features?

Depending on your journey you may wish to consider the additional features your coach carries. If it’s a long journey, you may wish to inquire about toilet facilities. If you’re booking for a wedding you may want your coach adorned with ribbon. TVs, Playstations, leather seating are all options for your coach journey, and our operators are able to facilitate most requests.


 

What is storage capacity like on my Coach?

It’s important to know how much luggage you can take with you, especially if you’re staying overnight or travelling longer distances.  Coaches tend to have large storage capacities underneath the vehicle, but it is worth asking your operator before booking your trip if you have special requirements.


 

What type of coaches do you have in Newcastle?

Our coach operators come in all sizes, from national coach companies to smaller, family run businesses. The coaches each has will vary, and could include;

 

  • 16 seat minibus

  • 40 seat single deck bus

  • 49 seat coach

  • 53 seat coach

  • 55 seat Vintage bus
