Group travel support and essential checks
Ask for the hire vehicle to be delivered to and collected from an eligible UK mainland home or workplace address.
The address, access, timing and vehicle must be confirmed. Stations, airports and ports are excluded from standard delivery, as are empty properties where the customer is not registered. Failed, changed or specialist arrangements can incur charges.
Unlimited mileage is offered on eligible rentals within a 2,800-mile fair-use allowance per calendar month or 28-day period, or pro rata.
Excess miles are charged per mile plus VAT, and higher-mileage terms for company rentals can be arranged in advance. Unlimited mileage does not apply to courier use, which is prohibited.
Delivery and collection can be checked for eligible local and long-distance vehicle-hire requests across the UK mainland.
The exact postcode, requested vehicle and date must be checked. Islands and non-mainland movements can require separate arrangements.
Eligible vehicles may be taken to approved European destinations when permission, insurance and breakdown cover are arranged before departure.
Charges, deposits, documents, vehicle restrictions and country rules apply. One-way hire is limited to UK mainland postcodes, so European one-way hire is not offered.
Selected vehicles can be requested for collection from a different eligible UK mainland location, avoiding an unnecessary return journey.
The start and finish postcodes, vehicle, route and one-way charge must be confirmed before booking. The service is not available for European one-way journeys.
Comprehensive insurance is normally included for eligible named drivers on vehicles up to and including 7.5 tonnes, unless a different arrangement is requested and approved.
Driver approval, excess and exclusions apply. Goods in transit, overhead-height, tyre, windscreen and flood damage are excluded. 18, 26 and 44 tonne vehicles require customer insurance and applicable operator credentials.
A 10% hire-rate reduction may apply when an acceptable company motor policy provides the required comprehensive cover for the hired vehicle and drivers.
The policy and certificate of insurance must be supplied and approved before delivery, and the customer is responsible for adding the supplied vehicle to the Motor Insurance Database for the hire period. Eligibility depends on the vehicle and proposed use.
Representative car, van, minibus and truck groups can be compared, with vehicle suitability and exact specification confirmed for the booking.
Images and model names describe representative classes. The exact make, model, transmission, body and specification are confirmed for the booking.
Build the passenger and meeting-point plan
A group trip has a few more moving parts than a journey in a single car.
Whoever drives must hold the right licence entitlement for a minibus, so confirm this early rather than on the day.
Seats and luggage compete for space, so allow for cases, pushchairs or kit alongside every passenger.
Agree where each passenger joins the trip to avoid unnecessary backtracking.
For evening events, decide in advance who will drive back, because that person won't be drinking.
Barkham minibus hire journey notes
The operator of Barkham Village Hall, which sits beside St James' Church, takes bookings for weddings, christenings, parties and other social events. If you're gathering guests from elsewhere for an occasion there, a self-drive minibus keeps everyone arriving together.

Confirm the group journey and minibus handover
Book a minibus once your headcount and driver are settled.
Send us the final passenger count and an idea of the luggage so the vehicle offered has enough space.
Provide the driver's licence details so we can check their entitlement before the hire is confirmed.
At handover, adjust the mirrors and seat and get used to the controls before the group climbs aboard.
