Coach hire for 25 people

Twenty-five people is the size of a midibus. You have room to spare for supervisors and luggage, and the bus still gets through a village centre or up a narrow drive to a party venue.

Our advice for 25 people

For twenty-five people we recommend a midibus with a driver. Choose one with thirty to thirty-nine seats if you bring luggage or make a long journey; then not everyone has a neighbour. Above thirty-five people we recommend a full-size coach.

Which coach suits 25 people?

The seats per type, from minibus to double-decker. The type that suits your group stands out. Click a bar for more about that type.

Which size do you choose for 25 people?

With twenty-five the difference between a midibus and a full-size coach is not in the seats but in comfort over a long distance. For a day trip within Belgium a midibus is roomy enough. If you are going to the Moselle, the Black Forest or a ski resort, a full-size coach has more luggage space and often a toilet and a coffee machine on board.

What does a coach for 25 people cost?

A price without your trip would be a guess for 25 people, so it is not shown here. What you pay mainly depends on four things:

The vehicle. How many seats 25 people need, and what is on board.
The trip. How long the coach is on the road with your 25, how far it drives, and how far the coach company has to travel to reach you.
The day and the time. On a Saturday, a Sunday or public holiday, or at night, our standard rate adds a surcharge.
The month. Our standard rate differs per month: higher in busy months than in quiet ones.

How we work that out is explained on How we calculate.

Practical points for 25 people

A group of twenty-five is the size of a secondary school class, a brass band on its way to a concert or the staff party of a small company. If you travel with a class, put in the request how many pupils and how many supervisors are coming: that way the comparison counts with the right number of seats.

Low-emission zones and your coach

What to look out for with 25 people

A midibus can also pull a trailer for musical instruments or bikes. Not every coach company has one; ask in your request.
If you drive back in the evening after a concert or a party, agree the departure time in advance. A driver may only work a limited number of hours a day.
With a group that gets on at different places, plan the pick-up points along the route and not back and forth. Every extra stop costs a quarter of an hour.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about a coach for 25 people

Is a midibus big enough for 25 people?

Yes. A midibus has twenty to thirty-nine seats, so with twenty-five you still have seats to spare for supervisors or bags.

Does a midibus for 25 people have a toilet?

Not always. Smaller buses have one less often than a large coach. If you need a toilet, mention it in your request.

When do I still choose a full-size coach for 25 people?

For a long journey with luggage, for a trip of several days, or if everyone wants a lot of legroom. On a short day trip a midibus is more manoeuvrable and easier to park.

What does it cost to hire a coach for 25 people?

That depends on your trip: how far and how long, on which day and at what time, and which vehicle fits 25 people. Fill in your route and date, and within a minute you see what coach companies charge for your trip with 25 people.
