When it fits, when it doesn’t

When is a people carrier the right choice, and when not?

A people carrier is the right choice for up to eight people: the vehicle is small enough to go door to door and quick to arrange. For an airport transfer with a family or a business trip with a few colleagues, it's the simplest solution. Above eight people it's out. Then you move to a minibus, even if it's only one extra person.

And for a day trip with many stops a people carrier makes less sense: there's no luggage hold under the floor and no room for the whole group to stop for long along the way.

What to look out for with a people carrier

Eight people is the upper limit; with nine you move to a minibus, even for one extra person.
The luggage goes in the boot: eight people and eight large suitcases don't go together.
Ask about the coach company's response time if you need the trip the same day.
For a one-way trip you don't need to make a day plan. Say which direction you need.

Request your people carrier with no obligation via BusOffer

For a small group a people carrier is often cheaper than several separate taxis, but that saving stays invisible without a comparison. We put it next to a regular minibus option, so you can weigh it up yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about hiring a people carrier

How quickly can I arrange a people carrier?

That varies per coach company. With an offer you see how quickly that company responds, once it has answered enough requests to measure that fairly.

Is a people carrier cheaper than separate taxis?

That depends on your trip. Fill it in, then you see what a people carrier costs and can compare that with separate taxis.

What is the difference between a people carrier and a minibus?

The number of seats and the set-up. A people carrier takes up to eight people and goes door to door; a minibus starts at eight and goes up to sixteen. If you're at exactly eight people, compare both.

Can I make a one-way trip with a people carrier?

Yes. A one-way trip, a return or a trip with a stop along the way are all possible; say in your request what you need.

How much luggage fits in a people carrier?

The boot is the limit, and it gets smaller as soon as the rear row is in use. Say in your request what needs to come along, and the coach company will know whether its vehicle will do.
