Last Updated 18th April 2014

In addition to our prearranged holidays and day trips, we can offer very competitive rates for private hire to any, school, sports club, society, social group, works organisations etc... Marchants main hire fleet includes 18 coaches ranging from standard class to fully equipped executives and from 14  to 77 seats. All our executive and standard class coaches are fitted with seat belts. All coaches and buses are fully maintained in our own M.O.T standard workshop and constantly refurbished and upgraded. In 2005, 4 brand new executives have been bought - 2 x 51 seats and 2 x 53 seat. Both these coaches will offer potential hirers vital additional seats over the standard 48/49 configuration. Out top executive coaches can be adapted to have seats removed and replaced by tables (extra fitting charge payable).

We also have a number of service buses, single and double decker, with and without seat belts which are ideally suited if you are looking for just a short or cross-town trip at a budget price. These have proved very popular for weddings and staff parties. .  Whether it is for a few hours or a holiday abroad for several days, Marchants will be happy to quote for coach hire. We have an associate company who can put together an inclusive deal with accommodation.

We undertake a lot of work involving schoolchildren and students from all over the country, for travel within the UK and Europe. We operate extended tours and day trips under contract to various educational authorities and specialist school travel organisers as well as under direct hire from the schools. Ski trips, exchange visits, curriculum sight-seeing trips, foreign language schools etc. Marchants have over 50 years involvement in student travel. We use our most experienced drivers all  of whom have received clearance certificates from the competent local, national and polices authorities and most have the "enhanced"level which enables them to be involved in any educational setting.
